So here we are at another Valentine's Day. Some of my single friends refer to it as Single Awareness Day, or by it's more popular acronym, SAD. And I admit there have been times when I've gone along with that thinking. But not this year. This year, I just don't feel like thinking that way. I mean, how can a day dedicated to good chocolate be sad?
I was reminded of this yesterday by one of my former young women, a Single Young Adult, who posted to Facebook and encouraged all her friends to think of today not as SAD and a day to be dreaded, but a day to go about doing good, to be grateful for our blessings, and to share faith, hope and charity with those around us. And really when you think of it, I'm pretty sure that's how the Lord himself would like us to celebrate. So in the spirit of that remark, and in honor of St. Valentine, who today we celebrate for doing just that, I wish you all love, joy, hope, and a most Happy Valentine's Day!
For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time
