This is why...

In the world of eyebrows and so much more, Frida Kahlo is an icon.  Even in finger-puppet form, as created by Abbey Christine, shared here, that steady, sturdy line bisecting her face speaks.

Every day I wear my Angela Smyth "Anything is Possible" badge, for I believe it to be true.

Today, I noticed that my long-missing left eyebrow had returned.  Alas, its companion, the right, has only partially materialized but as I shall keep wearing my badge, I am optimistic.  The disappearance of both seemed the result of a fluctuating thyroid and heaven only knows what else that can befall a woman of a certain age and temperment.  And kind of like the line from Leonard Cohen's song, Famous Blue Raincoat,  "...I thought it (obvious eyebrow absence) was there for good so I never really tried,"  I adjusted my expectations downward.  But after a few years of not worrying at the poor depleted things (even the most feathered drawing-in attempts looked like bad stage make-up), hey, presto,  the seemingly impossible reappearance.  This is why we never give up.
