Track??, I am not in a race, enjoy like there is no tomorrow, for it is not promised, All the plans of mice and men. Their was a time when I thought that with money and prestige I would find the happiness I sought, only when I got their, that which I sought was not even in sight, for me it took almost losing my life that I found what being happy meant to me. It is very difficult to live in a world that makes money and prestige the cherry of success and happiness, for me it is all the small insignificant things that make up my day to day life. The major things for me are a places to rest, things to eat and protection from the elements, finding happiness was then a matter of saying that I'm happy and being content with what I have. I have a few friends that are very money wealthy and that mansion they live in, well it is just a house, the luxurious vehicle is just the car they drive, domestic help is just someone they employ to do the the chores of living. I for the most part get more enjoyment from doing for myself than them paying someone to do for them. They are so afraid that someone is looking to take that money from them, as I'm sure we all would be if we made our lives about money and prestige, so they spend their lives looking over their wealth. Oh, I'm sure they can purchase things that I can't, but I have that which can't be purchased, I have satisfaction in what I have and have not is mine alone. So when the easy days are here I enjoy them and when the hard days come around I enjoy the memories of the good days knowing that today is just a day and if for me tomorrow doesn't come for me, I like all life will not know about it for I will not be here, I will have gone to the promised land where all is grand.

I don't have a "track" to stay on. I buy myself candy all year long, so halloween is no different. I can usually hold myself back from eating more than 2 little candy bars at one sitting. But, I say "Go for it!" It's not just a holiday for kids!
