Happy Halloween! It's supposedly the scariest day of the year and I'm only expecting on average about 0-5 trick-or-treaters knocking on my door tonight…
I've been one to admit that I generally don't enjoy Halloween. Even when I was a kid I only ever went out once. I went out as a witch for a Halloween party. I wore those rubber witch fingers which made my real fingers drip with sweat, my top was just a black rubbish bag and I wore a witch's hat which was too big for my head. I had my pumpkin bucket with me all ready to go trick or treating, but as we walked around in a big group, I tripped over and all my sweets fell out. So then it turned into a fun game of 'Find the sweets in the dark of night'.
In the present day, I'm one of those people who hides behind their curtains when trick-or-treaters come to my door. On the odd occasion, I do open the door, but 95% of the time I don't. My main concern is that nobody eggs my car!
Halloween gives people the chance to scare the bejesus out of you and pull scary pranks. I jump a mile when there's a loud bang or when someone suddenly comes up behind me when I get my headphones in.
This got me thinking, what are the things that I am scared of in my life? There are a few things that petrify me or just grate on me. Yes, I'm scared of some things. At the end of the day, I'm human, I wouldn't class you as a human being if you said you weren't scared of anything. Let's face it, we're all afraid of something, no matter how big or small that fear is.
Here are the things that I openly admit to being scared of:
LORRIES
NEEDLES
SPIDERS
BROOMSTICK ON CONCRETE
CYSTIC FIBROSIS
What are the things that you're afraid of?

Anyway, it made me feel good that people took the time to say something nice to me, it brightened me up for the rest of my day.
This got me thinking - it doesn’t take more than five seconds to say something thoughtful and kind to someone, so what stops us from doing that? I mean, it can be a bit weird to just go up to a random stranger and compliment them on their hair or their parking skills in the multi-storey. But it doesn't hurt to give kind remarks to your loved ones. It’s something that we should do more often. It perked up my day having something pleasant said to me about my appearance, it even makes me feel good to say something good-natured to someone else to make their day.
