Off With Her Hair!

This just might be the strangest post I have ever written.  It is about my hair.... Ever since I was a little girl I have hated my hair. My hair has been curly and unruly. Always needed a lot of "doing".  Thank goodness for good product. I have been able to manage my hair but it has always been a issue for me. Go to the gym... Go to the beach.... Oh no it is raining, or foggy.... The wind is blowing... Can I just say it... Crap...

Hats are not my thing. I wish I was like my friend Kolleen. Man oh man can this girl wear hats!  When I try and wear a hat I usually end up with a headache.

OK, so back to my hair drama.

I'm not that girl anymore that wants to spend a hour on my hair every time I wash it.

I'm not that girl that wants to lug around a "hair suitcase" every where I travel.

I'm the girl that wants to travel light...

The thing that I am struggling with IS... People love my hair.. I get compliments all the time on my hair.... So what I have just done... I know that people will not get it.  I have cut it all off... not shaved but - cut it boy short.  I know it is not as cute, sexy,  as is was yesterday... I know people will not like the way it looks....  Actually I'm not sure if I like the way it looks.... My ageing face is totally out there for all to see.... No hiding with this short hair!

That is hard...

I just had the need to explain myself.... The hair is short.

Michael said to me - on this day one - of shortness... "You look sparkly" .........

That is just what I needed to hear today.

Do I love the way it looks?  Not yet.

Do I love the way it feels when I am not looking in the mirror.

Yes I do...

For a while I am staying away from the mirror... And enjoying the feeling of being who I am on the inside.... Outside.

Come to think of it... I am feeling a bit SPARKLY this morning.

Hope you are too!
