October is one of my favorite months. For one thing, it falls on the best day, Halloween. I have always loved Halloween. I remember going out with my brothers and sisters with painted faces and a pillow case and running through the small community I live in and try to get as much candy as I can. My brothers and other boys used to push down the outhouses...lol. They were the talk of the town the next day. We would sometimes have to fight, with some other boys who showed up, so they wouldn't steal our candy. They would try to grab the pillow cases and we would swing them around and yell as loud as we could. Then we would run home. That day was fun and exciting and scary. I passed on my love of Halloween to my children and my grandchildren. My granddaughter already decorated the inside of my house!
October means beautiful fall days that smell so good. I love pumpkins and candied apples. Thanksgiving is also this month and I am already craving some turkey. This is also a sad time because this will be our first year we celebrate giving thanks without my mom being there. I don't celebrate the traditional thanksgiving because it wasn't great historically for Indigenous people in Canada but I do enjoy spending time with my family and giving thanks for our amazing life. I am going to give thanks for my mom. I love her and I miss her everyday.
I started writing ideas for self care a couple months ago. I think it's a great idea to remind us to take care of ourselves. I tried to include fun things that everyone could enjoy. You can save it on my facebook page "aspenroadresources-priscilla lalonde".
