Every morning I am reminded that the hair on my head is slowing dropping in numbers. When I look down after I turn off the shower or after I dry my hair the sink, I notice tons of hair just laying there and saying good bye from my head.
I written before about me losing my hair and everyone should know it is something I am insecure about. Do I have a choice? Not really. It is just part of life and my life is not going to include a full head of hair. Sure I can get a wig but do I really want all that drama? NO! So I have learned to accept my fate.
Every morning though, I catch myself mourning the loss when I look down. This week I had to put an end to it. It is a waste of time and it only makes each day worse. You see my perspective is that I am losing my hair and it something to be sad about. Not a great way to start the day. So instead I remind myself I still have my great smile.
It is a much greater start to the day in a perspective of gratitude instead of loss. Anytime I find myself wanting to be sad about it, I look in the mirror and smile. I remind myself that I am grateful to be able to smile, be happy and enjoy my white teeth.
I am not going to waste my time thinking about what is gone but spend my time thinking about what I have.

I’ve been there. Then one day about a year ago I decided to buzz it off. They’re smaller so I don’t even notice them anymore and it helps camouflage the gray’s.

There is so much more to worry about in life, don’t give it another thought! Haven’t you ever heard that bald is beautiful! I know you are not there yet and may never be, but you are beautiful nonetheless!

I have learned to accept my fate and realize that worrying about my missing hair follicles will just cause the rest to fall out even faster! :-/
I am pretty excited to have some gray hair since I never expected to have enough hair to turn gray!
Michael- you have so much going for you, and know that your hair or lack of hair doesn’t change who you are. You have so much to offer. Your beauty comes from the inside.
I love and appreciate you so much.
Thanks for this posting!
