Once again we are here…the time of year when we often reflect on what this year has been for us, for those around us, and perhaps most especially for those we love and cherish the most. Hopefully we are grateful for many things and many people who are part of our lives… for experiences and moments that have touched us, taught us, supported us, and loved us. 🙂
My personal experience of being in a place of gratitude has shown me so many things… peacefulness, harmony, joy, acceptance, and love. Feeling and showing gratitude just feels good. 🙂
Here are just a few of the things that I am most grateful for…Yes 7 of course. 🙂
My loving nurturing husband and partner!
Beautiful happy memories of Simon (our kitty)!
Our beautiful special camp friends!
A warm happy place to call home!
Plenty of healthy yummy food and a partner who LOVES to prepare it!
An amazing place to collaborate, explore, share, and grow (LDW)!
Beautiful, helpful, kind, and compassionate people (LDW)!
What about YOU??? What are you most grateful for??? Call me and tell me OR share a comment right here and let me know!! 🙂

Even though gratitude is not a new concept for me, as You well know Goddess, it is my recent paradigm shift i am most grateful for. Shifting my perception of loss from lamenting future possibilities to being thankful for the good times shared, greatly diminishes my depression over the past and my anxieties for the future. Both of which i accept are completely beyond my control.
i am grateful for being able to be present in the moment and seeing the beauty that surrounds me and the mystical energy connections i share with like minded souls.
i, like You, am grateful for my LDW support system. Ms. Ally and the talented team She has put together has sustained me through a long abyss with my best friend. my caregiver, and my Mistress, as well as a few other fun dalliances along the way. i must also express a generous thank You to the dispatchers who are the gateway to the Mistresses and all they do to take care of the ladies, and me.
i am grateful for my kids and exes.
i am grateful for my RL Tantric Priestess who has been most generous with Her teachings and love.
i am grateful for all the shit that happened previously in my life and the lessons it taught to make me who i am. Present, in this moment, with gratitude and acceptance instead of depression or anxiety.
i am grateful for the beauty of nature and the opportunities my previous life has given me to enjoy it more frequently at this point in my life.
The list could go on, but for You Goddess Mandy, i’ll stop with my top seven.
Even though You are my Best Friend mentioned above, please accept my perpetual gratitude for Your willingness to be such an integral influence in my life for the past nine years. The roles You have filled are too numerous to mention. May You, and those special to You have their days filled with joy and wonder.
Dear Goddess Mandy,
Once again you shine through with your sincerity as a truly loving & caring human being.
Thankfully, Ms. Scarlet put a link to this post from her own similar post yesterday.
It’s a good day to make a stranger smile…just like every other day of the year :).
Have a wonderful day and thank you for posting this message.
Love,
peewee
