Transitions

Transitions are hard. In school, the most amount of time wasted is during transitions. I'm always trying to improve our transitions - make them quicker, quieter, and unnoticeable. I guess that is what I'd like all transitions to be like - quick, quiet, and unnoticed. Right now I'm having a difficult time with the transition of looking older. I don't feel older. I still have energy to do lots of things. I can hike, pop out of bed, do yard work and house work (even climbing on the roof to hang lights). I have very little pain (except forthe pain that I have had for about 12 years, when I was young. But, when I got my hair cut recently, I realized that I had been holding on to all my fake color and it is all gone. Now there is so much gray. I don't like it. I've vacilated back and forth whether to color or not. My kids keep telling me to keep it. It is weird how a little gray hair can mess with your emotions. I keep thinking that the more I stare at it the more I will embrace it. It hasn't happened. Also, it is just dumb that something so insignificant has consumed so much of my thinking time. Yep, transitions are hard!
