The Grey Dilemma

This is my dilemma to dye the hair or stay with the natural greying. I am a grandmother to two beautiful grandkids so the greying seems acceptable for that role. Now I also have a 14 year old son still at home and he of course is in no hurry for me to look like a little old lady. The main man in my life seems to not have an opinion on my hair (on the head that is).
I am ok with the growing older and aging process (deep down lets face it, it sucks). I do not feel as if I am actually 51 and I know I do not act like I thought 50 somethings acted. I attempted to lighten my hair on my own with a process that looked good at first but in the end did more damage. So "off with her hair" yelled my hairdresser and chop chop quite short it went. Now in lieu of the economy and attempting to be frugal I am hesitant with what I see as an additional monthly expense. Call me a cheap skate I can handle it.
I have seen beautiful grey haired women and women who look much younger due to a touch of dye. Pros and cons for either choice. Many opinions on the subject. I still am undecided and stand frozen unable to move in one direction or the other. I think my son nailed it when he said as much as he would like to see it gone he does not want to hear the ridicule, for people (these people he refers to - his friends) will surely notice. Hmmmmmmm any more opinions?
