Marriage Memorial Ceremony Produces a New Look

I just had the best hair cut, style and color of my 46 years. I think it had something to do with the footage and photographs of my hair styles over 20 years living with my co-parent. It’s taken me four years after the divorce to even get a real haircut, let alone the best look ever. The point is, I’d kept my hair the same, minor variations of color, for two decades. I’m not sure if I would have even noticed had not the memorial ceremony caused me to take a good look at myself through the scope of the marriage and family prior to divorce. My hair has come of age. I’m no longer trying to hold to the past by holding onto my hair. The ceremony invited me to move forward, even with my hair style. By the way, I feel and look younger, and I feel and look more mature at the same time. That’s how every co-parent can feel about him or herself. Don’t get me wrong: I took care of myself during my marriage. That’s not the point. The point is, it was time for a change. The marriage memorial ceremony was the transition that motivated the change.
