Gray Hairs and Growing Up—A Birthday Reflection in the Mirror

Caught my reflection after my birthday, and for a second, I wondered if I looked any different. My youngest called to check in, asking if I felt older—honestly, I do, but my face keeps its secrets. He teased me about my hair, swearing I must be hiding grays. Truth is, I haven’t touched a dye bottle in ages. There are exactly four silver strands, one for each of my kids scattered across the country. Each one a little badge of love and survival. Do you ever spot a new gray and think of someone special? Or do you cover them up right away? #almost50 #beautyover40 #aginggracefully #momlife #realbeauty #Fashion
