Gray Hair and Wrinkles

Posted on August 12, 2014 by russtowne

I believe that every new gray hair and wrinkle are gifts to remind me that life is fleeting, and in that impermanence, precious.

With Love,
Russ

I would rather have grey hair and wrinkles then have dark hair no wrinkles and spending my time in coffin turning to dust

It reminds me that I am changing. I want to live each day the way God wants me to. I’ve wasted time in the past. I don’t want to do it any more.

Gray hair is only for those brave enough to let it be, and smart enough to spend that color money on more enduring items! Wrinkles are for those living with emotion. Every line is evidence of awareness and response to life. Love the images! 🙂
