Shaggy Hair

Have you ever noticed how your hair can go from being fine one day to way too long the next day? It happens overnight it seems! And then it is way too long and getting longer and I keep putting off a haircut because it hasn't reached the point of being unbearable. But in the meantime I am getting longer and shaggier! And there always seems to be some excuse as to why I don't have the time to go and get a haircut or do what needs to be done. I am a great procrastinator and it shows up in my hair! Part of it is that I haven't found a great hair place here in Calgary. Mind you... in PG I just went to Zellers and the Magic Cuts there. Depending on who was working on the day I went in, I could walk out with a half decent haircut or I could walk out with a rather poor cut... uneven on the sides or way too short or just looking goofy... But it was cheap and I knew I could just walk in most times and get my hair cut! Ah well... I wonder at that... the propensity we have to push things ahead of us if they seem too difficuult or time-consuming. And, just like my hair, the things get longer... or wider and deeper or more involved. It would be far better to just handle things as they come up. Somehow though, we think that putting things off will make them easier or something. Truth is... they don't get easier and we just feel more guilty or put upon as they pile up ahead of us. To take a line from Nike... far better to "Just Do It!"...
