November 9

I hadn't had my hair done in over a year, but thanks to a nudge from my marvelous hair gal and a growing unspoken concern that I was beginning to resemble Medusa, I went in to tame the locks today.

And now I feel pretty fabulous. Ridiculous photo (I took it to send to Abby) and the increasing population of grays aside, it's so nice to feel put together again.

I've never been one to bang the self-care drum, but I do think it's important to take time to rest. So for those restful moments in the chair, the conversation with my gal while I was at the salon, and of course the cleaned-up 'do, I am grateful.
