his morning I checked on a local photographer’s nature cam video post on Facebook. A super start to the day with 5 fledgling Kingfisher’s sitting in front of the camera on a branch across a stream. What a perfect start to the day……..until….
The next clip (which played automatically) tells me that women with grey hair have ‘let themselves go’ they are ‘scruffy’, ‘will lose their jobs because of their appearance’ and *exact wording* ‘are flawed’. Well I was certainly floored when I read this. Apparently women with grey hair look 20 years older and are very unattractive. Women should dye their hair until the day they die was the gist of the video, or risk looking dead already.
This was a mood wrecker for sure.
How can grey hair be a ‘flaw’? It’s totally natural. It’s nature’s way of telling us we’ve seen many sunrises and sunsets. That we’ve laughed, lived and loved. That we’ve cried, fought battles and many (rather too many sometimes) crisis.
Silver hair doesn’t age me, it’s given me magical powers. The first and most important one being the ‘I don’t give a f**k’ power!
You wanna know what ages us? Attitude and our sense of adventure and fun. Remain inquisitive, never stop learning. Find something to smile and laugh about every day. If you are having a bad day, remember laugh out loud moments and make plans for more, arranging dates with friends and family. Also visit the kid’s playground after dark – so much fun to be had on the zip wire and swings!
I feel completely liberated from the chore of hair colouring. I only wish I had embraced my sparkles sooner.
Is anyone thinking about setting their sparkles free?
Dye or no dye – do what makes you happy!
