Gratitude Tuesday

I thought we could all use a little gratitude, ok, maybe I just need a little gratitude, but either way, I'm dragging you along with me.

Some of you may recall a few years ago when my good friend Ceeci started a little thing called Gratitude Tuesday. I really enjoyed it and with Ceeci's blessing, I've decided to revive it.

For those of you that weren't around, or for those of you that are losing your memory, let me tell you what Gratitude Tuesday is all about.

It's pretty simple really. Once a week, preferably on Tuesday, (hence the name) I will post things I'm grateful for. In order to keep the list from getting too long, I will do it alphabetically, starting with the letter "A", naturally. I'm hoping that some of you might join in on the fun. You can post here in my comments, you can drop me an email, OR you could post them on your own blog!

What are the rules, you ask? There are no rules! You can list them any way you choose. You can use pictures, write a story, or simply put a list. You can explain in great detail OR you can leave us all wondering what a weirdo what you are talking about.

Whether or not you all choose to join, I plan on taking this on. I need to focus my life on the good things. Believe it or not, there ARE good things!

When am I going to start this, you ask?

No time like the present! So, without further ado, let's start with the letter "A".

"A" is the first letter of my daughters name. She works in a department store. Recently a homeless woman was in the store looking at shoes. She could tell the woman was homeless by her clothing and the fact that she was pushing a baby stroller with all her possessions in it. (thank goodness, no baby) My daughter happen to be working in the shoe department that day, and she struck up a conversation with the lady. The lady was very friendly. She told my daughter that she couldn't afford any of the shoes. As my daughter looked down at the lady's feet, she noticed her shoes were full of holes and very old. It happen to be raining that day. My daughter asked the lady what size she wore. The lady said 7 1/2. My daughter told the lady she would buy her a pair of shoes. The lady was so surprised. "Bless you, my child" is pretty much all the lady could say to my daughter. My daughter bought the lady shoes AND socks that day. To say that I am a proud momma would be an understatement! My daughter is my favorite "A".

Angels are around us. I believe they are everyday people that do extraordinary things for others. I think my daughter was an angel that day.

Aunts are fun. (but not at a picnic....HAHA) I don't actually have an Aunt, but I AM an Aunt. Believe me, I'm a fun aunt. I absolutely LOVE being an aunt. I can spoil my nephews and niece and then send them home. Is that what it's like to be a grandma? (Eva??)

Absolution is one of those things you probably don't think of very often, but in this spanking world, isn't that what we are seeking? Absolution from our sins? Not in a biblical way, but just in a general way. I like being absolved! And if that means getting spanked....all the better!

Aquariums are fun. Ours happens to be 72 gallons of salt water fun. We have some lovely beauties in our tank. It's quite calming to just sit and watch them. I think it's better than TV. (Hmmmm, maybe I should post some pictures???)

Apples, Apricots, and all assorted A fruits and veggies help to keep me healthy and happy.

I think I'll end with something appropriate.....

Anal play is starting to grow on me! Last week, Bossman and I had a nice spanking session followed by some anal play. At first I was scared, but he used lots of oil and just played around. After a time, he said, "I'm just going to put the tip in." I said, "JUST DO IT!" And he DID! All the way! It was fantastic. Now I can't stop thinking about it. I want to do it again....and again.

Ahhhh, see? Life is good! Just thinking about all those "A" things makes me smile.

So, what sort of "A" things are you grateful for today?
