The title of my blog came from my lifelong love/hate relationship with my naturally curly hair. I have noticed that once I started working with it instead of against it I appreciated it more all the time. I have tried to take that same attitude with everything else in my life as well. Even more so since mom passed away in 2006 and I turned 40 in 2010.
With mom's birthday being yesterday I am reminded again of how fragile life is and how blessed I am that it doesn't bother me to get older. I see my mother's hands now when I look at my own. I giggle every time I use the air blade hand dryer at Costco in the bathroom and watch the skin on the back of my hands dance. I am blessed with so many things in my life that could be gone tomorrow. I am hoping to write a little about it on this blog so that on the rough days I can look back and remember how great it is to be curly.
oh what an awesome blog .. any time I read someone's blog I always feel like I am looking at their journal and almost feel like I should be sneaky! Making me think to at times at how I should do something like this but I don't want to start then stop ... letting myself down yet again. Maybe I should go with your "curls" ... Thank you for sharing!
