CUT!

My hair was finally long enough for the big cut!  I washed it and separated it into 6 ponytails.  (This head holds a lot of hair.)  I grabbed the scissors & cut it off!  That's right folks.  I cut my own hair.  I ain't scared!  :0)  Seriously though, I didn't want the hairstylist to talk me out of it.  So, a few hours after I cut my own hair for donation, I went into the salon for a 'clean up'.  I really like my new do.  Its short, sassy & easy.  Locks of Love needs at least 10 inches & a few of my ponytails were 12.  It felt so good to do something physical for someone else at a time when I feel so helpless. 
I have no plans to grow my hair out again.  I've always wanted to donate hair & now I've done it.  It was a small thing to do for those kiddos who struggle to live.  I only hope someone somewhere wears it & loves it.  People have been very sweet & given me lots of praise & compliments but really, I only cut my hair.  When you visit a cancer treatment center you will understand, it was nothing, it even made my life easier.    I only wish I could give more to those who are the real true heroes!
