Anne, Anne, Anne. Under all this gray is blond! I used to dye my hair but not because I wanted to be blond. I just did not want to be gray AT ALL and I have had gray hair in my blond since I was about 25. It was not bad but after I got sick the first time in 1996, the infection took such a toll that I was almost completely gray in a matter of about 3 months. Turns out some of the drugs can do that. So, yes I started using Nice 'N Easy. Then when I got sick in 2005, I simply stopped dying my hair. There is still blond in there but, well, it is so hard to tell! But Yes, I am a true blond. Just one with old hair!
And I am so happy putting this out there helped some realize that there are always new beginnings. Plain and simple. Look how many others have done it! Timing is everything and when I realized that I needed to do something else at the moment and that it was far more important to do that, I forgave myself and well, I was not dead! It did not and will not kill me. And if my passion is still there, I will continue to feed it. Now there is the true meaning. Will I or won't I?
We will see. I am attending our monthly meeting next week but I am also working alone all this week and part of next week as Mary's brother passed away. So she and her family need to do some legal stuff and that fun stuff. It will take time. Plus she has a chemo treatment next week and an MRI tomorrow to see what the lung cancer is doing. All that and the visitation is tomorrow and the funeral is Tuesday.
And I am also getting ready to take my insurance agents exam. WHOA! But anyway, I will figure it out.
