Conditioner

All I can say is that it’s absolutely amazing the emotions and feelings that flood into my body when I hear, smell or see certain things. It happens to everyone but sometimes its so weird. The smallest thing can trigger such DEEP emotion within me! And this afternoon I had one of those moments.

We are OUT of shampoo and conditioner (I know, sad right, grocery shopping is hardIMG_4099 to do with a cast, darnit) but luckily I had stashed my “good” stuff (Matrixx sleek and shine) away once I lost my hair. Its been sitting in our bathroom cupboard for 2 years now! Well I pulled it out this morning…and once I had it in my hair I just started to cry….the smell just brought back feelings…not just sad feelings related to my long straight hair that I miss so much but happy times too. I don’t really know how to explain it, but it just made me sad….and then I started to laugh! haha I was crying over CONDITIONER…for the Love of God…I need to get a grip!

So today I tried to blow dry and straighten this curly mop of hair that I have. I was a little happier than last time I tried (back in June)…but its still not “my” hair. I’m slowly but surely getting over the fact that those days are gone and probably will never return!

But this is how my hair turned out today…

  1. But it is YOUR hair my friend...just a different version of what was. For those of us that didn't know you back when, it doesn't make a difference. I rather love your curly hair...and I rather love this picture of you from today too. That's a jolly smile.....live in it....honor that hair....and let me know when you want my daughter Hannah to come and press it for you. She will make you look even more AMAZING than you already do. :) :)
