I figured I put the meaning of the tattoo so I wouldn’t have to answer it a million times.
On the 4th April 2010 my Mother sent me an email containing the following.
————————————————————————-
The Little Things.
The head of a company survived 9/11 because
His son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was
His turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her
Alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident.
One of them
Missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.
One’s
Car wouldn’t start.
One couldn’t
Get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
Took the various means to get to work but before.
He got there, he developed a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..
Now when I am
Stuck in traffic,
Miss an elevator,
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone…
All the little things that annoy me,
I think to myself,
This is exactly where
I’m meant to be
At this very moment
————————————————————————-
The ending always stuck with me and I would be stuck in traffic and would bitch about it but then would remember back to the saying. On the 11th April 2010 I thought about it some more and realized that I wanted it inked on me.
