You don’t have to run if you don’t want to, but you do have to ground yourself in the present, check in with your body, strive to see everything as it is and not just as you would have it be, eat a balanced die, make sure you get enough sleep, and experience the effervescent joy of the now. Is that too tall of an order? Am I overreaching? Well, I suppose it’s good to reach far when it comes to things like that, and it’s not like I’m asking you to start eating raw liver and getting up at 4:30, though if that helps you experience the effervescent joy of the now, then by all means. I’m just saying, with new seasons, and new weeks, and new days, come new opportunities for being present. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, should I become a cult leader? Before I go much further with that thread, let’s look at today’s stories, shall we? We have an article about the creepiest (a.k.a. most fun) ghost towns in every state, our favorite fall items from Trader Joe’s, the “best cities'' in America, a travel company that will help you go on an international trip every year, and finally, expert tips on what to pack for a cruise in the Caribbean. I have to wander into the woods now, looking for Halloween spirit! Bye!
