I'm Gray

So perhaps the stress of all the events that occurred over the last month led me to finally get to the point when you know you're getting old. Yup, I finally got a gray hair. I actually got two to be exact and I'm hoping those are the only ones for now.

I realize that this is not a life and death situation but accepting that you're getting old is on fun at all. The first few sings of age started appearing in the form of small pains in the knees, the back, the arms, you name it... it has a tendency to hurt at some point in my life.

When I was much younger I never thought that getting old would be this tough but the major differences we go through is quite incredible. Just based on our faces alone, the wrinkles, the bags, the hair, everything changes.

So is gray hair a sign of age, or maturity? Is gray hair sexy, or yukky? I wonder if I'll ever use that hair product called "Just For Men"...

A perfect example of how we age would be the following image:
National Geographic Afghan Girl
Do you remember the National Geographic Cover with the Afghan girl on the left? Well, the women on the right is that very same girl.

Similar but different you say?

I know this photo very well.

The 1st on is arresting in the eyes...the 2nd one is arresting in her face.

Yep, the same...but different (& still very powerful).
