Rainy Day Woman

Its Oct 15th. Exactly 16 days until Oct 31st which has always been a favorite holiday of mine. I love to see the kiddies all dressed up in thier little outfits. Also this year is more important because it is my first Samhain or witches new year. I'm studying to become a wiccan for lack of a better term. I hate the word witch because of the negative connotations but I guess in reality that is what I have always been. I just never knew there was a name for it or how to develope it. Most people don't really know about it or is it accepted in our world as a real religion or faith. I just has to do with living in harmony with the world around you and taking your place in it. That's the simplest way to describe it. There is not alot of guidance out there so you kind of have to feel your way along on your own. It fun and its also hard because there is alot of internal work to do before you do anything else. Its not about casting spells or controlling people or situations. Its about accepting yourself where you are and trying to grow to your full potential using the power of your mind. The mind can be a damn hard opponent to over come. We are all creatures of habit and bad old habits are difficult to let go of. If you can't let go you can't grab onto anything new. There in lies the difficulty. Master your mind and the world is yours.....................let it master you and the world will run you down.......and down and down and down.......I am happy I am happy I am happy I am happy...........You are what you tell yourself all day long................I am happy I am happy I am happy.
