I Walked Out With a Mullet

I haven't had a bad hair cut for years. I've been looking for a new hairdresser since we moved across the country. Guess what? The lady who just cut my hair will not be my new hairdresser. It was one of those moments when you realize you better just get the heck out of there before she makes it worse. She gave me way too many choppy layers all over and left a lot of length in the back and let's just say......... it looked like a MULLET. The good news is that now I know a mullet does not look good on me (not that I ever wanted to find out if a mullet looked good on me). I was so upset by this bad hair cut that I decided to go get another hair cut at a different salon. I am normally a very thrifty person and I will go as long as 9 months without a hair cut, but this was one cut I couldn't live with. In order to fix the cut, however, many inches had to be taken off to get rid of the mullet, so now I'm left with hair that's quite a bit shorter than I had wanted. The 2nd cut was better, but honestly, I wasn't too impressed with that one, either.

I've decided, however, that I need to get over this silly incident. There are people I know who are struggling with things far worse than a bad hair cut. I really have a LOT to be thankful for. First of all, my hair grows pretty fast and I am thankful for that! I am thankful that I can go running whenever I feel like it because I have two legs and a healthy body. I am thankful that I have 4 beautiful children. I am thankful that I get to care for them. I am thankful that I get to help my children with their homework. I am thankful that I get to buy groceries and cook meals for my family. I am thankful that I get to take my boys to baseball. I am thankful that I get to put bows in my daughter's hair and enjoy her beautiful smile and personality. I am thankful that I get to volunteer at my children's school. I am thankful that I get to serve at church. I am thankful that I get to clean the house and do the laundry. I am thankful that I get to go for walks and to the park with my children.

I have had running injuries before where I couldn't walk. I've been on bedrest during a pregnancy before. I know how hard it is to not have all of these blessings. I know that I should be so grateful for what I have and I am! Finally, I am grateful that I get to go pay for two bad hair cuts because my husband has a job!
