Horror and Hugs


Watching movies is simply recreation for me.  So is reading.  Yet occasionally I end up involved in things that are a bit heavy and my mind enjoys the chance to step out of its usual rut for a while.

I am reading The Inferno and last night I watched a horror film.  Neither one are typical fare for me.  If I was my mother I would not have let me watch that film.  It was way too dark for me and I only kept watching out of curiosity.

All night long I had disturbing dreams, really disturbing dreams!  In fact, they are still hanging over me like a dismal net full of tiny bits of flotsam dulling my day.

Waking up has been a combination of relief and desire to diffuse that anxiety.

I need a rug rat – quick!  Someone to hold in my lap and cuddle close!  Last night I skyped with my grandchildren, saw their pumpkin hats on their tiny smiling faces.

That is much closer to my idea of Halloween!
