Dawning Thoughts

The little bumble bee goes about its day doing its thing, flying from flower to flower. Bumble bees are not aggressive but when they become agitated they can sting multiple times. I had one sting me multiple times. The poor thing flew up my sleeve while I was driving. This is how I discovered I was allergic. My arm turned purple and hurt for quite some time. I went to the doctor and had to be treated. I love watching these bees but I must admit since I was stung I take precautions not to disturb them.

I thought it would bother me when I started to see gray show up in my hair, but It has started to show up and looks like little strands of tinsel in my hair. And it's not gray, it's white. I actually like it. It's funny but it makes me smile. My sister made the comment that maybe I was going to be lucky enough to get the McConnell white hair...and maybe I have. But for now little strands of tinsel is cool, and I think even a bit pretty. So finally starting to get a few white strands now that I am in my late 40's isn't so bad, and it's amazing how it just hasn't bothered me like I thought it would. I like where I am in my life and I like that I have gotten myself through so much. I'm proud of every silvery white strand in my hair and every scare I carry because I have a wonderfully blessed life, great kids, and my heart is full of gratitude for all of it.
