Reflections 2/27/2020: When I woke up this morning I actually recognized myself in the mirror! Still a bit scary, but definitely me! Plastic wrinkles melted into legitimate skin! Sagging cheeks taking on a touch of muscle tone! Yayyyyy!!! What this means though is that I am now ready for the next step. The hacking of my hair. Couldn’t bear to do that while my face was still in ugly mode… (sorry that some vanity has survived this whole ordeal… I guess the loss of hair will finish that off!) Given my coiffure stuckness in the 80’s for the past 40 years, this could actually be a serendipitous discovery! Maybe I could be a cute Peter Pan! Or an exotic Charlize Theron! Hmmm… now I am intrigued! Since I have no choice but to cross the Rubicon of baldness, I might as well make the most of it! (May video it… but no promises on actually posting it in public!) WOW. I feel better already about what lies a-head! God, my go-to verse for comfort will be “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”(I Sam. 16:7) I love that You look at my heart! It isn’t always perfect, but sometimes when my words fall short, I still know that You get me! So hair (and vanity), get ready for a much needed overhaul!
