Invisible

I've been blessed (I'll just say blessed) with shiny gray hair. On more than one occasion people have told me that, "you have such nice looking hair and if it weren't for L'Oreal I'd have the same color". Naturally my response is, "why not let yours go?" The typical response I get is, "oh no, I could never let myself go gray..........it looks sooooo much better on you." Hmmmmm.

I started going gray in my 30's (you'll have to guess how long ago that was). It was then that I discovered that graying hair is a progressive loss of pigment, not only in the hair but in the skin as well. Since then I've noticed that as the years go by I'm slowly fading. It's only a matter of time before you can see completely through me. Of course, the people closest to me can already see through me.

Creepy photo, but your musings got me laughing out loud.
BTW, I'm almost 54, never colored my hair and not a gray hair to be seen on my head...but "it looks soooo good on you"!

I like it, mostly because you look like my dad when we go out and it makes me feel young. :)
