Tonight is All Hallow's Eve. Now it is the time to think about giving thanks and it all starts tomorrow with All Saints Day and saying thank you to all who have gone before. Thanksgiving is a day that brings families together and to show gratitude for what they have accomplished hopefully for the good. We all hope to be bountiful in what we do in our lives no matter what we choose. It's time to put away the scary and bring out the joy of harvest time and to help others in need and give thanks for surviving tonight.

Looking at Old Photos
Going through many old photographs from my parents' younger days through my childhood of the 1960's and 1970's. There are black and white ones as well as those color ones with all the 'red' eyes. There were tears and smiles with more smiles than tears. As I found out my mom saved all those school pictures (individual and class). I began looking at these and wondered whatever happened to most of them especially from elementary school. I know some moved but believe it or not I found a few on social media and now are 'friends' once again. Happy memories.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The strike reflects deep concerns about working conditions, patient safety, and fair treatment for healthcare professionals who are considered the backbone of hospital care.

Thank you for sharing the gratitude reminder!!😊💕💖
Lovely Drabble for tonight Mark 😊🦋😊
This is a great Drabble, Mark! I never really thought about the transitioning and contrasts between two, back-to-back and completely opposite holidays.
To be honest I do not like Halloween, My favorite holiday is Christmas. Thanksgiving is great reminder of being grateful. Your piece shows what should be important.
Both Halloween and Thanksgiving is unfamiliar for me (I mean I never experienced them truly.) My mind already wandered to Christmas, as the shops are full with Christmas chocolate and decoration already. But All Saints Day is something we celebrate in Hungary, too and it's one of my favorites.
