The Influence of True Friends

The Influence of True Friends

I have spent more time of late beside my beloved Ocean.
She seemed as restless as I have been.
But there is a difference between her restlessness and mine.
For her restlessness has a purpose as her powerful waves rushing in to shore and back out to sea.
Mine was born of just plain loneliness and being lost for awhile.
Then I finally admitted, that yes I have been away from the ocean far to long. I desperately needed to sit quiet and hear the answers as they are whispered by the gentle breeze that is caused by the waves. And listen to my heart, for the heart does know.
I thought of my last post, and of the war that raged on for a short while, til my decision was made.
I realised a sense of peace that filled my mind and soul once the decision was made.

I then was able to accept my worth and and realised that what I wanted for myself and for a future partner was not unrealistic.
The type of person I am was brought home to me tonight just before I got home from work.
"This morning I filled in for a co-work with a family whose husband suffers from brain injury and paralyses.
Now I was just filling in for 2 hrs.
The wife call my boss and asked that I be oriented so that I could take over the night position while she goes away in 2 wks time."

I truly feel humble and honoured.
So I spent alittle more time by the sea, and once again felt the familiar grounding of my feet, and the gentle calming of my soul.
When I got home I reread my last post, my last angry email from KT, a grateful one from his wife.
I read all the more than welcome comments from my wonderful friends.
Yes, one day I hope to have a loving relationship that fulfills not only my needs but also those of my partner.
A partner who will be the centre of my world and of whose world I will be the centre of.
When that happens I will surly be sharing it with all of you, for you have all share so much with me already,for which I am truly grateful.
I also re read this verse that was given to me over the weekend, by a wonderful client that is paralyzed from polio.

Just had to share it,

"The world in which you were born is just one model of reality.

THE OTHER CULTURES ARE NOT FAILED ATTEMPTS AT BEING YOU

they are unique manifestations of the Human Spirit."

So Yes, the Angel may have won, (and the poor wee devil may still be pouting alittle, but she’ll get over it) but the Angel did win, and it is because of the wonderful influence and gentle guidance of good friends.
God Bless all

The Angel Wins

If I knew how to do it,I would change my picture. I would change it so that the cheeky Lil devil was over the Angel's knee.

I have been emailing with a friend for quite some time.
KT's emails are so thrilling, and the spankings he wants to teach me everything I want to experience. However we did disagree on the Humiliation thing, as that is something I am not into. I have been Humiliated enough over the years.Didn't like it then and I know I would not like it now.
Anyway, we met a few times for coffee and the chemistry was definitely there. We have set up a few play date, but I always seemed to find a reason not to be able to attend.
I have met KT"s wife, she is ill and longer able to be a part of the things they once shared, and she is okay with me being apart of KT's life.
Well last weekend I was very restless,very unsettled. So off I go to the Beach.
As luck would have it No One was there, Just me, along stretch of isolated beach, the gulls, and glorious sea rushing into shore, and a slight wind.
As I sat there on the rock, feeling the ocean spray and becoming one with my surrounding, all the issues that have been going round and round in my head for so long all started to fall into place.
I could even hear the angels laughing at me and saying "See we told you, you have been gone to long."

I thought of KT and what he was offering. Oh how I would love to say yes, and experience so many new things.
But then the fight broke out on my shoulder between the Angel and my LIL Devil.
For awhile I really thought that LIL DEVIL would win,
But, NO, I started really listening to both sides. Both had good points.
But, when all is said and done, I have to be true to me. And stolen moments from time to time with some one who is not free is not for me.
A discrete relationship is not what I want, nor need, I have found that those types of relationships are a dime a dozen. And definitely not for me.
I thought of all the new friends I have made in the spanking community, of which I am still just a lurker.
I thought of all of you, and your blogs, and the wonderful life you share with your partners. And I realized that that is what I truly want.
I thought of my Dear departed hubby, oh how I miss him. We had a good life together. I am sure that had I found this wonderful group of people before he passed away, that we may have been able to bring part of it into our lives.
What I had with him I want again with someone, but I also want more from my partner and I want to be able to give him more.
I realized that when I got home I would have to email KT and try to explain that our play date would never happen and explain why.
So the Angel won and the Lil Devil lost out for now.
Oh how that wee Angel on my shoulder giggled as she did a jig and
kicked my poor we Devil in the butt.
I left the beach with a much lighter heart,and the spring was back in my step.
Yes the angels were right, I have been away from my precious ocean far to long.
For it has always been the strength of the ocean that has brought me back down to earth and helped me get my feet firmly planted once more.

I'm sure I could hear her giggling all the way home.
My wee Devil has been very quiet of late, but I know that she is plotting some sort of revenge.
I have to thank all of you my friends as well. You have all helped me grow so much this past 4 months. You have all helped me come out of my shell. Made me realize that I am not weird.That I do not have two heads.That my feelings are very normal for me.
Thank you for being such wonderful caring people
Hugs
