I've Officially Declared





I'm not wearing a hat anymore except for warmth.
It's all there, some light, some dark, and even a hair square.
I'm so happy a girl who's been bald for more than a year.
Between the chemo & the brain radiation,
I've had about one month of hair.

I am happy!! My BFF Marcia is coming over and we
going out for lunch.

Oh what fun!!


JOYS

hair
lunch
the sun
tiny blossoms
waking up with a good attitude








& your joys??

  4. You look so happy! That's great! I enjoy happy people. My joy of today: I had coffee all morning with a friend. She has some severe problems, her husband was 'mentally ill' and was in a psychiatric clinic, but still we had such a lovely morning talking about everything, sometimes you feel true friendship. I'm going to take her out for another coffee asap.

  9. My greatest joy today is getting a note on my Blogger dashboard, and finding your smiling photo there. Truly! You look absolutely wonderful, Deena, and I mean that sincerely. After all the suffering you've been through, it certainly doesn't show. You look happy and healthy! Other joys today are: the beautiful spring weather here, lots of little birds feeding in my backyard, a Starbucks this morning, and my hubby working from home today! Love, Jann

  24. Absolutely Gorgeous Sweet Deena... Have you decided on what brand of hair gel to use? You absolutely have to try it.... just once. It's so fun when your hair is short like it is now for you. Right about the same timing, I started using hair gel... and had so much fun with it. And the gel actually makes your hair look a little longer... and darker. My hair has been brown for my entire life, but when it came back, it was almost completely gray. Then, to complicate everything... it came in curly. Like, a natural spiral curl. Never had that before either. I color my hair now... brown... because I couldn't deal with the gray at 44/45. My hair has grown almost to the bottom of my back... even with the curl. It's pretty long.

    You look absolutely stunning. Hope your head is feeling warmer.

    Hugs, Penny Sue

    Whatever frosted my ego that day just thaws...

    I hope lunch was good. BFF's are a wonderful thing to have, aren't they?

    Praying for you,
    Jan

  32. I am not sure how I found your blog, but in doing so, it was as if I received a hug from my mom who passed away 4/12 years ago. . . . I remember when her hair was growing back, just like yours, and it reminded me of the buds on trees in the springtime and a newborn baby's head . . . I am so happy for you! May each day bring you more joy and love than the day before. Be well.
