My First Gray Hair

As I was brushing my teeth this morning I discovered my first gray hair. Absolutely devastated! I joked a few posts ago about finding a gray hair and now I have one! I can't believe it....what is happening?!?

My life has always been hectic and on the verge of "out of control" but my beautiful hair has always been one of my blessings. I didn't pluck it out, though. I thought I would keep it for a while and see if anyone else notices it. If not, it might be my good luck charm!

It's not fair that as men age, their gray hairs say "wisdom and experience." When women age, our gray hair says "I never got enough sleep (for whatever reason)."

Do women have some sort of genetic disposition to stress that causes us to age much less gracefully than our male counterparts? Or do we just devote ourselves to more things and put others first, in a way that men do not? I'd like to know what you think.

What gives YOU gray hair?
