gray is the new blonde

I saw a photo of myself the other day.  I was sitting a boat - my hair blowing in the wind.  It was a beautiful day - blue, blue sky - water as clear and smooth as glass.  I was with my sister.  We were having a wonderful day together.  I felt just like a little girl.

I am always so surprised when I see a photo of myself.  I expect to see the young, dark-haired girl I always am in my minds eye.  Lately, I see a mature, middle-aged woman with white hair.....still pretty - but in a really grown-up way that always reminds me of my mother (gasp).

I am definitely old enough (53!?) to have white hair -(it all started with the random strand in my early teens) - it's just that I never think of myself as any older than 21.  I don't feel any older really.

This blog is about life, beauty, change.
