Driving away from this town called ease
I was wasting time to do as I please
Try to fill my brain with new things to do
Remembering that I’m just passing through
Clearer heads appear under different skies
Walking away from that old disguise
From ease to pain will soon turn again
The town will remain, just the same
What a boy had set out to seek, a man had found, found by the act of living.
Mervyn Peake, from Titus Alone
Today I’m feeling:
Happy and relaxed
Today I’m grateful for:
The ladies at the tattoo shop who did a great job with my tattoo. They were fast, professional and surprisingly cheap.
The best thing about today was:
Walking around with a new tattoo. It gives a vague boost of confidence, like, this is me today, it is more than me yesterday.
Write a personal mantra or affirmation for next year.
Don’t be lazy.
