Learning to Dance in the Rain

My hair is falling out in huge handfuls. So today I went shopping for scarves. I found one that is tie-dyed in beautiful colors, and one that I can wrap around my head. And then there is a headband that I will wear under my straw hat. A good friend sent me the following piece called “Attitude.” I loved it and it seemed so appropriate to the occasion of losing my hair, that I thought I would share it with all of you. We can all learn to dance in the rain.

ATTITUDE

There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'

So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
'H-M-M,' she said,
'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'

So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going
to wear my hair in a pony tail.'

So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed
that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
'YAY!' she exclaimed.
'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
