That's October 19th

Thanks to petty reasoning, disappointment came over me the weekend before last. And soon this disappointment turned into anticipation. I don't know how long I can wait, but perhaps this is only another test of patience in the most superficial form out there. One good lesson has emerged from this: October 19th is not just a date, it is a state of mind.

When autumn finally feels like autumn outside -- that's October 19th.

When someone says exactly what you need to hear at a given time -- that's October 19th.

When you break open a new jar of nutella -- that's October 19th.


When you go to Disneyland one hour before it closes just because you can -- that's October 19th.

Turning a four hour car drive into a one-woman karaoke room -- that's October 19th.

When you surprise a good friend on her birthday -- that's October 19th.

When prayers are answered -- that's October 19th.

When Christmas decorations arrive at the stores --that's October 19th.

When your favorite book series comes out with a new book -- that's October 19th.

Finding five and a half hours in one day to start indulging in musical expression -- that's October 19th.

When the Blue Man Group teaches you more about your eyes than you ever learned in any science class you took in school -- that's October 19th.




When opportunities arise to help others -- that's October 19th.

When you put together a fun Halloween costume on a very low budget and feel more than satisfied with the outcome -- that's October 19th.

Eating a four-course meal with great company without spending a cent -- that's October 19th.

When you lead a party with 22 babies/toddlers/kids and 40+ adults without getting a drop of paint on your fancy vest you borrowed -- that's October 19th.

When your co-workers save your butt with bubbles -- that's October 19th.

When you memorize a beautiful wedding song sooner than expected -- that's October 19th.

When gas prices drop below $4.00 -- that's October 19th.

Knowing that although it was supposed to air on October 19th, Community will be back for its fourth season someday -- that's October 19th.

Happy October 19th!!
