Out with the old; in with the new.
Filed Under The Way I See It
It’s the Christmas holidays and I’m taking a bit of a break and indulging myself by focusing on something less serious today.
Just recently, I changed the look of my website. I’ve had the old black and white colour scheme for about a year or so. I really liked it. The colour seemed to suit a blog/podcast called Teachers At Risk. But, just this past week when I was high on optimism, I looked at it and in a nano second I knew the black and white colour scheme had to go. I needed a colour that reflected my new optimism. I wanted something more cheerful. When I think about it, it’s not hard to find something more cheerful than black. I decided I wanted a green theme, a soft green theme for my web site. I’m a gardener and so green is good. A gardener has to be optimistic or why would she bother. So green it is.*** (I couldn’t get the green theme to work, so blue it is.)
I’ve recently changed something else as well-my hair colour and style, and I love it. I usually ask my hairdresser to give me a look and colour that is almost age appropriate. I like to push the envelope a bit. I like funky and edgy. I know that when you think of funky and edgy the first thing that pops into your mind might not be a special education teacher of a certain age, but there goes that stereotype. Anyway, I got fed up with my regular hairdresser. The funk was gone; the edge was gone. So, when a new salon opened in the neighborhood, I went and talked to the owner and told her what I wanted. She knew funky; she knew and edgy and together we chose the cut and the colour of the highlights I was to get. She performed her magic and now I have the best possible funky, edgy hair style that a special education teacher of a certain age could have.
My new hair style and colour is so much fun, but I have to admit I was a bit shocked when I looked in the mirror the next morning and saw those glorious copper coloured highlights but figured it was a good thing because now every time I look in the mirror I’ll be reminded not to take myself or life too seriously. Copper coloured high lights are not a serious thing.
I am serious though about wishing everyone peace and good will for the coming year. So
May you be filled with loving kindness.
May you be well.
May you be peaceful and at ease.
May you be happy.
