It’s been almost a year since I last sat in this chair. I have dreaded this moment. But ever since this thing has grown out of proportions, I have actually been looking forward to this moment. I’m wondering if it will hurt, if I will feel different after the cut down moment.

The person standing behind me is getting ready, putting the metal tools on the table. Should I feel nervous?
“Are you ready?” A sweet and understanding voice, does not keep me from hesitating. I then nod my head, unable to find my voice.

See how the person behinds me takes the tools and comes closer to me. I doubt if I made a sane and correct decision. I can’t, I …

shut my eyes. The sound of cutting, a tug at my head, a feeling of being freed of a terrible weight.
“It’s done!” The voice coming from behind me sounds happy, uplifting.

I open my eyes, scared and curious at the same time. Just in time to see the person behind me put the thing, she cut down in a big brown envelope.
I … look… different.

The mirror shows my hair is cut short for the first time in 18 years. The braided and cut hair in the envelope is send to Think Pink. I feel sorrow but am proud of myself! I’ve finally done something I always wanted to do! Donate my hair, to make wigs for people affected by cancer. I just have to find a way being happy looking at this new face in the mirror!

I know right – total hypocrite! lol. aww on life support – that makes it sound awful – I kind of wish we could replant them after. I might when we have a garden, plant an evergreen and put lights on that every year so we don’t have to cut one down.

I know what you mean about holding back the reigns – I am chronically afflicted with the disease of starting multiple projects!

In reply to Sacha Black. I am learning more and more to trust my gut. It doesn't always make sense at the time but in the long term it usually comes out trumps xx Rowena
