Locks of Love

Yesterday my daughter had her hair cut. This isn't a big deal to most but for her it is! She has said for a few years, "I will never get my hair cut!" But Sunday she decided she wanted it cut short and that she would donate her hair to Locks of Love so yesterday a friend cut her 18 inch braid off and we mail it today. Here are photos of the big event.

She loves it! Her dad and I are very proud of her for deciding to donate to a worthy cause. Now I don't see myself doing this anytime soon I love my long hair to much. I did have our friend cut about 3 inches off yesterday hair that was very dry and had split ends and seeing it on the floor almost gave me an anxiety attack! But it feels much healthier, I had it trimed just once in the last 3 years so it needed it.

What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. Think of the little girl who will now have a lovely blonde wig. And your daughter is totally adorable with short hair. Now the fun part is growing it again, and doing the same thing in a few years! (My husband treats me to a cut/color/style every 6 weeks or so. He says it's like having a new wife, LOL!)

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
