Someone recently told me that I'm too old to be doing some of the things that I like to do, so, I went out and got a tattoo. (You know who you are ;) Not that I just randomly went and got the tattoo, I had thought about it, a little bit. I didn't know what I was getting until the morning we left and I didn't know where I was going to get it until about 5 seconds before I sat down in the chair. The bottom line is that you are only as old as you think you are and you are only as old as you want to be. I feel I'm totally capable of getting a tattoo and having a drink with friends and then turning around and going to parent teacher conference the next day without shame.
I often make decisions like this in my life. I like it that way, makes me feel alive! I'm also a planner, which I know sounds contradictory, but that's me!
The moral of the story is, be yourself and don't worry so much about what people think of you now or what they'll think of you in 20 years. (In 20 years I fear the wrath of my daughter when picking out a mother of the bride dress that may or may not need to hide this or any other future tattoos..)
Here is a pic of my tattoo...yeah life!
