Thursday, 1 November

So Halloween was last night and we ended up going to some friends house to pass out candy. So many kids, all dressed up trick or treating. Lots of very cute kids and surprisingly there were a lot of older kids as well. There were cheerleaders, cowboys, cats, dogs, Batman, Harry Potter - some kids had really detailed ornate costumes and others had on just masks. It just got me to thinking about all the different masks we wear everyday. The Happy face mask we put on even when were down/upset or the Professional business mask when we go to work, The Brave Face even though we may be scared, etc. I feel like I've been putting on the Happy Face mask a lot lately, trying to convince everyone around me that I'm fine, Happy Go-Lucky Eric. For the most part, I am very happy - I really don't have many complaints in life but sometimes I feel like I just want to stay in bed, pull the covers over my head and never get up. Truthfully I know, when people ask "How are you doing?" - all they really want to hear is "Fine", it's a form of politeness. It would be great though, if we could be completely honest and get off our chests how we are really feeling. So Today even though I may say "I'm fine" - honestly, I'm feeling a little down. I feel like I'm missing something, nothing physical like my wallet or chapstick it's something else.
