Happy... Halloween

Just finished Agatha All Along's first season.  I won't give spoilers, but it is very good.... sad... but good.  Thus, the ... between Happy and Halloween in the blog title, too.  I've repeatedly talked about the value of darkness and struggles in my posts.  You often need those dark places.  

I will give one non spoiler quote to this effect from the final episodes.  One person was struggling, and another started to rush over to help and Agatha said, "Don't rob her of her struggle."  I think that only goes so far, and you SHOULD help those in need.  However, recently, I've also reflected on many in society that feel life should come to them on a platter and sees every difficulty as an attack.  Sometimes... it's just hard.  Sometimes, evil things just happen, which IS a theme in both Agatha and Wandavision it came from.  When we ignore that and whine about everything that's difficult, we are wasting time we have to do something about it or more often just create something new.  But, FIRST, you have to face reality, which is the scariest thing you'll do this Halloween.  

Life can be scary, but so can we.  We have everything we need to solve our problems.  However, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. When I do, I close my eyes, take a breath, slow my pace, and with a clearer head and determination take the next steps forward, and that's often all we need to rise and begin.

May your Halloween effectively reveal the truth you need to find your path on the other side.
