What a Great Feeling

Now all of you may or may not know, but back in July I decided it was time for me to change my hair style and went for a shorter style, what some people call a "drastic change".  Now mind you, this haircut is nothing new to me.  I have always had short hair and me having long hair was more of an experiment for me than anything else.

Now it's time for me to head to work.  Did the usual, showered, dressed, put on makeup, did my hair - which took all of 30 minutes and not the hour it used to take.  I have arrived at work and the Oh-My-God-What-Did-You-Do, "looks great" remarks start.  All day long and the next day and the following week and yes it does feel great when you get a slew of compliments, but that is not really what I am writing about here. People commented on my hair whom I have never spoken to in my life, they just work in the same building.  Of course this whole time I have thanked every person who said "you look great".  That was the amazing part, you have no idea who notices you.  I feel bad that it took a "drastic change" for them to get up the courage to talk to me and then to throw out a compliment.  So this has now gone on month after month to my amazement.  So my last experience was today - two months later (my hair has surely grown since then) a women, both of us heading to the bathroom, stopped and said "I really love your hair".  In my head I thought, still after all this time people are still noticing - What A Great Feeling.

The moral of the story is, make sure you look good at all times, you never know who's watching and if you notice someone that you admire - for whatever reason, just say "Hi", I bet it will make their day.  And lastly, go out and do that "drastic" thing you've been thinking about and have never done and come back with pictures.
