My Crowing Glory is Turning Gray

I looked in the mirror just I always do in the morning. I always look in the mirror especially this part of the year when the weather is chilly and when the temperature dives to freezing point. I always look in the mirror to check on my face for possible breakouts or dry spots. My skin is not compatible to cold weather here in Maine. It is always dehydrated and flaky. That is why I need to get artificial help from my handy jars and bottles of moisturizer and body lotion to rehydrate my skin.

This morning I looked in the mirror and I freaked out. I know it is there. It is always there even when I was still in the Philippines. I am very much aware of its presence and there were times that I will make a drastic move to get rid of it. I would succeed but eventually after sometime it will be back… with vengeance!

This morning I looked in the mirror and to my horror, it is not alone. Now there are two of them sticking out so proudly side by side. But wait… there are more on the other side too. Yes, more on the other side and they are more prominent.

This morning I looked in the mirror and I have to accept the fact that my hair is turning gray. There is not much I can do now but to think of a nice shade of color that will match the shade of my eyes. I’m gonna have my hair dyed.
