." How wonderful is the way in which, with quite ordinary folk, power leaps to our aid in any time of emergency. We lead timid lives, shrinking from difficult tasks till perhaps we are forced into them or ourselves determine on them, and immediatly we seem to unlock the unseen forces. When we have to face danger, then courage comes, when trial puts a long-continued strain upon us, we find ourselves possessed by the power to endure; if when disaster ultimately brings the fall which we so long dreaded, we feel underneath us the strength as of the everlasting arms. Common experience teaches that, when great demands are made upon us, if only we fearlessly accept the challenge and confidently expend our strength, every danger or difficulty brings its own strength - " As thy days so shall thy strength be ". "

I like these words a lot. Hope you enjoy it... brings to my mind this thought: there are sometimes in our lives " doors " that only can be unlock from inside

" "Is your date super...or scary?"
By Margot Carmichael Lester

It’s Halloween time and the world is full of ghosts, goblins, witches and warlocks. Are you unsure about the new person you’re dating? Wondering if he or she is as wonderful as you think... or if there’s a dark side emerging? Take this fun quiz to find out if your companion is super or scary.

1. Which scary movie would your Halloween honey most likely want to see?
Saw 2. Um, someone’s deeply troubled. (Score = -1)
The Devil’s Rejects. Definitely a throwback; definitely creepy. (Score = 1)
Halloween. This person likes the idea of hiding behind a mask. (Score = 2)
Young Frankenstein. Your sweetie has a great sense of humor. (Score = 3)
Dracula. Your honey has the good taste to appreciate a timeless classic. (Score = 4)

2. What’s your date’s idea of a great night out?
Scaring the heck out of unsuspecting trick-or-treating kids. (Score = -1)
Going out with the gang—instead of you. (Score = 1)
Spending the night behind a mask at a costume party. (Score = 2)
Cuddling with you at a scary movie. (Score = 3)
Playing a sexy game of trick-or-treat with you. (Score = 4)

3. How does your little monster respond when hit on by someone else?
Flirts like the devil with anyone s/he can scare up. (Score = -1)
Immediately determines how much s/he can get away with. (Score = 1)
Looks around to see a) if I’m looking and b) as if to say “you talkin’ to me?” (Score = 2)

The “Twilight Zone” theme (Score = -1)
The All-American Rejects’ “Move Along” (Score = 1)
Korn’s “Coming Undone” (Score = 2)
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You” (Score = 3)
James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” (Score = 4)

Less than 0: Devil in disguise. This guy or gal is the original Nightmare on Elm Street (or any other street). “Such a personality reflects much deeper unresolved issues,” observes Mick Quinn, author of Power and Grace—An Adventure in Evolving Consciousness. “It is best to limit or end your relationship with that person.”

0-5: Misfit of Science. There’s nothing particularly scary about this person, but it’s clear you’re not a love match. “Why continue dating someone who is totally wrong for you?” asks Aneva Stout, author of The List: A Love Story in 781 Chapters. “Find a kind way to say sayonara. Tell this person you think he or she is nice, interesting, and fun, but that something is missing and that you should both move on separately. You don’t have to be specific about exactly why.”

6-10: Scaredy Cat. Your date’s terribly insecure. “Acknowledge his or her insecurities, but don’t include them in the relationship,” counsels Jackie Woods, author of Soulmate or Cellmate: A Guide to Healthy Relationships. You shouldn’t be turning yourself inside-out to work around this person’s issues. “Be understanding about his or her fears and at the same time firm about your boundaries in order to keep those insecurities at bay.” The whole relationship can’t revolve around shoring up your date’s sagging ego; see if your relaxed, supportive attitude sparks this person’s confidence. It could go either way.

11-15: Casper, the Friendly Ghost. Your date’s cute and awfully sweet. This one’s pretty promising and definitely worth more of your time. Look for signs that you’re growing closer together (more shared experiences and values, for example) And check in with yourself, too. Are you getting what you need from this person? Do you like and trust him or her? Watching for these signs will help you decide if you want to continue seeing this person or move on to someone new.

16-20: Wonder Woman or Superman. No scary stuff here—just lots of great treats! "

Happy Halloween,
