Want to dress up?

It's Halloween, and I'm writing this in between rings of the doorbell and shouts of 'trick or treat.' There's something extra special about a holiday in the middle of the week. Every normal schedule gets set aside for little while. And on this one of a kind day, you get to dress up as anything you want on top of everything else. Who could ask for anything more?

If you were dressing up this year (and maybe some of you are) who - or what - would you be? Already tonight I've seen a grown-up Spider Man, a miniature Jack Sparrow, the full cast of characters from the Wizard of Oz - even a clever bottle of Dasani water. But wait. My question here is serious. Who would you be if you could be anyone you chose? What costume would you wear? What mannerism? What personality? Work with me here, girls. Visit the theater of your mind and tell me what part you'd like to play.

Maybe it's time we all got back in touch with our inner trick or treater, played around with what our dream costume would be, and then, live with it a bit. How do you feel? What does it bring out in you that you might ignore in your oh-so-busy life? Hmmmm. Maybe, just maybe, we're gathering clues to what just might be missing in our lives - or at least what's hidden from view that may need to be brought to light, at least every now and then.

Got your mind moving? Good! Now, I've got to run; the doorbell's ringing. Where did I put those Wonder Woman cuffs?
