Eyebrows

Just for today, it’s OK to have bushy eyebrows. In three days, when I get paid, I will be able to go to my eyebrow lady and she can pluck and shape my eyebrows appropriately. I am not defined by my facial hair. Likewise, it’s OK that my pedicure is slightly chipped. My worth is not defined by the eveness of my nailpolish. Nonetheless, I can acknowledge that I feel uncomfortable with this excess hair and chipped polish. While inside I may feel like a scraggly, hairy beast, I know that “scraggly, hairy, beast” is not a feeling. Just for today, I am a spirit inhabiting a body. And if anyone has a problem with ill defined eyebrows, I can tell myself that what other people think is non of my business. Just for today, it’s OK to not look together in the city of Los Angeles. God does not judge me by my eyebrows or pedicure.
