First, Cute Wig!

Thanks to my friend, Jolee Wolf, I got my first, cute wig yesterday. Patty, at Rapid City Regional Hospital, takes donation wigs and has them cleaned and, if necessary, updates the styling. There is a little room where she takes women who are coming to terms with their baldness and trys to find them a suitable "confidence booster". There isn't a large selection, but Patty says that she's almost always able to match up a woman with something that will work, at least, temporarily. I encourage you all to donate wigs to your local centers!!

I "traded" two crocheted caps, (from my Auntie Joanne) for the opportunity to have one of the wigs. Patty said it was unnecessary, but I told her that I really needed to give before I received. One cap was royal blue and the other a royal purple, blue and pink mix. Patty grinned when she saw them and asked if she could hold them back and give them to women with "big" personalities ... of course, I said yes!

She also invited me to this month's "Look Good...Feel Good" Event. Patty explained that most Cancer Centers bring together women who are experiencing complete hair loss and teaches them how to care for their newly sensitive skin and how to camouflage with makeup. The gatherings are sponsored by the American Cancer Society and several major cosmetic companies, who also give out free cosmetics to the attendees! Best of all ... I'll get to meet 5 or 6 other women who are experiencing the loss of not just their head of hair but also their eyelashes and eyebrows. WOW! I feel so blessed!!

That's all I know today ... but I want to end by saying I hope you are having a fantastic week and can find at least 3 things that you are grateful for. My gratitude lists are usually dozens of lines ... but always included in the top 5 is how grateful I am for my internet "Spirit Posse" ... I'm amazed by your courage to follow along this journey with me. I thank The God of my Understanding for you and include you in my daily prayers!!

Many, many, many Blessings!!
