When I saw the word of the day this morning, these thoughts or expressions came into my mind that we say frequently.
…at the last minute
…it only takes a minute
….I’ll be there in a minute
…I’ll only be a minute
…just a minute
…it’s just 10 minutes away
…the secretary takes minutes of the meeting
…give me a minute
Hair
As a young girl I had beautiful thick, dark hair. I have always loved my hair and basically took for granted. Perhaps I never realized how important hair was to my self-worth until I didn’t have it.
I lost my hair due to cancer and chemo. When it started falling out in clumps it was
devastating. Even though I knew it was going to happen, I wasn’t prepared for
the emotions it would invoke in me especially as my sweet daughter shaved my
head.
When my hair came back, it was never the same. Much of the curl was gone and it was
thin. I was grateful not to have to wear
a wig, but sad that it was not the texture and strength I had hoped for. But, I told myself over and over, “at least,
you have hair.” A motto I try to
remember when I start feeling sorry for myself.
I’m just grateful it came back!
I've decided to try and get back to writing a little each day. In order to do this, thought I'd use this page to post my writings. By doing this, I'm hoping it will challenge me. To get started, I'm going back to "Word Generator" where a new word is generated daily and selecting that word to write about.
My word for today is, "chose"...perfect format for today as I have "chose" to write again. I chose to attempt writing again as it challenges my thought process, and helps me keep my mind active. Don't know how this will go or if I can keep up with it, but I have decided to just "go for it."
Would be fun if someone out there also decided to locate "Word Generator" and write about the word that popped up for them. The great thing is that it doesn't take a lot of time and doesn't have to be a long piece, just a few thoughts about the word.
