My friends and family know I'm somewhat "artistic"-- my words, not theirs.  It's little surprise when I change my hair color or hair style.  This time, however, the highlights I tried to place in my short, brown hair transformed my locks into something akin to a peacock!  I looked like my parakeet, Piccolo!  It seems like someone threw spotches of gold on top of my head! 


I like change, but some changes don't sit well with me.  Years ago, too many chemicals took all my hair out!  It came out in clumps and I had not choice but to have it all cut off to the quick.  I wore a wig about a month, then I threw it away.  It was a sassy do I sported for a while.  It turned out, I was the only person who had to accept the change.  Once I got used to it, I was fine. 


Sudden shifts (the ones I can and cannot control) throw me for a loop.   Arguements, my parents becoming ill, job challenges, starting college, empty nest stuff, a pet dying, all rocked my boat.  Time is a healer, because after the tears of frustration and disbelief,  I accepted all these things and eventually adapted.   Health challenges meant I need to care for myself better.  Losing a friend during a point of growth meant he (or she) needed more attention than I could give. Some changes hurt, but some are necessary for growth.  Opening my mind to positive thinking helps me a lot during transitions


As for my hair?  I picked up a neutral dark blonde and the color's toned down some.  After all these years, leaving my natural color alone is one thing I can't seem to change!


May any changes you have be positve ones!
