gratitude Tuesday - letter t

For some reason i found it quite hard to think of words this week, even though 't' seems like quite an easy one. If anyone has done this letter, or can think of any more good 't' words to be grateful for please let me know.

~ training - i am really really thankful that my Sir has provided such a comprehensive and clear programme of training for me, because i think it is this more than anything else that has helped me develop into the slave i am today; though i think i would probably have reached this point eventually anyway, i believe that the training enabled me to get here much more quickly than i ever thought possible.

~ trains - i love travelling by train, even though it is getting really expensive; i especially love the underground network in London because without that it would be really difficult to get from place to place when i go up there to visit. But the reason i am most grateful for trains is that is how i used to travel to visit Sir, which was important for me to be in His physical presence regularly in order for my submission to deepen.

~ television - i am thankful for TV even though i don't watch much of it. There are certain programmes i like, though, and i also enjoy watching DVDs of past TV shows, so i think it is very useful for entertainment and educational purposes.

~ taste - imagine how boring it would be to eat without tasting? i love my food and am so grateful for the many wonderful tastes i get to experience.

~ trainers - i used to wear trainers pretty much all the time, but even though i now have lots of other shoes which i wear instead, there are times when i just slip on a pair of comfy trainers and pop down to the shops with Poppy, so i'm very glad that someone invented them!

~ therapy - by this i mean the counselling sessions and also the alternative treatments i had (such as the reflexology, the Indian head massage, and also the mother and baby massages) - without all these types of therapy i wouldn't have gotten rid of the pnd so quickly or be able to chill out regularly to keep me in balance.

~ thud - i think i've mentioned it before that i prefer 'thud' on my bottom and 'sting' on my tits (ooooh another good 't' word!). There's nothing quite like a good thuddy flogging on my bottom to help me slip into melty sub mode and feel soooooo good afterwards :)

~ toad in the hole - a bit of a weird one and i'm not sure if Americans even know what it is (Google it!), but i absolutely love this dish and often make it when i'm feeling down and in need of a bit of good old stodgy comfort food. And luckily Sir loves it too, so He's always happy to have it for dinner.

~ talk time - every week i have a special set-aside talk time with Sir, where i am free to raise whatever points i want to, and where we discuss issues of importance to us. i'm very grateful for the opportunity to do this because i think it helps keep me on the right track as His slave.

~ tolerance - this is an important one, and though i wish more people were tolerant of the BDSM lifestyle, i'm also grateful that there are some people already who are. And i'm also grateful for all those people in the lifestyle who try hard to be tolerant of others, even if they have completely different kinks and preferences. i hope i am tolerant of others too, because i try to be.
