For whatever the reason, October has been a month of real ups and real downs for me....Back East I used to love October with the trees turning all sorts of colors...As a kid we picked up the brilliant maple leaves from the street and sidewalk and coated them in paraffin...remember that?
As an adult, I got married in October...and as an adult we split in October....
I have also moved during several Octobers...maybe the shrink inside my head should figure out what October is for me? It's not my birthday nor my son's - and it's not filled with nostalgia producing holidays - it's just October! It's the "real" beginning of Fall and the last quarter of the year...hmm gotta mull over the meaning of October : -)
There have been other good events outside my control which were October-related but for whatever the reason - I just know that this October is one of the best yet!
Do you have a weird month in your life? Any clues as to why?

I like October also. Perhaps, October is something like being our 70s metaphorically speaking. Its a time of reflection, of peace with oneself of knowlege that winter is coming and that we can savor the warmth, as well as the coming cool, fully.
