It hasn't occurred to me that I am considered old! Yes, OLD!! When the heck did that happen?? Recently, I have been mistaken for my young friends mother. My friend, AJ, is 32. I guess I could be her biological parent. We don't really look alike. Except,,,,,I have white hair. Tactless people ask if I am AJ's mother. My friends all think it is hysterical!! Of course they think it's funny! They are all in their 30's. I will be 49. Still young, in my thinking.
This morning I spoke at a church Bible study about an outreach I am involved in. As I drove out of the parking lot, I thought about how sweet those "blue haired ladies" are. One blue hair gave me some money for our outreach. Oh, those blue hairs are just the nicest ladies! I smiled to myself. Then, I saw myself in the rear view mirror. Oh my gosh!!! I AM one of those sweet old blue hairs!!!
My husband thinks I should go back to the unnatural color of red. I don't like coloring my hair. I feel it is a waste of my time and his money. I can think of better ways to spend $60!! I actually enjoy my white hair. I like that I can wear vibrant lipstick. (Bright lipstick is one way to spend $60!) This is how God made me. To be prematurely gray. I am happy with this season of life. I just wish other people would stop asking me how old I am. I am the age I need to be! Thank you God, for having me at the place I need to be!
