Good morning
Welcome to MEA Weekend.
We have decided to send this week's email out a day early in case you don't have any plans for this long weekend in MN.
Before you take a look at all the options, I want to tell you another story about my morning walk with the dog.
As the winter is bearing down on us, Gypsy and I walk in complete, night-time darkness. I wear a reflector vest, the dog wears a reflective wrap, and I have a headlamp on my head. It's dark. Very dark.
Today I was listening to the latest episode of
What Should I Read Next, and normally it is a delightful listen. I love listening to the banter and chuckles between the host Anne Bogel and her guest
Today Anne and her guest Margaret discussed scary stories. Margaret was fairly new to liking ghost stories and horror stories (I'm sure this was planned to air around Halloween--I totally understand what holiday season we are in). So they were talking about all kinds of creepy storylines and movies.
Remember I was walking along very dark streets. Top that with Halloween decorations on people's front lawn and the creepy stories I was hearing in my ear.
Oooh, I was freaked out! I kept my head down and just kept walking knowing that if I just made it to the park, I would be okay.
What did I learn from this? I'm a Scaredy Cat, (this is not new information) and as a Scaredy Cat, I need to make better choices.
Do you ever feel that way?
Don't forget to take a look at what we found that was non-scary for you to enjoy with your kiddos this weekend!
