This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

I shaved mine off too - well, that's not much of a sacrifice given my current state - i guess i could start to grow mine back in a reverse blessing kind of way, but I'm not sure the world is ready for that & I don't think I'd accomplish much even if I tried ;)
However, i will definitely think of you and pray for you each time I break out the clippers!
peace be with you today my friend,
adam
Meghan, you are so BEAUTIFUL!!
Dearest Meggie,
What incredible friends!! And how amazing YOU are! You have shared with us a perfect example of "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". You and Eric both have great heads to show off! And I never realized what Eric would look like with paisis (sp?)! Glad you did this before I got there. I'm a sucker for going along with the crowd when there's fun and good deeds to be done. Phew!!
See you soon!!!!
Love,
sandy :-)

Oh my word! I love the look on all of you. As Sadie says about going to "school"...I was bwave. It looks like all of you are bwave, bald and beautiful.

Meghan;
I am really impressed with you. You are a model of what people can do when faced with adversity of any kind. I've learned a lot by reading your blog.
Thank you,
Patrick, Noelle, and Naomi
Meghan,
You continue to impress me. I don't know if you realize it or not, but your blog is a fine example to everyone who reads it, of how to overcome adversity in all its forms.
Thank you for continuing to share your experiences.
Thank you,
Patrick, Noelle, and Naomi
I just realized I posted the same thing twice.
I may not be a smart man, Jenny, but I do know what love is.
Like the anxious knot of butterflies beating in your chest as you climb the ladder of the high dive.
Like the courage it takes to tip forward. And off. And down. To the water.
Your reward is cool, refreshing, strong accomplishment and cool, refreshing, strong style.
Congratulations, you gorgeous thing you.
I love the close up photo of you on kodakgallery - so sophisticated and smart looking.
Revel in your new and incredible you. You've given us so much through this, Meg. What a gift.
Love,
Julie
Meghan,
The pictures are wonderful and as they say...bald is beautiful. Most importantly however your true spunky and fun sprit show through in these photos. Thanks for sharing them with us...
Lots of love

Dear Meghan,
I'm picturing a young girl, cancer patient, receiving your locks to wear on her head - what joy you will give to her!!
As for your new look - you make Demi Moore in her GI movie look so plain!! You're gorgeous.

So far today, I've been called Kojak and Yul Brynner. Not bad, I suppose. But just now someone just called me out as "Bull" the Bailiff from Night Court. Wow. Not quite as flattering, but perhaps a good Halloween costume...
