“Good morning world, as I blend my A DAILY CELEBRATION reflection in with the adjoining scripture.. please read (Proverbs 16:24) This is the guiding verse I have researched and picked to highlight my blog post today. Likewise, please enjoy my coordinating, original NEW JOSLIN FITZGERALD BOOK thought which is as follows. (To be happy and peaceful day and night, let’s think about the difference between tricks and sweet treats also things that are nice or frightening. And in that difference, that will give you a nice life I hope you always pick the sweet treat and not the frightening trick. That’s why with us getting very close to Halloween Night, in that nice, sweet treat, insight, I am asking you to be Nice and not to Terrify the Adults or Frighten the children ! Yes that’s a great request any day or night, because in everything we do in life we need to be Kind and Nice. That’s why to be nice on Halloween, we need to remember what it was like for us when we were frightened kids on those spooky Evenings. Therefore, shore to shore, with all of us remembering the Scary, Life changing bloody sights, that have given us the NIGHTMARES, and fears that to this date have never gone away! As adults… we need to realize no matter our age, that We are All still Terrified kids, especially when it comes to our memories of Halloween Night. So, to take the horrifying sights out of our eyes, as we calm our minds, and enjoy our life, we need to start by being NICE, to the kids in our life. Likewise, to make sure no life is full of fright… especially on Halloween night we each need to find a way to find the sweet treats in life, by not letting terror come into our days or nights! Therefore, shore to shore to Never Let Fear Come Near us, or the kids… we need to start by taking the fright out of Halloween night! Next to find the sweet treat we all need, we must put the nice, kind, sweet treats, and delightful things back into the children’s days and nights… Bottom line, no matter our age, Everybody needs to realize that in every way on every day or night… that nice, reassuring, polite words, and kind deeds… will always be like delightful, sweet treats in our life .”)JF So, thinking along these familiar lines as we are once again coming to the end of another months line. What comes to mind when I ask you one more time, what do the Clue filled trick or treat words… PLEASE DO NOT TERRIFY THE ADULTS OR FRIGHTEN THE KIDS mean to you. Likewise what do these words mean to your family, and friends too. So, knowing that there is yet another HOLLOWday event that’s coming around the bend. In that hollow day line of insight that has to do with everything! To find out what any of that really means. Here again is yet another clear, nice, kind, polite request that has to do with Holloween….and every day also night in-between. So to get things right let me say this once again Please don’t terrify the adults or frighten the children!!! And making that safe statement and protective request of you, while still thinking about who you are going to be for Holloween, or who you will be all of the days in-between. Additionally thinking about who you need to be! Likewise thinking about costumes and masks who represent who you don’t want to be. To see the difference in many things, let’s again think some more about who you are going to be for Holloween! And that’s another important inquiry that has to do with who you need to be. Because who you are going to be for HALLOWeen depends on who you think you are on the days in-between!! So, as this season and month are coming to an end, to know what that means! And to also know what you should be doing, and what you should not be doing too! Since some of you misguided…. confused people still like to make the holloween night and the hollow day all about dressing up like bloody zombies, ugly monsters, sick witches, ugly ghosts, and a host of other UGLY frightening dying and dead things too. Likewise, while some of you think that becoming tortured creatures and crazy frightening murdering people will be okay for just one night and day. Thinking that all has to do with Holloween…. Pretending that you are…. Who you don’t want to be! You need to realize if you want to terrify yourself, or horrify your family, as you traumatize your friends, while being somebody who you should not be! That’s another personal choice decision that will affect everybody else equally! That’s why, you need to know even though you think that kind of evil play is okay…..you should be advised that others AROUND YOU are thinking a different way. That means, even though you think it’s okay to look like a bloody mess on that hollow day and haunted eve. Just keep in mind many of us don’t feel the same way about being frightened or about seeing you screaming! Therefore, just like the kids….. Alot of adults with tender hearts…..don’t want to be frightened anymore. That’s why, you need to realize it is wrong to scare anybody who you know or don’t know! So, to make sure that everybody has a good time tomorrow night! Let me say this again…. PLEASE DON’T FRIGHTEN THE ADULTS OR TERRIFY THE CHILDREN! And making that protective pleading statement, while thinking about the arriving haunted night and hollow day. Still staying with my same sweet HALLOWeen or tricky HOLLOW-een theme. We all know it is the night before poor misunderstood HALLOWeen has come our way! That means, it’s actually the day… right before the frightening time when we feel like it is okay for the kids to accept candy from the strangers on the street who they meet. HOLLOWeen likewise means… it’s alright to talk to the evil looking people who we greet. Additionally, HOLLOWeen means…. It is okay to play dead and to look like you are dying in odd terrifying ways that evening. And HOLLOWeen also means…. While playing spooky music it’s alright to pretend that you are being murdered, and tortured, while screaming! But WAIT…..is that really okay!!!?. Is that really the right message you want to send to the adults or the kids who come your way! And is that evil way really a great way to play on halloween night and or ANY day? Because guess what not every-body feels that same way! That’s why, with many of us NOT wanting to be scared to death! And with many of us NOT wanting to be sent into cardiac arrest! And with many of us NOT wanting to have guns or knives shoved into our chests. And with many of us NOT wanting to be taken off into an early murdered eternal rest! And with some of NOT wanting to have never ending nightmares! With everybody WANTING to have a nice time in a clean, safe way! Today I want to remind you that tomorrow night, as the old and young alike are coming out play. While trying to have good, clean, sweet treat fun each in their own way….. That not everybody thinks…. That having the kids taking treats from strangers is okay . Not everybody thinks talking to evil looking people, while screaming, or looking like you are dead is a good way to play… Not everybody thinks looking like you are being brutally murdered, tortured, or dying while being fed to moaning demons is neat or okay!… Bottom line there are some of us who have a different version of play! Therefore, as we open up our doors, everybody must understand ….that there needs to be a safe place for those who want to play the right way! That’s why, to show the kids of every age… The softer side of life! There are things we need to do and other things we must not say too, if we want this to be a safe happy holiday night! So, in that tricky statement as the kids are asking us for candy, or nice things …while not wanting them to be haunted by scary nightmares for the rest of their lives! We need to know the difference between a TRICKY HOLLOW-een. And a SWEET TREAT HAPPY HALLOW-EEN before the frightening night! So to put the HALLOW back into Halloween… AS WE TAKE THE HOLLOW EVIL THINGS OUT! To make hallow een nice, kind, polite, and peaceful again. We need to ask ourselves…. Do we really know what we are doing as we are celebrating evil witchy things! Also thinking about the kids do we really know what issues will be hiding behind the children’s masks? Do we really know how fast their little hearts will be beating in their chests? And without asking, while looking at the weird shadows they cast… Do we know if the child hiding behind the mask is actually happy to be out and about? Likewise, do we really know what’s going on inside of their heads and minds, as they walk the streets of the worm filled dead? Likewise, do we know if they are painfully shy? Do we know if any of the young ones hiding behind their costumes going on by are silently crying? And not knowing the answers to those tricky questions without knowing why they are shy… or if they are crying…. We need to nicely ask the kids how they are doing! Then asking that “hi how are you” question as the haunted night, try’s to pass by…. Thinking about the children passing our way… as they grab the treats and candy then dash away. To keep everybody safe… including you and I… the adults need to keep smiling and not screaming! And by doing that WE NEED TO SAFELY PUT THE SWEET TREAT BACK INTO HALLOWEEN. So, in doing all of these sweet, peaceful things, we should not scare or frightened the children. We should also not embarrass them on that evening. And if they do not say anything…. Because they are being quiet on HALLOWeen…when we hand them their treats, we should not lose our temper or scold them as they are leaving when they don’t speak or say trick or treat. We should also not make fun of the kids or mock them if they do not respond appropriately by saying “thank you.” right away. Additionally, we should not get mad if the kids in any way do not laugh or play. And peeking over their see and say mask brims…. Looking into OUR SCARY, UNFAMILIAR FACES we should not demand any kids to do tricks for candy! We should also not demand any child to perform for us, as we scream or harass them as the sugary tempting candy is passed! And nobody should pretend to shoot them, stab them, or act like they will eat them, or kill them! Because what you think is innocent play acting….. IS ACTUALLY QUITE REAL AND TERRIFYING TO A CHILD AND ALOT OF ADULTS! That’s why you must never scare or frighten the children, or terrify the adults too! Yes that’s great advice any day or night no matter who we are. That’s why, to be nice to the children, as we likewise enjoy the quiet in our time, we need to realize that no matter our age, we are all still terrified kids inside. Yes, we are all kids who still have nightmares about being frightened on Halloween night. So, to take the horrifying sights out of our eyes, as we calm our minds, and enjoy our life, we need to find a way to escape fright, by not letting terror or evil come ALIVE! That means, to never let fear come near us or the kids…we need to remember…. To take the fright out of our eyes, and to put the nice things back into the children’s days and nights … that no matter our age… we will find kind, gentle, reassuring words… and peaceful deeds will always be like a Sweet Treat to the soul, also, equally healing to mind and body. So, making HALLOW een sweet, peaceful, and clean again in every way. In that HALLOW task while silently praying for their safety….. We should give the kids the real sweet treat that lasts every day. That means, dressing up like nice, kind, and polite people! While being who… we need to be! As the kids walk up and trot away from or door going down the street. We should silently pray for their soul and safety!!! Additionally, we should also pray for them to stay safe throughout their life. And as they grab their candy and dash away stopping the nightmares that will haunt their life…by following the golden rule….to be who you need to be, and TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WANT OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU TOO….. There will always be many things we should NOT do on HALLOWeen eve! And the number one thing is…. We should not terrify the adults or frighten the children! So, in review… whatever you do……. PLEASE DO NOT TERRIFY THE KIDS…. OR FRIGHTEN THE ADULTS …. ON HALLOWEEN… OR ANY DAY OR NIGHT IN-BETWEEN!” Joslin Fitzgerald. ……. The merry Mary author
