Never be afraid

Sharing this fun image from Simply Betty Stamps. I also added some gorgeous lace from Istanbul and some beautiful bling.  The sentiment, so very true to me as I have a huge scar all the way from the center of my head around the back to my left ear from the brain surgery.  "Never be afraid of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you."

I can recall my doctor asking me a month or two after surgery how I was feeling about the scar, perhaps it was even later.  I will say, I didn't even see it for about 4 weeks.  You are never looking at a mirror in the hospital and your head is wrapped all the time.  Was quite a surprise as they had shaved my head like a reverse Mohawk.  About all I could do is roll my eyes and think of how crazy I must have looked when I was leaving the hospital.  Took about a year for my hair to really grow back, at least enough to really cover up the scar completely.  SMALL price to pay for the amazing seizure free life that I have now. I told that doctor, that scar is not important.
