Well it's happened...I celebrated my 32nd Birthday in August and the gray hair have come out like an entire marching band. I remember driving to work and finding my first gray hair on my 21st birthday. I remember wondering if that was the beginning of the end. I pulled it out as quick as I found it and surprisingly it didn't come back for quite some time.
But now that I am 32 it's like that day, that very day, the flood gates opened and the gray came pouring into my veins. I hate to admit that I spend my time and Luke's time in front of the mirror plucking the hairs out with tweezers. If I can't reach it, Luke can! I see them on other woman and I think that it's very beautiful to see those natural highlight through out their hair. But today before church as I plucked out about 4 ....it was like a dream. This was happening to me and it's REAL!
Well, I have decided this is the year of surrendering! I must surrender to the fact (in my own brain) that gray is in. I must also surrender to the fact that the hips, butt and arms will never be the same as they use to. I suppose I have to surrender to the fact that I have to get my sleep in order to function the next day. And finally I will have pleasure in surrendering to the fact that I may be getting older, but tomorrow is still new to me!
PS Heidi, thanks for the cake pic.
