Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Reach out, and give someone a hug that you love, and be happy that they're in your life. Don't lose track of that fact, and how much it matters, amid the holiday stress. And remember. . . . *wink*. . . . there's a great cure for stress! (Some chocolate, you guys! Geesh, keep your mind where it belongs. . . . with all of this wonderful food!)

I wanted to share some things that I am so incredibly thankful for this year.

1.) The ability to fully, safely, and lovingly express my submission.
2.) A man who takes that gift, and nurtures it with every breath.
3.) I have friends who love me far more than I deserve.
4.) I have been in the adult spanking worlds for a little more than 2 and a half years, and through that, I have learned not only what, and who, I am, but also, who I can be.
5.) I am starting anew on some tracks in life that I haven't been particularly careful with, and that now require some work.
6.) I have all the support I could ever want during those journeys.
7.) I know that while things are tight, I have everything that I need.
8.) The holidays are coming!
9.) I am extremely thankful to be at home right now. For many of you, that may not seem like much. . . . but think about what that truly means, and perhaps it will mean more. We all seem to want to "get away". . . . but at the end of the day, what's better than being in a familiar, safe spot with one who loves you? So, in light of that information. . . . I'm beyond thankful to be at home.
10.) I'm thankful that I have total freedom of expression to be who I want to be, as I wish to be, and not have interference from the government or church. I'm not just tossing that in sound patriotic or anything. . . . . I truly feel that way. I have a right to not be proud to be an American; I have a right to express myself as a female; I have the right to be a spanko; I have the right to work how and as I wish; I have the right to my own property. . . . if you think about it, you have rights far beyond what you realize. . . . .

*simply* Don't forget and lose FOCUS of what matters today. . . . your family, friends, and everything that you DO have. Odds are, you're doing pretty well. You might not have everything that you WANT, but you have what you NEED. You sit down, somewhere, today, and eat a meal. You are on a computer. You are wearing clothes. . . . or you may not be, but you have access to them. ;-) You are more than likely online in a house, or apartment, of some kind, that you call your own. It might not be what you WANT. . . . but it's what you call home. *simply, softly* Don't forget. . . .
