A Milestone

I think I found a gray hair last weekend.

My response? A huge grin on my face. Right after my announcement, Elise said, "Boy Mom, you sure seem happy about it." I guess I am happy about it. In fact, I'm downright proud of myself, though I can't think exactly why. It's not like I made that hair grow that way. Maybe I'm seeing it as a badge of honor, heralding the emergence of an older, wiser (ha ha!) me.

You know, I like my gray hair, too, that pokes out even though I highlight my hair every once in awhile. I don't know why. Maybe it IS because I think it is heralding a wiser, more mature time in my life. I like that my gray hair is always strong and and with a mind of its own...like I want to be! :)
