And...I am doing a BC Walk on Saturday..with our Zumba group {including moi} will be doing Zumba in the park prior to the walk...then we go to Kayseville for a 2 hour Zumba-thon for Breast Cancer and the Susan G. Komen Foundation..
Soooo..I thought..
"Wouldn't it be fun to have pink hair for the month of October to show support.."
Yeeeaaahh...
And I was thinking, like..
..or even...
{Hmm..maybe I should have ordered that on-line..}
but, I guess I didn't realize that "pink", albeit temporary, on gray hair, turns out like this...
Oooohhh yeah. Bold. Bold and sassy..Bright bold and sassy..
holy crap!
{hey..if I were tanner..and she had blue eyes..we could be twins!!}
Cancer may have killed my boobs..but it didn't kill my spirit..
Oh, and speaking of turning 62...I did it! I turned 62..AND...
I got my first tattoo! {well, that's not entirely true..I had radiation tattoo marks..but this was MY choosing..}
TaDa!
Meet "Bertie"..
..my "Zippity-do-da zippity-yay..my-on-my, it's a wonderful day..plenty of sunshine coming my way.. got a bluebird on my shoulder..it's a fact..it's actual..everything is satisfactual.." 62nd birthday present!!
Oh yes I did..and, unlike my hair color..this is permanent! And I love it. And I'm happy.
And I am sooo blessed.
I have lived through damn near everything..and it has made me realize how very precious life and love are..
So here's to all who have been my teachers, my mentors, my loves and my "bosom-buddies"..
Thank YOU..
