Finally! A Tattoo


Guess what world? I've finally did it! I have a tattoo. My daughter promised me a couple of years ago that she would get me a tattoo for a Mother's Day gift. It finally happened. It hurt like the dickens. But now I'm a mark woman, a painted lady and I couldn't be happier. My daughter got the exact same thing on her arm. Now we are matching.
The tattoo is of the yingyang symbol with two lizards chasing their tails. What it means to me is balance in life and how we, as people, seem to be chasing our own tails. What goes around comes around and all that.
Everyone keeps asking me, "Why would a grown woman do that to her body?"
The answer is very simple: I did it because this is one of the things I want to do before I get to old to do anything. At 51 time is working against me now. I may have 5 years or I may have 40 years. But I don't want to go without doing at least one thing on my list of, I wish I had done that.
Number 2 on my list is to learn how to drive a motorcycle. We'll see what happens with that.
