Tonight is All Hallow's Eve. Now it is the time to think about giving thanks and it all starts tomorrow with All Saints Day and saying thank you to all who have gone before.

We all hope to be bountiful in what we do in our lives no matter what we choose. It's time to put away the scary and bring out the joy of harvest time and to help others in need and give thanks for surviving tonight.

The Dream We Can't Wake Up From
I remember leaving the theater after seeing Inception feeling like my mind had been put through a workout, but in the best way possible. On the surface, it's this incredibly smart and thrilling heist movie that just happens to take place inside the most fascinating dreams. The visuals are stunning cities folding over on themselves, zero-gravity fights in a spinning hallway—it’s the kind of spectacle that makes you remember why you love going to the movies.

Looking at Old Photos
Going through many old photographs from my parents' younger days through my childhood of the 1960's and 1970's. There are black and white ones as well as those color ones with all the 'red' eyes. There were tears and smiles with more smiles than tears. As I found out my mom saved all those school pictures (individual and class). I began looking at these and wondered whatever happened to most of them especially from elementary school. I know some moved but believe it or not I found a few on social media and now are 'friends' once again. Happy memories.

Review of Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Cat noir
This is a 2015 series with seven seasons that has a very interesting plot. In short, two teenagers are chosen to be superheroes in Paris. The thing is, the girl likes the boy when he's not a superhero, and the boy likes the girl when he is. Honestly, it's a good and very entertaining story.

The Man on Fire: A Story of Love, Sacrifice and Redemption
The Man on Fire, released in 2004 by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington, is much more than just an action film. It is a poignant dive into the twists and turns of the human soul, where violence mixes with raw emotion and redemption takes shape in the simplest gestures. But at the heart of this gripping thriller, what stands out above all is the unique relationship that develops between bodyguard Creasy and young Pita, a kidnapped girl.
