Crowning Glory

"A woman's hair is her crowning glory"

My mind is on my hair today.

Louisiana humidity is messing with my hair.
I've never had curley hair,
but the gray hair is different than the brown hair.
It has a mind to march to it's own drummer.
I do believe it wants to curl.
Except that -
It doesn't exactly curl.
It sort of just goes places I didn't give it permission to go,
So what I end up with is wings over my ears
Yep, those are wings.
No matter what product I use,
whether I use a flat iron or a fat iron
I still have wings.
Gray Wings.
And I look in the mirror and see an
 old gray haired woman
with wings and say,
Who are you?

It's ok, because...
A woman's hair is her crowning glory
Right?

I always thought that was in the Bible,
and just now went to look up the scripture reference.
But guess what?
It's NOT there...

But look what I did find -

"Gray hair is a crown of glory;
 it is gained by living a godly life"
(Proverbs 16:31 New Living Translation)

So I have wings on my crown
Sorry, no picture today!
