Last night was one scary night!! My 3 year old grandson had been talking for weeks about going into Stanley Park and going on the Halloween train. This ride meanders through part of the park and into tunnels and heavy forest areas. During this time of year, scary ghosts and goblins jump out as the train travels along. This was very exciting to him prior to the event, but as the ride unfolded it seemed a little more than he had imagined or bargained for. Very soon after we started he exclaimed: "I am ready to go home now". This was impossible as we were underway. His Dad and Mom talked him through the fear and he seemed to cope OK until the end. To add to the scare factor, it was pitch black out and a strong wind had been blowing the leaves and howling through the large trees in the park.
I thought it was an interesting parallel to life in general where we wish for things and sometimes have no idea how we will cope with the wish should it come true. As we walked home in the howling wind, I took the above image that I now share with you.
I wish for you, that all your wishes come true, and when they do, I hope they make you happy, and you do not say "I want to go home now!!!"
Live well and prosper.
