Hair play ... SNIPPETS....

Always wondered why since a small child combing/playing in ...changing my hair around always soothed me and calmed me down... when I stress I always head for the hair ...hmmm.. and that is just what I did this entire stressful weekend when we turned out house all three floors and 4 with the basement upside down and downside up looking for our dwarf ferret Chiquitita who managed to escape from her pen and has not been found since ... despite combing the neighborhood to which we are relatively new she has not shown up and we are about to throw in the towel.... I hope a good Samaritan picked her up and that she is not prey to other animals and I pray she does not turn up dead in between a wall or a couch I am beside myself.  The strange thing is there is no signs of her ...not of her being loose and unattended as she would have ransacked the room or would have gone potty in a corner ... and except for the dryer exhaust which would have given her an escape to the outside (the dryer was moved away from the wall as we had workers in the basement on Friday) I can't possible find where she might have gone.  She would respond to her name, we would hear her bells, she would have come out for treats that I left out for her and water ... nada.. gone ... I am beside myself and my son is going nutz ... our pets are well cared for and are family members ... our little escapists has been pulling these tricks for the years we have had her but this is the first time that she has left with no trace ... SIGH ... I am hoping but it is looking bleak...

SO I hair played ... with two small tracks of extensions in the front and spiking my own upward in the back... I saw this link as I set out to investigate why I love to play in hair especially when my spirit is trouble ... I found a link on Combing Therapy ... no idea if it is true or not but I can relate to several of the benefits...

And this is the result of Hair Play today ... it worked better than stuffing my face or biting my nails ... and it relaxed me A LOT ... still missing my dwarf ferret Chiquitita ... praying for her safe return...

Me before gastric bypass 6 years and 1.5 months ago ... maintaining for LIFE ... LOVING MY JOURNEY!

Another goofy thread... sharing Snippets of my journey ... on my walk away from morbid obesity one day at a time... one choice at a time....

These are SNIPPETS of MY journey .. what ever works for me I just take it, tweak it, perfect it, ignore it, shake it or break it ... . diversity rocks ... hey some can comb it, others can bru**** others can just shake it out and let it dry ... whatever works .. I am pretty certain that for each on thing that may work for one their is an opposing view on the other hand.... As far as I am concerned I am taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that and choosing joy over misery and let it happen to me ... forever grateful for all life lessons and all who share ...

so sorry your baby is lost...praying for her safe return home.

Thanks ... I am still hoping and hanging in there with a mustard seed of faith ... but it is looking bleak...

I have  a wonderful animal  I often refer to as  my thousand year old cat....  who loves to be combed , brushed  petted and loved .....he is 26   years old and counting ...  my MOM  refers to his   kitten hood...in HER fifties and now her eighties lol .

 

My cat lived in a roof space above a barber shop before we rescued him ......
