Merry Christmas

i guess i take every opportunity to count my blessings, and i have many. But i usually don't simply celebrate Christmas in a traditional way, i almost always also reflect and be grateful for what i have and what i am.

What i have is two of the most wonderful kids imaginable, even if they are teenagers and sometimes forget that being me is far more than simply being their mom. What i have is a job that provides for our needs, and some of our wants as well, and hope for a better job in the foreseeable future. What i have is a home, a car, peace and contentment. What i also have is a beautiful relationship with a caring, loving, demanding, strict, understanding, controlling, easygoing, mature, fun, sadistic, tender Padrone.

What i am is a mother, something that brings me so much joy i never dreamed i would feel. i am a woman, a coworker, a friend. i am intelligent, finally learning to be confident, secure, stressed, loving, and most of the time i am mature. i am submissive, slave to my Master, respectful, obedient, caring, serving, pleasing, loving.

i can't think of anything i want, or anyone i would rather be, than what i have, and who i am.

i am blessed.

Merry Christmas, mio Padrone.

Merry Christmas, my love.
