Well, it's Thanksgiving. I don't attach a huge amount of meaning to the holiday itself, seeing it largely as a family get-together and little else. But I do tend to take some time to be introspective and reflect on what I have to be thankful for.

Okay, sure, we're thankful to have a roof over our heads and food in our bellies. Yes, we're thankful for family and friends. What are you really thankful for? What is the serious stuff that you can honestly say is something that you are deeply grateful for?
 
For now I am grateful....
- to my mum that she took me back home, so I didn't end on the street and didnt have to stay by the side of my cheating ex either
- to my little girl for loving me no matter what a crap mum I am at times
- to my Master for leting me taste a bit of BDSM life style and his sweet dominance

I will be deeply grateful for a good flogging, spanking, whiping, caning... oh and some intense orgasms! All of this once I will get it tho :p
 
Blogged on this yesterday but here's the outline:

I am thankful for the two Dom's in my life who have helped me be free, uninhibited and accepting of the facets of my life that are not what society expects of me; how to accept who I am and be proud of that person; how to be happy with who I am and not let the negative words of others have me doubting myself. I am also thankful for their friendship, support, ears, arms and shoulders when I need them most.

I am thankful for the woman in my life who helped me to discover a side of myself that I often wondered about but was too afraid to explore. In that exploration I have found an aspect of my life that appears to have been hidden deep within me and is very fulfilling when I am with her. I am also thankful for her allowing me the closeness that I share with her SO and her friendship.

I am thankful for PM. She has brought me happiness and contentment like I never thought possible. I am thankful for having her in my life as a friend, confidante, and so much more. We have so much in common it seems and we compliment each other.

I am thankful to him for bringing PM my way.

I am also thankful for good health, the continued ability to learn about myself and life, my wonderful job, a prospering business, the new home and above all else, my son.
 
Thankful

I spent the day with my family and while I was there surrounded by the people that know and love me I had a few thoughts as to what it is that makes me thankful:

1) I am blessed to have a man like mine. We fight like the dickens, we argue, we go at it like cats and dogs. *grins* At the end of the day, though, he is the only ONE who gets me all the time and loves me regardless. He is strong when I need him to be, and soft when I am falling apart...even if he has no idea why.

2) My children...the best bad ass kidlets ever. Smart, funny and ready to always be there for mommy with a hug and a smile.

3) Alissa, even when she is the reason for the hurt I am dealing with...she is still one of the few women that understands every aspect of me and does not care how bad I fuck up. She never pushes, always loves. I love her for that..always have, always will.

4) My health. Yeah physically I am an ox. Thank all the god/dess' for that. Mentally I am as fragile as china but the people I named above get me through and that is enough. I can work til I die, my legs are strong, my back is stronger. If my heart is a bit battered and abused, who cares? I will survive.

5) I am grateful for my faith. No it's not the same type of faith as Christians have but it is a faith in a higher power other than myself. That faith keeps me together, that faith makes me smile when i want to cry.

6) Finally, I am thankful for the people that I have met in r/l or o/l that just get me and understand exactly what it is I am dealing with...and love me any way. They know who they are and I don't have to tell em. I love you guys... :heart:
 
Thankful for...

thing one and thing two.
My mother who showed me that everlasting love is for real.
My brother for getting us through a first thanksgiving without daddy.
God for sending me the perfect laywer who gets who i am and doesnt think im a fool for all i have endured.
my secret hand holder, you are one thing i thank God for daily.
I guess I am really thankful for all the people around me who love me and support me even when they know I'm taking the wrong road.
Oh and I'm thankful I usually do find the right road... eventually.
:cathappy:
 
I'm thankful for my Joe who is my Master/Daddy, my best friend, my incredible lover, and the best damn person I have ever been blessed to know. The fact that he loves me completely and understands me so thoroughly is something I've been grateful for since the day he made me His pita. :heart:

I'm thankful for my daughter who is truly one of the most unique people I have ever known. For all her freakishness she is really turning into a terrific young woman.

I'm thankful for the opportunity I have had to go to college and that I've done so well in all my classes.

I'm thankful that I have finally learned to like working out. :nana:
 
1. i am thankful for my beautiful, hilarious and loving children. They make me crazy, sane, happy, mad; all in a day. Goes through all the emotions, and still; the love is always there.

2. i am thankful for God. Sending me back to earth, after the third time; telling me my purpose was two beautiful, special little boys that needed their mommy.

3. i am thankful for my family. We go through hell with what we deal with, but we stick together.

4. i am thankful for my best friend, Lora. When at my wits end, she is always there to help. And her for introducing me to Him.

5. i am thankful for our troops giving up their time with family and friends to serve and protect us. Whether they believe in what they are doing or not. God Bless You. :rose:

6. i am thankful for Him. He makes me smile, beg, be naughty, and nice. He makes me do as He wishes, He makes me purr, and orgasm. He is always there to hold and cuddle me on cool down. :eek:

7. Last but not least, i am thankful for all those i have met here on Lit that have become dear close friends. They know who they are and GIANT HUGS and :kiss: to them.

I am thankful for Master - who also loves me just as I am

I am thankful for my husband who is able to share me with another and not be threatened by it and embraces it and realizes that me loving someone does not mean I love him less

I am thankful for my health

I am extremely thankful for enjoying exercising and the losing the weight I have this year..
 
I am thankful for my mom. She is my light, my strength, my encouragement, my cheerleader. She's my best friend. She's my role-model.

I'm grateful for my mom's mom- for all the same reasons that I'm grateful for my mom.

I'm grateful for my fiance. He is the best man in the world. He's strong and kind and gentle, and just absolutely wonderful. He loves me just as I am- and he teaches me through his example. I need to learn to love like he loves.

I am grateful for honey's family. For my family. For my job- and the wonderful people I've met there. I am grateful for my brain. My soul. My life experiences.

I am grateful for every single asshole I've ever known- I am who I am today because of them.
 
I'm Thankful that the semister is almost over!

I'm also thankful for all the people in my life that are supporting me in my journey to return to school for a degree.

I'm thankful for my Mom, she's the best!!!!

I also know that my life could be worse so I'm very thankful for that!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
 
I'm grateful for the opportunity to have another holiday season with my family. Living so far away is very hard sometimes and while no one's family is all peaches a cream, I do really miss them.

I hate saying it, but I really am thankful that my husband pushed me to see a psychiatrist not long ago. It looks like there might finally be some answers, or at least new progress, after almost a decade of being fucked about and being scared to face it again. <-----Very significant, extremely difficult admission.

And I'm very grateful that I've found a Dominant that is willing to put in the time and effort to be with me. Willing to wait with/for me and for the right time that all involved will be comfortable. I'm glad that he has been so patient because I know once the waiting is over what we'll get will have been worth it.

:heart:
 
I don't celebrate thankgiving, but this has made me think about all I have to be grateful for, so...

My family and being loved.
My Master, for every experience we share. I am so happy to have him in my life.
My beliefs and my work...for all the amazing people I meet and the satisfaction I recieve.

I am thankful for wonderful memories and new possibilities.
 
I'm thankful for:

My family who, despite the times that have been very, very painful, I know they love me and will always be there to support me through life's challenges............and trust me, there have been MANY. My family is the best gift I've ever been given.

My best friends who love me unconditionally and have always been there for me, no matter what. Not only do we have a lot of fun together, but we know that we can always count on each other to be there for the rough times, too.

God, for blessing me with my family and friends and for giving me the inner-strength that I sometimes forget is there.

My doctor and friend who has been by my side for the last three years, supporting me, advising me, and always encouraging me. He has saved my life by getting me to hang on during the times when the pain has reached the hightest levels and driven me to the edge of what I can stand, reminding me that the pain levels WILL drop again.

My apartment and being able to prove to myself that I could make it on my own, despite all of the challenges that my circumstances have brought to my life.

My ability to forgive those who have hurt me.

So much more, but that's it for now.

I'm simply grateful and thankful to be here alive and well, with my family.

Nothing else is important.

P.S. Very close second on my list of thanks is that I am grateful for this being the week that makes an entire YEAR of being a nonsmoker after 25 years of being a 'slave' to that dirty nasty habit that was slowly killing me. --Thank you Master. I couldn't have done it without You.
 
1.) I'm thankful for Kitty, the best friend in the entire world.

2.) I'm thankful for the people who are *really* my friends because they mean everything to me.

3.) I'm thankful for my horses. They keep me sane (mostly).

4.) I'm thankful that for once in my life I knew what it was like to really be happy, to have this rage that I can only glimpse out of the corner of my eye, that I have been running from my whole life, quiet for just a little while. Despite how I feel now, it was worth it, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

This is such an important statement, and I wish more people would understand life this way. I have said these words almost to a tee. Bully for you, BB.

Thank you. To some people, such a phrase would make me weak. To me, it makes me strong. :rose:

I cannot imagine that such a phrase indicates weakness. It takes far more emotional fortitude to be willing to accept heartbreak so long as you can experience the joy that precedes it.

Or it could just be the textbook definition of the word "fool." :p

Better a fool than a grey man in a grey suit living a grey life.
 
I'm shallow. USPS brought my brass chain today, thank God for small favors.
