When I turned 49 and was lamenting that next year I would be 50, I had only to think of my older sister who died at 48 and decide that I would try to embrace getting older. Both parents were slow to gray and slow to wrinkle, so I might "hold up well" for a long time. But eventually … and when that day comes, I plan to embrace it!

I've never colored my hair...part afraid to after watching my mom do it while I was growing up (drips and messy at-home coloring!) then part not wanting to keep up with it. And so I don't...and you know what, in one week 3 people said, "I love your hair!" There's a touch of gray, but I'm okay with that. Your hair is lovely...don't worry one bit! It looks like there are so many blessings to enjoy, fretting over hair shouldn't step in the way!Mary, Windy Meadows Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601966760653278126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-20761367438873840782018-11-20T09:50:41.235-07:002018-11-20T09:50:41.235-07:00I hope you have a wonderful birthday and a happy T...I hope you have a wonderful birthday and a happy Thanksgiving!

My last son (fourth one) got married in Jamaica last November - seeing this reminded me of the nice time we had there and his beautiful ceremony. He was the last hold out - and didn't marry until 32.

I love my hair, and decided to never dye it again and then my husband's high school reunion came along. I am 6.5 years older than him so I decided to dye my hair. I didn't want to look like the old woman in the crowd. I got there and the room was filled with grey haired women, LOL. I felt so silly. I believe that grey hair helps to soften our faces as we grow older. Much like the soft focus lens on a camera. God planned it that way . . . my oldest granddaughter (12 years) keeps telling be that my hair is not grey but silver and she wants to have hair just like mine when she is my age. What a sweetheart :) <br />The photos of you and your husband are beautiful; my favorite is the one of the two of you kissing out where the carriage was. <br />Wishing you a very Happy Birthday . . . there are so many amazing years ahead and you will find that your marriage grows even sweeter with age. Isn't it wonderful to be married to someone that loves you inside and out :)<br />Connie :)<br />Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-41961756772726748122018-11-18T15:16:59.307-07:002018-11-18T15:16:59.307-07:00Happy Birthday!!!
