As a schoolgirl, I had masses of reddish-brown hair- always in my way, and held back in braids. Picture Dorothy in Oz. As a teen, my best girlfriend Ann took me surfing, and we dried our hair on huge empty orange juice cans and ironed it on an ironing board. (I once got caught by a Japanese tour group with rollers under a scarf. Somewhere in Tokio are hundreds of puzzled Japanese.) In college I trained as a music therapist- in my generation’s war, and cut it short- male style- because I had to. I grew it long for my wedding, short each time I passed exams, or major accomplishments in my life. Each form of hair, or hats, or scarves, or a particular piece of jewelry- wedding ring, ring for a child, etc. says, this is real. I am proud of me. Be proud of your hair development. Do you have a hat collection?
Yep! Sometimes it’s hard being judged by what is instead of what was. Luckily, we ease into the changes…

I don’t wear any kind of headwear Lin. I have two baseball caps and one skull cap for winter nights out. They hardly ever see daylight.
