Trick-or-Treat was kind of a bust from my point of view

I was actually home through most of it, but not one trick-or-treater came by looking for candy. Granted, I live in an apartment complex, but still. I thought I might get a few, and I always feel bad if I don't have anything at all for them. But, alas, they missed out, and I went on over to my friends' house with about a half an hour to go till the end of the trick-or-treating (it was moved to this evening due to the severe weather of yesterday). Also, apparently the place to go after trick-or-treating is McDonald's, because I went over there right before 'Grimm' to get us some food and it was crazy. There were about 20 cars in the double drive-through, with more waiting to get into the lot. I went on inside and placed my order, and I'm sure I got it long before some of those people did, but it was very busy inside as well. I had no idea what a happening place it would be!

Now I'm home. My upstairs neighbour has lights up for Diwali (actually, there are quite a few light strings throughout the complex, as we have quite a lot of people from India and South Asia here. It's very cheery. So, happy Diwali this weekend.

I think I'm going to listen to some music in the bedroom, maybe read awhile, and just relax, then head on to bed. Hope you had a good week and have a great weekend ahead of you! Good night.

Happy Diwali!

Here's more on Diwali.

Shubh Diwali!

For those who celebrate it, have a wonderful Diwali full of light and prosperity!

It must be Diwali

All of my Indian neighbours (and there are quite a few families in the complex) have lights in their windows. The couple across the hall also have a beautiful combination of flower garland and orange tinsel with fall leaves in it. They have a doormat with 'joy' on it, too. As always, wonderful scents of Indian food waft from their apartment, and usually they have friends over at this time. Diwali is the Indian and Nepalese festival of lights/harvest festival/conquering of the dark by the light (and evil by good), a time of goodwill and happiness. It is celebrated around the world by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains with candles, lights, and fireworks. It is also known as Deepawali or Divali.

For those who celebrate Diwali, may it be full of fortune and happiness. The world needs as much Light in it as possible.
