There was no trick-or-treating on any kind of waide scale. My (American) school put out a list of addresses of student's houses you could trick-or-treat at. My very nice parents drove us around all night. The nice thing was that you got really nice candy because the parents knew you wouldn't be going to a lot of houses. <BR/><BR/>We took our British neighbor friend trick-or-treating one year. She was about six. We told her to wear a costume. In England, bathing suits are called swimming costumes, so she walked around in her bathing suit all night.HereWeGoAJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457680345376171720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-46829402062271688712007-11-03T08:31:00.000-04:002007-11-03T08:31:00.000-04:00Me again!Please consider this post for next week's...Me again!<BR/><BR/>Please consider this post for next week's roundup:<BR/><BR/>http://vacantuterus.typepad.com/vacantuterus/2007/11/you-should-see-.html<BR/><BR/>I think it's great.

I hope M feels comforted by your true words and by all of us who will be enveloping her and her upturned filing cabinet in our hearts. <BR/><BR/>As for meditation, I'm not sure what the challenge was, but your experience was not unique! Here's my shaky attempt at explaining my understanding of meditiation: all day long while you're running around here there and everywhere, your mind is chattering away at you in the background. The first part of meditation is quieting oneself physically, so of course you're then going to encounter your chattering mind... and she tends to be great at anxiety-provoking thoughts. The actual practice of meditation is so beneficial because you learn to see beyond that chatter. As with anything else, it takes a lot of practice, and is especially challenging because you have to get past being sucked in by your own "Swamp of Sadness."<BR/><BR/>Happy weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-32005748570522936512007-11-02T15:26:00.000-04:002007-11-02T15:26:00.000-04:00Yeah, I had a hard time with the meditation challe...Yeah, I had a hard time with the meditation challenge too.
