Celebrate October!

HAPPY OCTOBER 1st!

I know when you look outside this morning, the bleak cloudy sky and the tremendous wind may not initially inspire you to jump out of bed and begin celebrating but I'm hoping to change your mind and provide that little bit of brightness.

First of all, it's Friday! This fact in itself is always reason to smile.

Aside from that, October 1st is...
  • Lee National Denim Day
  • National Diversity Day
  • UN International Day of Older Persons
  • World Smile Day
  • World Vegetarian Day
  • Anniversary of Walt Disney World
  • Anniversary of the CD Player and the Model T Ford
  • Independence Day of Cyrus and Nigeria
  • National Day in China
Not to mention October 1st marks the unofficial start to fall, which therefore means we can start preparing for all those comforting Holidays just around the corner.

The leaves are beginning to change into beautiful warm hues of red, umber, gold, and orange. Soon our kitchens will be filled with the comforting scent of homemade apple and pumpkin pie.

It's time to get into the Halloween spirit; decorate our windows with witch hat and jack-o-lantern stickers, watch horror films, pick out the perfect pumpkin, go for a spooky hayride, try desperately to find your way out of the corn maze (without getting confused by that scarecrow), and last but not least make it out alive of the haunted house!

For great holiday craft and food ideas visit www.holidays.net!

Some Halloween scary events and haunted houses you may be interested in are the Eastern State Penitentiary, which I personally thought was terrifying, and every year the Philadelphia Zoo has an event called Boo at the Zoo (this year it is October 16 and 17, and 23 and 24).

Don't forget every day there is a reason to celebrate, so today I encourage you to jump out of bed and celebrate the thing that means the most to you, whether it is that delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich you made for lunch or the fact that it's Friday. Find something to smile about, because after all, it is World Smile Day.

Sending a little magic your way...
