I found my first gray hair, and look, it's in the shape of the letter "J"! hahahaha! I deserve it though because I am not kidding, last week I was gloating in my mind at how cool I was that I had not one gray hair on my head. Serves me right. I am getting paid back so bad. This little strand of hair is practically EVIL. It's all wiry and thick. It is so disgusting!
I parted my hair on a different side and was looking at my roots that are a couple shades darker than the rest of my hair, and are about 2 inches in length, when I discovered this bad boy. I was not happy.
It all makes me think of life. Everyone is getting older and now I am too, according to my hair. Why am I so surprised? This is just too weird. Reality has hit me, with a gray hair no less.
I really thought I was going to defy all the odds and not have ANY gray hair until I was at least as old as my big sis, Tracy!
I am coming to terms with it though, just like I have had to come to terms with other body parts that don't look like they once did. A good friend inspired me to be at peace with my body. I guess I am slowly making that transition, one gray hair at a time.

I, too, am having those feelings of, "what the heck is happening to my body?" After Luke, I am so much weaker. It feels as though all muscle tone is gone. And I wonder where the girl in my wedding pictures went. But it's okay, because you will still be beautiful with gray hair!
Embrace 'em girl, cuz they ain't goin' away!
When I got my hair done a couple weeks ago, my sister found my first gray hair too!! My grandma, who is in her late 80's, only started to go gray just a few years ago, like maybe 5 years ago. I guess I didn't get her genes for that, bummer. We can wallow in our misery together!!;)
That's ok, Mom. You still look great to me!
