Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

My sister got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on December 21st. The weather was perfect — sunny, warm and bright.

Do you remember the day when you found your first grey hair?  When I was in my mid 30s, I was blow drying my hair and I found one — it was pretty long (not sure why I never noticed it before), coarse and unruly.  I freaked out and immediately plucked it out. I spent several minutes examining it — twisting it and pulling it — because it was my FIRST grey hair. At that time, I thought okay don’t…
