How not to take a picture in a mirror

My beautician called a few nights ago. You need to sleep, she said. You take something if you need to. You take care of yourself.

So, I took her advice. I got some herbal stuff to help me sleep, and last night I managed to sleep straight through until 4 am, which was a huge improvement over the night before.

I actually feel good today. I have hope, and optimism.

I also got my hair cut today. I was in desperate need. I look better and I certainly feel better.

I attempted to take pictures of me getting my hair cut. It didn’t quite work out. I am sure there is a technique to this but I don’t have it figured out, yet. 

The only picture that I got with me looking at me..

well, you can see what happened.

My beautician is one of those Steel Magnolia women. It was a great comfort to talk to her today. Better therapy than I could have gotten at $200 an hour in a psychiatrist's office. She and her husband have walked through the fire of pain and grief. Their teenaged daughter died of cancer. She encouraged me more than I can say. I have a feeling Richard and I will be talking with them frequently in the months to come.
