Aging is more than the hair, and a lot of people who are dying their hair actually look older because the color is unnatural, or it doesn't go well with the skin tone. Keep your hair extra clean and get a good haircut, and don't worry about it!

I ache to change things about me... let my hair go white/or whatever color it truly is. After 25 years of coloring - and within the last few years coloring every few weeks, I believe it is the right thing for me to do and it is time. I work so that job will become an issue. Of this I am sure. It is a young sort of "hip" place and I never feel like a senior citizen but going "natural" will very much change the playing field here. I see their reaction to older people who come into our building and I dread this decision to change on the one hand and then feel very empowered on the other. That will be 2010 for me I am sure. Also - I have had this job for 9 1/2 years, I know it, I am used to it, lately I have personally begun to pick up some bad working habits, such as cutting corners that I never used to, not feeling the "importance of doing a project", coming in late, leaving early. Now some of this could just be a certain nonchalance that I have begun to see creeping into my thoughts, but as much as I am energized with other projects in my life, for me work is not fulfilling as it once was. I could take a few days off, re-direct my ship - but I think it is more than that! The Haiti thing - ohhhhhh gosh that is so very hard to watch! I think that natural disasters are to be expected, what is unexpected is the good graces that come forward. I watched NBC this a.m. before work - I was very heartened to see the US military personnel have now landed. There is something about having a US presence during a disaster that comforts me. When I think of the young people/missionaries/ aid workers who have been in that country working and helping for a while and the test to their character that must be....and then a disaster on top of that? Wow. What trust I continue to have in my fellow human being no matter where they are located. I will continue to pray - because that I can do always. These are character building times, again. The tested are being tested again and again. Money this year - Yes I am saving strongly, not spending. That will be the way 2010 is for me. Resolutions? Every year I hope to be a better person than last year..... Good luck to you Michelle - hope these thoughts helped. Wow – Thanks for your insight – 2010 will be the year that I turn 60.
