Another Tattoo

 Yesterday was a tough day. It was tough mainly because I saw a new counselor for the first time. Every time you start with a new counselor or really any new provider they always do an intake. Even though I shared the link to my blog with her she still had to ask me questions. Although it wasn't as bad as others have been in the past, it still brought up enough that I had more on my mind than I wished to. It also made me realize that some things I thought I had already faced and worked through I still have more work to do on. It's a hard reality.

Today was much better. Even though it started out with me waking up at 3:48 not being able to fall back to sleep it actually ended up being a good thing. At first when I got up I thought about writing in my blog. However I didn't really know where to start. I was scheduled to get a tattoo today, but my arm was still sore from the vaccine so I wasn't sure if I was even going to follow through with getting a tattoo today or not.  Anyhow I started researching different flowers meanings in case I decided against a rose. While doing this I stumbled across the oak flower which I'd never heard of.  I discovered it meant strength which led me to oak leaves which hold the same meaning as the flowers. It resulted in me coming up with an entirely new tattoo idea the morning of all by myself.  Anyone who knows me knows I always ask for others opinions rather I listen to them or not. The way this all happened and worked out so well made me think was that a God sighting? Was that evidence of the spirit working in my life?

Once again getting my tattoo was very therapeutic for me. This time he didn't even wrap it up so I have to be careful and wash it a million times, which I like. It's a good distraction. On top of that I get to go back in a couple weeks to get shading and color added and go through the process again. I'm intrigued by this masterpiece to see what it will turn out to be.
