  • October is MY Month

     

    October has often been a month of somewhat surreal ups and downs for me….

    When I lived back East I loved the trees turning all those gorgeous colors in October. 

    As kids we picked up the brilliant maple leaves from the streets and sidewalks, flattened them in fat dictionaries and then coated them in paraffin.

    [remember paraffin?]

    [remember fat dictionaries?]

    As an adult, I got married in October…and as an adult my son's father and I split up in October. 

    And I seemed to have moved many times during many Octobers.

    Maybe the shrink inside my head should figure out what the meaning of October is for me.  Here goes…

    What October is not:

    It's not my birthday nor my son's and it's not always filled with nostalgia producing holidays.

    What October is:

    It is the "real" beginning of Fall, the last quarter of the year, and the start of the Federal fiscal year and It's just one month out of 12.

    Eh – maybe I shouldn't try to figure it all out and I should just go with each October's flow or tide as it comes.

    Oh well – for whatever the reason – I just know that this October is going to be one of the best yet! A high tide October

    Do you have a  month in your life in which a series "things"  have happened?

    Any clues as to why it is that month for you?

     

    Comments? Thank you.

  • It’s October Again

    Last year I wrote about the sort-of-meaning of Octobers in my life.

    I still have not come up with a good reason for my mental affair with this month 🙂 but it’s happening again.

    It’s been a pleasant month here [not much rain], the temperatures are mild and I am loving this October….

    We in the United States are also into the last weeks of what has been a very long election season [season equaling years it seems] and I have been busy doing lots of campaign activities.

    For whatever the reasons – be they real, imagined, political, friends, or family, my optimism about life is quite high and so is my energy. I am feeling great and I want to keep feeling this way forever…[well – I’d go along with an increase in this great feeling…]

    Just as I said last year about that being my best October – I’m now betting that this is my best October – and November and December and on into 2009!

    Isn’t it a great internal smile when you know that life is just going to keep getting better and better? Maybe that’s why I called this blog grow older better. Names or titles just pop into my head from my unconscious – and over the decades I’ve learned to trust my unconscious [After all – I am an Aquarian :-)]. So even when some said but grow older better is not grammatical – I liked it… And now it seems even more appropriate as I age and grow older better – and better, etc.
