Another one of those lies I told myself -- but I won't beat myself up about it, and since the month of October isn't quite over, I didn't miss the month. Happy Halloween.
I bought candy today hoping to see some of the children in my building. I walked around the neighborhood today and saw them -- Adorable.
I don't have many memories of Halloween from my childhood. I wonder why. Weight was always such an issue in my family and so candy wasn't allowed. Gosh -- I have always promised myself that if I'm lucky enough to have my own children I will never do this to them. I'm not even a big candy eater -- give me a bag of Doritos and I'm a happy girl. Chips and dip are my thing. French fries -- okay, this is making me hungry. I'll stop.
And I am working on stopping the focus on the thoughts of what wasn't -- what was missed. I am about half way through my life (more or less I guess) and I want the rest of it to be about being happy and fulfilled. What was is over -- I can't change it. I can decide not to allow those who aren't positive in my life to not be a part of it. It isn't an easy process but I want those with me who allow me to enjoy a bit of candy once in a while if I want it. I want to be with those who will enjoy the french fries with me and then we can take a wonderful walk in the park to work it off.
