The philosophical idea below is one that impacted my life greatly. For years, I felt sorry for myself for what I did not have and what I felt I lost. Then I began to realize how much I DID have, and that there are those who have so much less than me, or have suffered losses so much greater than mine. It was then that my life turned around. ---JMV

You Put the Rum in the Coconut...
I tried a
new shampoo. It contains coconut something-or-another that's supposed to make my
hair look as full and luscious as the flowing locks flung in slow motion by the
models in the TV commercials.
I washed my
hair and blew it dry. I don't notice any more lusciousness from when I used my
husband's dandruff shampoo, yesterday.
Although... while
I was blow-drying my hair, I did find myself craving a pina colada.

Idiosyncrasies
It's
rather strange, but for me very true....
I cannot concentrate,
nor can I be productive when my hair needs to be washed. I've tried ignoring
the nagging thought, telling myself it doesn't matter. But like a lone cricket
chirping in the dead of a sleepless night, my brain ticks away at me,
"Wash it. Wash it."
Everyone has their special weirdness, clean hair is mine.

It All Evens Out in the End
Bert, a girlfriend from
grade school growled repeatedly about her midnight black hair. It was so thick
that her hairbrush could literally get stuck in it. I'd watch in awe as she sometimes
struggled to get the brush pulled through it. She hated that her hair could
only be worn short.
Conversely,
I lived with baby fine locks, and not many of them at that. All through our
school years together, Bert envied me for having long, manageable hair that
could be transformed into anything I wanted.
Fast
forward to "looking at 60" where women lose hair with age, just like
men. When one didn't have much to start with, losing half isn't a happy
prospect. As I struggle to make my little patch of hair look like something, I remember
long-lost Bert and have to wonder if her
hair's density has diminished, also. If it is, then finally, she is finding
great delight in being able to style it anyway she'd like, and I am counting
the hairs in my brush, hoping no more come out.
Conclusion:
1) Maybe it appears that someone has it better than you, but
give it time, it all evens out in the end.

Hi Folks!
My brain is moving in a new direction.... I'm thinking maybe I can post something here once or twice a week. It'll be a bit different from what I was doing.... it's all still in the works.
I'll notify you when I get my thoughts organized and get moving on it!
Happy 2013 to all! I wish you peace, contentment, love, and laughter. Without those, all the rest is immaterial. Whatever challenges you may meet, may you have the strength, courage, and support to see them through!
