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.
