Lovely

Good evening all, we hope that everyone as always is doing well and that things are good for all.

Thats a lovely couple posts Mystress and very flattering indeed. As with all our music, we know what each song represents to us. We often use them to get a point across as some songs, like ice cream and sour times, can describe in one set of verse, what we sometimes struggle to convey. Yet with the lyrics and musical support, the ideas are much clearer. I do count myself very lucky to have a Mystress thats into music as much as i, that is the appreciation of music and enjoyment of it for i dont have a music bone in my body.

Mystress and i are also setup for our Superbowl tradition. I look very forward to spending the day with Mystress and enjoying all the activities, especially the critiquing of the ads. We do enjoy that :)

With all my love to Mystress

Lucky

Dear readers,

Saw this song performed, and as odd as it seems, it reminded me a lot of Paladin and I. The way the two interact in this song is sweet.. and that is often how I feel with him. There are some shy smiles here and a feeling of lightness that I really enjoy. I do feel incredibly lucky to have him. and to have him not just as a Paladin and pleasure slave, but as a best friend, and confidant.

Jason Mraz – Lucky

Do you hear me,

I’m talking to you

Across the water across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don’t know how long it takes

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye

I wish we had one more kiss

I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we’re in love every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea

To an island where we’ll meet

You’ll hear the music fill the air

I’ll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees

Move so pretty you’re all I see

As the world keeps spinning round

You hold me right here right now

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

I’m lucky we’re in love every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Wishing happiness and this sort of luck to all,

Connection to details

Greetings readers,

Last week I got a txt from pet in the evening, around 5:16 'am running a bit late'. Now the thing about this text is that he didn't send it on one of the nights where I am waiting at his house for him to get home. Nope.. I was at my own place watching the news. So.. the interesting thing about that text, was that even though his time had no direct impact on me or my evening, or an our evening, he was still letting me know he was leaving work late. Its this depth of connection that I deeply appreciate from him.

I had not done lots of texting before meeting pet, I think he was already using it more then I from the text connections he shares with his friends. But since collaring him, it's become something of an electronic leash. He checks in regularly and if he's up to something interesting, he'll send pictures. Well, and then of course, sometimes he's required to send pics. And he seems generally able to rise to the occasion when needed to send them. (insert wicked grin here)

It's wonderful to be able to be so connected even when we are apart, and I deeply appreciate knowing that he is only a few keystrokes away any time I need him.

This is a short post as I'm running a bit late and on way to see kajira robert in second life.

Safe Paths and Well Wishes to all out there,
Mystress

Mystress Back to Old Self

Good evening all.

The year zips by and i am happy to say my dear Mystress is well on her way to being back to her wonderful self. With the inuries in the past and healing moving on, my wonderful Mystress has once again got her wonderful step back.

Perhaps to fast :) I keep reminding Mystress to take it easy still but Mystress knows best and i trust her decisions in what she does. I am just happy to have my Mystress back to her wonderful self. Infact even when Mystress is under the eather or sore, she still is a barrel of fun, just alittle slower.

We now start the countdown to the first big day of the year for us, Valentines. I have put my request fr time with Mystress in and hope that i will be trated to Mystress's company. Once bonus is Valentines falls on our night together so mmmm. Looking forward to my Mystress's answer.

Best wishes to all our lovely guests, new and old. Please do enjoy your stay and time with us and as always, feel free to contact us.

Paladin

Thank you to Mystress

Good evening all.

Well half a month gone already in 2011, wow. I feel another super fast year this year yet that doesnt bother me at all. Why, for it will be another wonderful year in teh presence of Mystress. Mmmm i do so love being with my dear Mystress and being in her service.

Today my dear Mystress came to visit to take part in another of our yearly rituals. We have grown to enjoy wacking the wild plants each year, to cut them all down and ready them for the next year. Then we treat them all miracle grow and see how big we can get them :) It may sound silly but its the rituals Mystress and I keep dear. They instill bonding moments and bring us together and each time we practice them it brings us closer. So take each activity into view, and realize, that even the simplest activity can lead to a wonderful ritual that you can relish in each time you practice it.

So to my Mystress, thank you so much for helping today. I cherish our activities and enjoy the time together immensly.

Tasks from Mystress

Good Evening All

The year has started anew and we hope that it has started off well for all our friends and guests. I dont believe Mystress and I can complain much other than about alittle craziness. I hope that even that will clear in the near future and the year turns out to be a promising onw like the signs seem to indicate it will.

Mystress has tasked me with finding some songs and lyrics that describe our relationship. I have a few in mind that describe our feelings for one another. I shall keep you all informed on what my dear Mystress thinks.

Today we had our annual, take down the xmas decorations get together. We pulled them all down and packed them into the boxes for next year. Its wonderful to have activities we share with each other each and every year and i look forward to them each year. While i was about i did some chores for my dear Mystress to rest her back. Ended up fixing the video camera, cable box and got a new cover on Mystress's iPhone. Then we were off to have a lovely lunch before parting ways to get some individual chores done.

Now i write my post and wait for tomorrow, till my dear Mystress is once again here with me, in our home.

In Appreciation of Solidarity and Kind Words

Hello again dear Readers,

I grew tired and pained at the end of my last entry, and apologize for its rather abrupt ending, plus the fact that Paladin had returned home, and I do my best to give him priority when I am with him, as I feel it should be.

What I neglected in my last post, is the expression of the deep and abiding appreciation I have for my beloved Paladin, and all he does for me.

This has not been an easy time for me... I don't do well with pain.. and I detest narcotic pain killers. I well remember my chiropractor's advice back in '86 that saved me from certain back surgery. That painkillers especially can be dangerous because if you don't feel the pain, your likely to do something to mess it up much worse then it is. So I only take them in the most dire of situations. Otherwise it's ibuprofen and MMJ which as the doc says, helps with both inflammation and to relax all those muscles and stress, but you can still feel the pain and hopefully not hurt yourself worse. It helps with the frustrations and depression of it seeming it will never end. So I have learned to be very careful with what I do. In particular, no lifting anything over 5 lbs.. no twisting, turning or lifting anything over my head. And now I have to use a cane to stay stable on my feet. Grrrrrr...All this takes a lot of patience.. of which I am not terribly well endowed with. I feel like I've paid my penance for lifting boxes I shouldn't have, but needed to be done..so now the pain and inconvenience can take a hike. HUMPH... guess not huh?

In all of this mess... there has been Paladin.. ever solid, steady and patient. I am ever grateful for that. We hope that we find reliable folks in our lives... and I know how well blessed I am to have a slave such as he. So many search and search.. many link up.. and life sometimes kicks them in the teeth. I sorrow for those that have had tidal waves of incidents and situations that have rattled their core's, but I implore them to hold tight onto what they believe in.. and in the end, if they must slip beneath the waters and part, then may it be with the best of wishes to all and with as much grace as can be mustered.

Of all things in this world.. I know that Paladin will always be there while he draws breath. The ring I wear with his words engraved "Forever Yours.....Paladin" given to me on that first anniversary over 3 years ago is his sworn promise to me. He is unlike many in that he is a truly noble Knight. He never makes a promise he cannot keep. At my most dire moments, is when he is the kindest and most reliable, the most solid, loving and encouraging. As I commented elsewhere, I KNOW that deep in his heart, from the inside out, he has only my best interests at heart. He would do anything for me and the only time he over rules me is in regards to my health and well being. That was a directive I did give him fairly early on, and it's been a good move on my part. For I know I may not be always thinking very clearly... but that he is. When I cannot trust that things will be okay... I can trust that WE will be okay.

And now.. a few words, about words...

In times of stress and pain.. we can say (or write) things that hurt others. We don't mean to.. but sometimes.. it can be as if something goads us into it, especially when we are hurting.

I use to do that a lot in my past. I used to throw words about with the thought of "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you." I grew up with that.. and lived by it for a long while, although a part of me winced whenever I said things that didn't need to be said usually some unkind barbed sarcasm. I have learned since.. that that saying is horribly untrue. Words DO hurt.. and do terrible damage sometimes.

All of my perceptions of words and the effects of them changed for me after I read this quote from the Baha'i Writings back in 1986.. and ever since then, it has always given me a mind to be so very careful of what I might say...

For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endureth a century. -Baha'u'llah

If there is ANY chance that this is true, and I do believe it to be so... I end this entry with that in mind... with just the idea that the "effects" of words of I say last 100 years.... I will continue to bite my tongue and take long, slow deep breaths when things hurt and I am feeling grumpy, angry and/or frustrated and know that this too shall pass... and try not to cross my arms and tap my foot while waiting for it to happen.

I also want to offer a deep heartfelt apology to any I may have hurt with my words... all I can say is that I continue to try to do better each day, and I'll try not to do it again, day by day.

On that note..
I truly send out all my best to all,
Mystress

It IS a Happy New Years!

Greetings and Salutations dear Readers and friends!

I am at last back! The 'adventure' of moving a family member closer and out of a abusive situation became so much more then that. Sorting, packing and a race back to the south before the big winter storm closed the way to us was all more then a wee bit stressful. Carrying boxes of things to the car in the snow gave me chills, literally, followed rapidly by the flu as we drove all nite in the snow to get back at 6:15 am. I was huddled in the back, getting more miserable by the moment as the other two took turns on the 10 hour drive. I would have liked to stop for the nite some place after we got over the mountains, but they were determined now to get all the way through We made it back safe and sound... and I spent the next two days in bed with the flue recovering.

Thur morning the 23rd... I woke feeling finally a bit recovered from the whole ordeal, and more then ready to finish the wrapping of packages I had started the day before. Got some coffee, set up the TV to watch a recorded Medium, leaned down to open the window a bit, and open the blinds a bit.. as I went to straighten up... WHAMMO.. the back seized up. I've long had back probs since working at a law firm in '86... was flat on my back for six months at that time. and I've had a few much more minor incidents since then. I could tell immediately, this was going to be an ugly one.

I made it to the nearby couch and lay there struggling to digest that now I could not move.. couldn't get up without level 150 pain on the 1-10. I kept thinking "this is silly.. I was just up doing things... I can get up in just a moment..." WRONG. I had just opened the window, and the neighbor children were playing outside. Our new roommate was asleep in the far back of the house.. I couldn't yell for her, and her phone was turned off. Thankfully, it was about then that Paladin sent a txt saying he was off work on on his way home. I asked him then to pop
over and rescue me off the couch.. I knew he was going out of town with his family that day, and yet as always, he rose to the occasion.

As he said though, it turned out his key didn't open all the locks for some odd reason (he was given a new key on Fri) and the back yard gate was also locked.. as I said 'Think of something pet! " He pulled the screen off the window and came in through that. WHEW!

I had warned him that when he pulled me up onto my feel I'd scream.. but I'd try to control it. I think I dug my nails in just a bit. but bless his heart.. he got me up and moved and tucked in and all things taken care of.. Then he woke new roomy....

So.. that was over a week ago.. I am much better now. We had a wonderful New Years... and all seems right with the world. He was off this morning to help a friend with a time sensitive project.. and now is back from his rescue mission. So.. I sign off.. wishing all good things
to all.

Ah.. yes...... to Mikka.......My dear girl.... I have missed you too..
and I am now back...!

Hugs and love...
Mystress
