Ode to hair....or lack there of.

Oh hair. So often we take it for granted. We curse it when it doesn't do what we want it to. We wish it was straight or curly, blond or brunette, not so grey or receding. When it goes away it's weird, and strangely emotional. Why? It's just hair right. Yes and no. It is just hair, and yes it will grow back. It's also part of our identity. It's part of how people recognize us. We cut it to suit our personality. So here we are today with less hair then yesterday. Sure it's temporary, and part of the healing process, still it's odd. Sheri calls it the great migration. It is what it is. Life goes on, hair or no hair. It's pretty trivial in the whole scheme of things. So we move on, with a little less hair, but still moving forward.

Last night we watched "Meet The Robinsons" with the kids. The motto from it was Keep Moving Forward. No matter how many failures, it's one step closer to success.

PS....never take yourself too seriously, and laugh a lot. I think every one should have a mowhawk once in their life!!! Sheri agrees, but she's not signing up yet.

Hi guys,

Well, yes, hair. It is a strange piece of us. Often I wish I wouldn't have to deal with it, and want to shave it off completely just to do it. But I would surely miss it.... I imagine it is very weird to watch it go....thinking of you and checking in daily. Brett--love your do.

We love that Meet the Robinson movie for that theme, Keep Moving Forward. It's a good motto.
