October

The bridge from autumn to winter. When the climate changes, the leaves fall, and the new year approaches. Time to stop and look back, think about the things done and the ones to not be repeated. Time to think about new goals for later and better changes for now. Time to gather with family and dine together in the holidays. To dress up for the day of the dead. To celebrate with love Hanukkah and Christmas. This time of the year, the time before a new beginning, is what I love. When I get to give out candy to the children. When I get to help prepare the Thanksgiving dinner. When I get to light up the candles of the Menorah. When I get to help decorate the Christmas tree. When I get to toast with the loved ones that night of New year's Eve. A great time to live, to make memories, to cherish for a lifetime. October, the passage way for all those great holidays, food, and lovely times. Oh, what a good time to come.
