Thank you!  I'm glad you got the power tattoo... a little piece I inserted to amuse myself, but felt no one would bother to check out.  Just like, the two pictures--first one drab, second one full of life and hope.  It amuses me to do stuff that may mean nothing to anyone besides me :)  
Thanks for your kind comment.  Redemption and growth were the only places I personally could take such a  thoughtful beginning.
