Soon it will have to be either all dark or all blonde. I am at that stage of grey hair that is kinky, though, mine is straight, wiry, and makes me want to faint. My body has gone south with my Dad's genes. So that girl you once knew, looks like a Bubbie (grandmom in yiddish). Actually, I had my freinds little girl over the other day to swim. She is 3 going on 15 and I am 56 going on 76. I felt like her Grandmom, NOT only could I not keep up with her due to my fat azz, she was simply alive with spirit. I, felt like a dowdy, old bag. Inside this voice says to me, "You are still here", but when I look at myself, its a visual death. I did not go the route of hormonal replacement, maybe a hugeeeee mistake. No, I listened and took anti-depressants and synthroid for an under active thryoid. So, as I sit here and sip my coffee and smile at your blog, I do not feel so bad. This is the absolute worst, but were we not the generation of Guru's and the Inner Self, no vanity??? Bullshit.... Time to spill the beans, Carine!!!

Hallelujah. Not experiencing "gray pussy puffs" but when you put it THAT way... All through my 49th year I was loving my gray hair. Thought it had some kind of cache that allowed me certain priveledges. I am not sure what happened on the day I turned 50 this past summer, but suddenly I was headed to the salon and never looked back. I love admiring the roots as the try to return, cautiously asking me to remember my wisdom as I pick up the phone and call Michelle for an appointment. Thanks for this sisterhood that I so need!

It seems particularly ironic to me that while we're turning gray, dealing with wrinkles and worse, someone in charge decided that making gray hairs wild, coarse and hungry for attention made sense. You are absolutely right, they are like crazy wild pubic hairs. What is the deal?? On the other hand, perhaps it is a blessing that while the gray hairs, chin hairs, wrinkles and worse are happening to us, our close in eye sight goes fuzzy. Maybe that's the universe's perverse way of making it up to us?? What a sense of humor. Ha ha. :) Yes, well.
