Much has happened this past year. Most I will leave behind and some I will take on with new year. Unfortunately, I didn't have the Samhain I planned but I enjoyed it. I spent the evening passing out candy, reflecting on the issues I've encountered as well as the blessings and remembering my ancestors and loved ones that have passed on this year. When I woke up the following day, I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off of me. Off with the old, and in with the new.
A new friend, that I met this year and hope to spend more time getting to know her, had written about her reflections this past Samhain and feel the same way. Things happen for a reason. People change. You cant be the same person forever. One must evolve, and grow. I cannot be stagnant. I mourn the lost relationships but celebrate the new and those that are becoming stronger. I put to death my old ways and welcome change; positive change.
So how was your Samhain?

Let's see - October 31st - gosh, I can hardly remember what I did yesterday, nevermind over a month ago - but if I remember correctly, I was bad; yes. I locked the front gate, put barking dogs in the yard, and turned off my outside lights, hibernating in the safe recesses of my livingroom watching something meaningless on tv.

How dramatic is that. Who were you avoiding? Spirits can still see you. :P
