THE (RE)NEW(ED) ME

 


      I'm growing old. I don't mind that because I like sticking around on Planet Earth now that I have a bit of a clue at last as to what my life is all about. The physical aspects of aging are awkward to deal with at times, but I have a deep sense of humor, so I get by with a chuckle. I was bothered, though, about a couple of simple things. My hair is thinner and my eyelashes, being hair, are not as thick as they used to be.

    I have a THING about being real. Being honest with self and others is extremely important to me. I also, though, have a thing about being happy. I was not as happy as I used to be when I looked in the mirror. I decided to do something about that. The picture above is me. I purchased the hair and the eyelashes, so I can say they are mine. I simply didn't grow them on my own. I'm happier once again when I look in the mirror.

    Having now adjusted to the thought of wearing a wig, I am enjoying the freedom of knowing, for $20 or less, I can change my hairstyle and color any time I want! I have two wigs on order right now.

    The only facelift I will get will come from grinning often. I love to laugh. The older I grow, the more I laugh. I've always been a believer in happy endings.
