I got a tattoo, I joined the club...



For all two of you who read this, you already know that I got the tattoo, because you were with me when I got it!
I really was surprised that it was not all that big of a deal.
It did not hurt, it just stung for a second. Your adrenaline takes care of the pain.
I know about adrenaline covering pain, because I have given birth twice to two large baby boys! I did the last one, with no drugs! Adrenaline sweeps over your senses and gives you this weird sense of euphoria and you cannot remember the pain after it is gone!
That has to be why people continue to reproduce, because without the adrenaline, it would hurt like hell!

Back to the tattoo, I love it. I have wanted it for a while and have thought through it very thoroughly. I researched every avenue of the art, spiritual nature and reprocussions of it, and even been patient about it-which is tough for me!~

I decided on a turquoise dove with an olive branch in its mouth. I love the symbol of hope that is behind the little bird. My son, Tristan, immediately upon seeing it launched into the Noah's Ark story and told me that the bird brought forth the promise of hope, peace, and that God also gave the bird a rainbow...I love his rendition, it is told with animation and passion. Just like a Bible story should be told.

Who would have thought a thing on my foot would ever tell a story about God?
Weirder things have happened, I am sure of that.
