The Story

I got my hair done last Fri ( long overdue ! )

& after patiently sitting down for more than 3 hours ,

I walked out of the hair salon with

some new red highlights on a purplish red base color ,

with a classic chinadoll bob .

These days I am making it a point to do self portraits

on good hair days & so, here's one result .

I also found this wonderful poem on a Female perspective of Aging

& couldn't resist using parts of it

to journal with .

A Woman of My Age

(By Theresa S)
They say...
A woman of my age should not let her hair
Fall below the marks of her shoulder.
It will bring the face down
And make her look older.

But I say...
A woman of my age
Should let her hair grow.
When it gets too long
I think she will know

A woman of my age
Is secure and finally sure of herself.
She doesn't long to be nineteen,
But neither is she ready for the shelf.
