 Do you ever blame your parents for your faults, even when you know that nearly 99.9% of them are your own? When it comes to the physical side of things, however; there are some hereditary components that are passed on to us through genetics. Factoring into this also, are the things we are exposed to before we were even born. Such is the legacy of my hair.
Without getting into all of that here, my hair has always had special needs. Add in menopause, and it really needs all of the care I can give it. When I was going through all of that, my hair went through some strange stages. It has always been rather dry, but for awhile, it even felt coated from all of the sebum produced. It was a really bizarre time. Now that things have settled down, there are some things in my hair care arsenal that I would like to share.

 30 years! That's the number of years my husband and I have been together. I remember turning 30 years of age, and thinking that was a long time. My, how perspective changes.
With regard to relationships, thirty years does seem like a long time anymore. People ask me all the time what it takes to make a relationship work that long, but I don't think there is one easy answer to that. For me, there has been one thing that I pinpointed from a young age that seemed missing in relationships gone bad. I shared this with my husband, Jeff, in the very early stages of our relationship. I love cooking, especially baking. My mom baked all the time too, so I grew up on daily desserts. We worked hard on the farm, so I don’t think it hurt us. That is the problem with a lot of lifestyles today – not enough activity.
Exercise is the great equalizer. Actually, it is my answer to a lot of problems. If I’m in a bad mood, feel tired, anxious or stressed, ugly or fat, etc., then I go exercise. If I overeat, as I did tonight; then I get to put in some time on the treadmill. New Year’s Eve – now that used to be a big night for me in my younger years.
Practically everyone I knew went to hear a band and dance the night away. That’s how I met my husband, Jeff. He was in a band that I had gone to see. Dancing was great exercise for me in those days. Sadly, that was a whole different era, and I think more sedate pastimes have taken over recreation time in people’s lives. Since 2016 is fast approaching, I’ve decided to go outside my comfort zone in many ways and take on a personal challenge that honestly, scares me to death!
I hate New Year’s resolutions, so let’s not call it that. Let’s just say that after all of these years, I am finally going to pay attention to my diet as well as my exercise schedule to see what kind of results I can get with regards to my overall self. Notice I did not say I was going to DIET. I hate diets, and having never been on one would most assuredly fail in any attempts to do so |
