A New Day, A New Hair Color

So its Thursday night. I'm almost through my week and the holidays are upon us. So in honor of all the slowing down in my life this week....I had a burst of random inspiration. The inspiration.....was to color my hair.

Yes. I did. I colored it. By myself. And it actually turned out well. I went a little bit darker than my natural color and now I have a light brown color with a tint of red to it. And I like it. No pictures yet, but I will post when I have some.

But I thought I'd share the news. I dont know what caused me to do it. About a week ago I was saying to myself how I needed to lighten my hair because it had been so long since I'd done that. Then I started getting compliments about how my hair was looking darker and everyone really liked it. So I thought I'd add a little bit of warmth to it and give it a boost. So I have. And now time will tell whether I really like it or if this was just whim.

Post your thoughts. :-)

Friendships

I received this from my Aunt Marty today and thought that it was worth posting it here. I find it very fitting at this point in my life. Its definitely been a time where I have learned the value of friendship, and that some people will stick around and others will fade away. Those that stay with us remain because they are supposed to be there....and those that fade into the past are those that came in and taught us something we were meant to learn, but may have no place in our future.....



People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
