Tonight, or about 2 hours ago I began my first trick or treat experience in Canada. Imagine we are running a business and the candy I have at home is cash. When kids come I give out candy and when my nephew collects we receive cash. Those are my payables and receivables. In the end our product is, shall we say, “ happy Halloween.” The more kids come, the happier they leave because they get candy, and that’s the business we are in.
Richard so cutely dressed as puppy . I went with him & we started spending more and more time at every house. The weather was so cold but we didn't care. It was wonderful walking around the neighborhood and meeting the people that in the usual hustle of the week. I never make the effort to get to know. Everybody was friendly. Everybody was smiling. Despite the troubled times we were in, there was magic around and that magic was the sense of community. While I was two continents and an ocean away from my homeland I found a similar sense of security and friendship.
No matter how difficult things may get, no matter how far away you may be from your comfort zone, when you make the effort there are always friends around. Tonight was the celebration of the human spirit and I am very happy that my first Halloween in here ended in such a good note.
I had a wonderful time, everything worked out nicely, and will definitely be throwing another one next year! :)
