Congrats on the hair! Having quite dark brown hair myself, I'm envious of those who can apply dye without first applying bleach... My first effort at aqua resulted in almost-invisible-green, and I didn't make a second effort.
Congrats also on the running! I'm glad the scenery was nice.
That is one of my favourite poems by Auden - I'm so glad you mentioned it! The best bit, for me is:
O look, look in the mirror, O look in your distress: Life remains a blessing Although you cannot bless.
I try to remind myself, in rougher times, that there's still blessing in the world even if I'm not feeling it.
