People are often surprised to learn that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Especially since I’m not a fan of horror movies or anything scary. 

I love that one day a year we get to be someone, or something, else. We get to leave behind all the things that demand our attention throughout the year, don a mask, and become something different than what we are.  

For just a little while we get to be kids again without the worry of responsibilities. We get to be silly or clever or scary… we get to be unique. Anything we want. The possibilities are endless. 

So what are you going to be? 

Me? 

Well, I think I’m going to be a writer.
