Hair-riffic

Okay, so people are slowly starting to notice my new 'do' and comment....which makes me feel wonderful. I think was so used to the bank when co-workers would notice and comment to me daily. At my new career, the people are less interested in my 'looks' and more interested in my teaching abilities.....crazy!!!! I work at a school....who would imagine?!?!?!?!?! Actually, it makes me feel fabulous to have people appreciate me for my brains and not just my hot bod....hehehe

At any rate, I have received some much needed positive feedback from my students, from an adorable woman who works in the executive office, and from my sorority sisters last night. Everyone needs that little ego boost now and again.

I know, I should not be so vain, but my hair has always been an important aspect of my appearance, so I strive to always look nice and keep my locks maintained. I have felt guilty recently though. My best gal pal has gone through some life changing events recently as her 4-year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia over the summer. After watching mother and daughter go through the trials and tribulations of chemo, I have realized the truly important things in life....and my hair is not one of them. Especially as you watch the thinning hair of a gorgeous 4-year old and see her spirit shine as she talks about wearing fun hats. She has been blessed and did not loose all of her hair. However, she would be beautiful with or without her long wavy locks.

My point being....family and friendships and love and security from those relationships are the most important things in life.
