Cherish Each Unique Moment

Hello Dreamers:

Today is Halloween in the year 2009. There will only be one of this particular day in my life and so I try to pay attention to details. The Texas Book Festival show is tomorrow and a big article about the Fairy Godmother Academy will be in tomorrow morning’s paper. The air is sparkly blue like the sky. I look for something to wear that is this color of blue so I will sparkle too. The leaves on the bush by my door are my favorite color- chartreuse. I want to wear the day the way the plants and sky do. People get ready to play music in Austin where Halloween is a gigantic party. I want to immerse myself in it so I dance around the house to the songs on the radio and write a song too. I am aware of my happiness.

My Knowledge: I know it is Halloween.

My Understanding: This is the only Halloween in 2009 and the only day of my life that will have these things in just this way.

My Wisdom: Knowing when “good” cannot be better.
