'Do you want coffee or tea?' I had coffee, even if I didn't actually need it but the experience of having coffee with having my hair cut seemed nice and therapeutic.
I started to reflect upon all that had happened since I had been here last, which was January. So much had happened! And almost a whole year has gone by- crazy to think. All the time since my hair had grown out and the seasons and schedules changed, and how I have grown in between. It was a new beginning with the whole year to anticipate and entering into a new job, a new semester. But also, each hair trim or cut in some small ways can feel like a fresh start.
'How's life?' As she asked in a nice and inviting tone, sometimes it's hard to know how to answer but I reflected and recalled to myself on all the months in between, all the growth, the hard parts and pain, the joys and accomplishments - the winter, spring, and summer, the pieces that make up 2024 thus far.
The now Autumn feel in the air creates a newness all its own. Crisp mornings, spotted sunlight, crunchy leaves, orange and pumpkin obsession, and many things to be grateful for.
So glad this was a positive experience for you sis! And always so interesting to reflect on all that's happened when you return to a particular place.. in your case, quite a lot!!
