COT:
October is spelled similarly to Octopus. Googling one can take you down the curiosity path of the other. Sy Montgomery is an naturalist who tends to speak on Octopus. The octopus is really cool creature. And October 8th is World Octopus Day! Not national but world. So, it’s a big deal and kind of fits in the whole October original thought process.

Anyways, Sy has this quote: “I think all animals have souls. I feel certain that if we have souls, octopuses have souls, too. If you grant something a soul, it demands a certain level of sacredness. Look around us. The world is holy. It is full of souls.”

The move to fall/October has me thinking about holidays/football/Cubs playoffs/etc. And because of the constant interaction with my father and family while dealing with my father’s skin cancer and congestive heart failure, football is a popular topic. And my family is upset with the Chicago Bears. Cubs too. At first I believed that stress and non football issues played a roll in my anger and frustration towards my favorite franchise. But then I realized that I’ve always been like this. Not sure why? However, the thought expressed above by Sy helps. Remember, that those that anger you or disappoint you to a point of fury or action (throwing a remote, for example) have souls. Are part of a holy world. For me, this simple thought lessons my emotional extreme. It may help you too.

COT: In a book by Brene Brown, she tells a story about a time when she traveled a lot and her husband was at home many weekends alone handling the kids. One weekend while she was home, the got in a big fight and her husband said weekends were a lot easier when she wasn’t home. After the dust settled, they talked about that, and it turned out that when they were both home, they both had expectations for getting something (work, chores, whatever) done whereas when it was just him, he had no expectations for the weekend because he knew his full attention would be on handling the kids. I learned from that story and now my wife and I talk each Friday about what we each need from the weekend. Maybe it’s a family outing, or some alone time, or space to catch up on work, or whatever and we work together to ensure all the needs of the family are met that weekend. I’m sure it’s saved us from meeting fights and a lot of frustration!
