Oíche Shamhna ag teannadh linn ach ní bheidh sé cosúil le hOíche Shamhna ar bith eile a bhí againn! Ar an gcéad dul síos, níl na Gaeil ag freastail ar Oireachtas na Gaeilge agus anuas ar sin, níl cead ag na páistí dul ó dhoras go doras le milseáin a fháil nó fiú in ann dul go teach cairde leo le cóisir bheag a bheith acu!
Halloween weekend! But it won’t be like any other Halloween that we have known! And not just because the Irish festival Oireachtas na Samhna isn’t happening; no children knocking at the door expecting sweets when I’ve clearly just forgotten, no going over to anyone’s house, it’s looking like it’ll be fairly grim...or maybe we just need to become more creative and come up with some different ways to celebrate Halloween this year. Tá na hoícheanta ag éirí dorcha agus an aimsir níos fuaire agus níos measa ach airím féin go bhfuil muid cineál ar ais i mí an Mhárta nuair a thosaigh an dianghlasáil ar an gcéad lá riamh. Dúirt cara liom an tseachtain seo go gcaithfidh mé cinnte a dhéanamh go bhfuil mé ag déanamh aclaíochta agus go bhfuil mé ag ithe i gceart agus tá an ceart ar fad aige! Rinne mé dearmad go mbeidh orm iarracht a dhéanamh dul i mbun aclaíochta; rud a tháinig go nádúrtha chugam nuair a d’aimsigh mé routine le linn an chéad dianghlasáil. B’fhéidir go raibh sé níos fusa ansin os rud é go raibh an aimsir níos fearr agus na laethanta níos faide. B’fhéidir. Níl mé cinnte. The evenings are darker and the weather is wetter and colder but I feel a little bit like time has stood still and that we are back in March again when lockdowns started first. My friend told me this week to eat properly and to do exercise and he’s not wrong. I forgot that I would have to make separate time for exercise. Once I got into a routine during the first lockdown exercise was easily included but this time it’s already feeling like a chore. Maybe it’s because of the darker evenings and the colder weather...maybe. But I’m not sure. Chomh maith le hOíche Shamhna le bheith linn an deireadh seachtaine seo beidh an ghealach lán againn freisin! Seo an darna gealach lán an mhí seo agus mar sin an ghealach gorm a thugtar uirthi. This weekend is not only Halloween but it is also the full moon, which is falling on Halloween and it is also the second full moon on October so it is called a blue moon. Mar atá ráite agam sa bhlag seo cheana, cailleadh beirt atá aithne agam orthu le déanaí agus mar sin ní bheidh mé ag déanamh searmanais na Gealaí Láin ar mo leathanach Facebook an uair seo. Ní dhearna mé físeán beo ar Facebook ó shin ach tá mé cinnte go dtiocfaidh mé ar ais chucu, i ndiaidh tamaill ach díreach anois tá mé ag iarraidh a bheith mall agus cineálta liom féin. Beidh mé ag déanamh físeáin bheo sa ghrúpa Facebook Boost Your Skills, Boost Your Brand with Miss Digital Media agus toisc go mbeidh sé i ngrúpa beag a bheidh sé sílim gur tús maith a bheidh ann dom! Ach má tá éinne agaibh ag iarraidh searmanais a dhéanamh duit féin, seo chugaibh nasc go searmanas a rinne mé cúpla mí ó shin; Searmanas Mí Lúnasa. As I have said here before, I lost two people recently so I am not going to be doing a full moon ceremony on my Facebook page this time. My brain hasn’t fully switched back on since the deaths and I am being slow and gently with myself as I learn how to live again normally so I am sure I will be back to Facebook lives but for now, I am taking it easy. That being said, I am doing a live in the Boost Your Skills, Boost Your Brand with Miss Digital Media Facebook group, which I am viewing as a stepping stone to getting back to some sense of normality. But for those of you looking for a ceremony here is a link to a ceremony I did a little while ago: August Full Moon Ceremony. Bainigí sult as Oíche Shamhna agus an ghealach lán agus bí cineálta agus deas leat féin agus muid ar fad ag streachailt leis an méid ar fad atá ag dul ar aghaidh ar fud an domhain! So enjoy your strange and different Halloween and be gentle with yourself as the energy of this full moon passes over us and the craziness and topsy-turvy-ness of the world continues.
