You look great!  It must feel awesome to be coming out of hiding :-)

Thank you!  Yes, indeed it does.  My little boy said to me today, "Mama, you're not camera-shy anymore, are you?"  :)

Aw, thank you.  It almost takes me back to the days of The Great Perm, except no pesky ammonia smells.  :)

It is my privilege to walk this path with you, Carol.  You are an inspiration, and you contribute so much to our little community here.  Thanks for all you do, and keep up your great work!

I'm simply jealous that you still have SO MUCH hair left after all this time.  And the cut takes years off your age!  Good job, Nancy!

Thanks!  Oh, no, don't be jealous.  It was long, all right, but man, was it THIN.  I didn't realize how thin it had gotten until I went to braid my teenage daughter's own gorgeous head of waist-length hair and realized how THICK hers is, like mine used to be.  When I was in active hair loss mode it was like shedding cobwebs all over the place -- very annoying.  This is much better.
