Long Term Hair Commitment

I am coming to the last phase of my Long Term Hair Commitment. I have just one more inch to go before I am allowed to get anything more than a trim. It has been a long two years (made longer by a haircut that was not what the picture showed) with several awkward stages thrown in. It's been a longer time since I've been able to put my hair in a bun. 12 years! I had forgotten how much I love wearing a bun. I call it my I Secretly Want To Be A Professional Ice-Skater Or The Queen of Some Small South American Country look.

And every time I put my hair up, I am reminded of what it is to live life intentionally, purposefully. If I can be this steadfast in reaching a goal concerning dead cells - then shouldn't I be more dilligent in living towards goals that really matter?
