Pink Hat

     This morning I walked over to the gym so that I could do a 30minute fast walk on the treadmill. Because I felt in the pink I wore pink, right to the top of my hairless head with a pink baseball hat. Yup! Another connection came about. A cute young woman about 35 or so looked at me and said,"You look so happy and you look so cute. I guess I better get a pink hat." 

     I told her the hat covered my bare head. Her face changed. My reply was, "Don't worry. I am alive and well. Over the years, due to stress they tell me, my hair has fallen out five times only to return each time. This time it doesn't seem to want to return."

     She smiled and said, "Don't you worry. I truly think no hair is sexy. Think of Shnade O'Conner the Irish singer."

     I think I spelled the vocalist's name incorrectly.

     What I'm getting at is the uplifting interchange we had. So many people don't make a move to talk to a stranger and lose so much. Wake up and see people.
