i spent thirteen hours with my family.
unusual for me.
it was actually very enjoyable.
an excellent way to spend a rainy sunday.
i am blessed.
i realized this morning
[as i used a hand mirror to see the back of my head]
just how much grey i actually have.
it is like stripes of grey highlights--
not just a strand here and there--
it is spreading like wild flowers.
[yes, wild flowers, not weeds]
i am not afraid of grey hair.
i have had grey hair since i was 8.
[mother can attest to this as she is the one who found it out]
my grandmother, whose hair was the same color as mine,
was completely grey before 40.
i have come to peace with the fact that i will be a young grey haired lady.
but, somehow seeing it today was a little shocking...
i suppose it is because i don't often see my head from that point of view.
it kind of excited me really..
i've been wondering when the grey would show itself.
speak up.
step out.
it makes me feel wiser....or....something.
and no, it doesn't make me want to run out and buy a bottle of hair dye.
why not be happy with the natural state of things?
god gave me beautiful red hair,
and now he's allowing me to see it change into a lovely grey.
i'm honestly kind of thrilled to watch the change...
in other news.....i made the best french toast today for lunch.
