Time for some Action

Yesterday was a life/body altering day for myself (Ant). I've been forever talking about getting another tattoo, and yesterday I finally took action making it happen. Just prior to sitting in the chair and undergoing the agonizing pain of the needle I had spoke to Emily. We chatted about how we're actually turning plans, goals, and dreams into reality. One of which was this tattoo that now covers my left arm. It felt so good to finally take action, no longer are ideas just being stored away in my head never seeing the light of day. It was like I finally was able to check something off my list, ohhhh the lists I/we have. Yesterday gave me the sense of accomplishment. The only things standing in the way of these lists are time, a little money, circumstances, and finally the effort (which normally keeps anything from ever happening). The lists get longer and longer, but only with good stuff. Things that will someday be looked back upon by both of US over yet another cup of coffee. We'll most assuredly still be holding hands, exchanging smiles, and knowing that we took charge of OUR life, living it OUR way.

The tattoo represents the four boys in my life: Gabriel, Geremiah, Julian, and Cristian Jose (CJ) whom are depicted by four Japanese Koi fish. They're swimming up against a raging current of water (LIFE) facing challenges all along the way. Once they swim their swim against the tide and get into the calmer waters on the other side, the fish will eventually (God willing) turn into dragons (MEN).
