Gray Hair!

Today I found my first gray hair on my head. I was dreading this day. I knew it was coming. Everyone I know who is about my age has a stray one here or there. I was proud to say I had not reached that point yet. Sure I'm balding and have some wrinkles showing up, but that elusive gray hair never made an appearance.

Not anymore.

As I stood in front of the mirror, I noticed something shimmering in the light on the left side of my head. I looked closer, and sure enough, there it was. Gray hair. Actually, it was just about pure white.

So I of course immediately plucked it from my head with tweezers. I stared at it in awe within the grips of the tweezer. I have not dealt with aging well. This was just another nail in the coffin.

I haven't been exercising like I should. I have three kids that keep me very busy. My job is pretty stressful. It's kind of hard to believe it has taken this long for a gray hair to appear. So my evening is ruined. As I sit here typing this, I long for the younger days. And I'm only 33. What is it going to be like in a few years or at 40? I don't even want to know.

Welcome!

This blog is just getting started!

Why did I create this blog? I am a chronic complainer. I admit it. I just think I have bad luck. While I also admit that I have a good life, I can't help but see all the crap that is always present in my life. Why is life so darn hard?

So please. Commiserate with me. Misery loves company. Sharing is therapeutic. Let's talk about all the bad things that we have to put up with in this life. Let's also talk about how we can deal with it!
