Day 6 - Thankfulness and Picture

Luke 12:17 "Indeed the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Day 6 - Thankfulness - I think I just have to be thankful today for my personality. I am an optimist. The dictionary says an optimist is "a person who usually expects a favorable outcome". My glass is half full; there's always tomorrow; think positively and all that stuff. I am very happy being this way (well, I guess I would be, wouldn't I?) Sometimes it gets me into trouble (I'm an impulse buyer and sometimes don't think before I act - but age has helped this), but usually it works out ok. Just because I am optimistic doesn't mean things are always bright and rosy - they aren't, but I can sort of handle most things a little easier because I know it will all work out in the end. Fortunately for me, I have a pessimist for a husband. Yep, fortunately. I truly believe we compliment each other. His pessimism holds down my over-enthusiasm and my optimism helps him remember it isn't always bad. I know I'm not explaining this the way I should and if you are an optimist, you'll understand where I'm coming from. You pessimists will just have to take my word for it. I am thankful God made me optimistic. I like looking on the bright side. Oh and it isn't true that optimists have fewer ulcers and stomach ailments. But, I think it is hereditary. It's not that I don't worry, it's that I don't usually let it consume me and can trust the Lord to take care of things. So, thank you Lord for making me an optimist! Day 6 - Picture

This is my hairdresser. Her name is Roxanne and I really like her. She has been doing my hair for about 10 years now and knows exactly how I like it. I thought I'd get a picture of myself with my hair in perm rollers, as this is a big part of my life about 2 or 3 times a year. But, I look really bad in the picture. Not, a "bad-hair-day" bad (pun intended), but "rash- and ugly-marks-on-face-day" bad. So, I found this setting on my Kodak picture thing and put my picture in "coloring book" mode. At least you can tell I have perm rollers in my hair, but you can't see how horrid my eyes and mouth look. Ha! Neat, huh? It's qutie an ordeal to get me ready for the solution, as Roxanne and I smear zincofax all over my hairline and ears to keep the solution from irritating the rash. But, it gets the job done and I'd have an "after" picture for you, but didn't get Dale to do one before he went to bed. Believe me it looks better than the before!!!
