Natalie told me the other day that I was getting too grey and I needed to dye my hair.  I was concerned that her thoughts were coming from people telling her gray wasn't pretty so I asked her what was wrong with being gray.  She said it meant I was getting old and when you get old you die and she didn't want me to die.  We talked and cuddled a bit but it got me thinking.  I am actually lucky to be going gray.  Too many people have their lives cut short and never have the privilege of growing old.  Going gray is just another reminder that I am still here and get to live each day to the fullest.  So I think for now I will be proud of my gray, my stretch marks and even my dark spots….because I am very thankful that I have been given the opportunity to earn them. #thankfulthursdays #growingolder #bringonretirement #loveyourself #greyisthenewblonde
