Change

I love your new haircut!

I totally understand getting into a rut. I'm in one now. I live in Northern Ontario, Canada, and we had a few weeks of -35 or colder weather, where I couldn't leave the house or the extreme cold would trigger an asthma attack. I felt awful. That was followed by a week of normal winter weather (still well below freezing but I could breathe) so I was able to go for walks. Except I was in a rut from my week of being stuck inside. The thought of getting dressed, doing my makeup and hair just seemed too much. Then I realized I didn't have to do any of that because my hat, coat, and scarf would cover everything anyway and I walked every day last week. I needed the exercise and enjoyed the fresh air but I was not feeling good because I looked like such a mess under all the winter layers. Then the super cold returned and I've been housebound again. Now I'm in such a rut I just want to stay in my room. I hate winter. I'm thinking of dying my hair; maybe it will help pull me out of this.

Just be careful when you get in a rut to change things. I know I have gone and got my hair done and think what the heck was I thinking.

Go to a salon and really research what you would like. Color can be corrected but can cost a lot of money and damage on your hair.

I hate winter to. I love summer. I live near the ocean. We have summer a few weeks longer here.

I don't think we all need to wear makeup all the time. Most of the time I wear it for me. To protect my skin from the cold.

I actually wear less now. I don't have to hide behind it.

I know what you mean. I usually only wear some coverup to cover my rosacea and some lip gloss. In the evenings I'll add mascara. I just feel icky without coverup when I go out in public, especially if it's too cold or hot or my face turns bright red.

We all step into what I call the Rabbit hole from time to time. What is important is you took note and said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! You know what to do my friend, but if you need help with anything I am here for you! Get back to the basics and make changes one step at a time.

Congratulations on your daughters upcoming wedding. When is the date? May be a great goal date!

We are cheering you on!

It is not till 2019. We decided to go out and kinda celebrate by looking at dresses. So many people are naysayers when it comes to weddings.

Like pretty much anything. Everyone has a horror story why we shouldn't do it

I am pretty much I am there for her if she needs me.

She look beautiful in the gowns she tried on. She wants the whole princess experience.

I didn't cry when I saw her in the gowns. I thought I would.

It does show that I have grown up a bit since surgery and getting sober.

It was nice being there for her. And not thinking about when I would be able to get out of the store and have a ****tail.

In the store they had champagne for them. They didn't drink much of it. It made me think about when I was drinking heavily I would have asked for another bottle. Blaming they drank it.

It was a good day.

Every day is a new beginning.
