| Much silver starting to show ... |
The date of my next appointment has come and gone. I cancelled it early, knowing it would be tough to reschedule, thinking that it would be an incentive NOT to rebook. So here I am ... 7 weeks less a day since my last colouring.
Is there a lesson in these last 7 weeks? Yes ... I am impatient. A head full of grey still seems a long way off, and it feels like someone else is doing this experiment. While I know this picture is me, in my office, (and I took it), it somehow feels like someone else.
Just hair ... it is just hair. I know that. I also know that for decades I have spent more time, money and energy on my hair than any other aspect of my physicality.
But I've liked these last 7 weeks. I've watched my silver sparkle in the Ontario spring sunlight. My son has oohed and aahhed at the appropriate times. And I feel freer ... already.
