A Few Thoughts

2 11 2011

It has been an interesting couple of months. My slave moved in, I’ve been sick. My current job was ending. Time passed.

I got better. More or less. At least as healthy as I was before.

My slave is here. There are adjustments I have had to make. Adjustments she has had to make. There are others we have to keep in mind (her kids). I think the hardest part is that we were used to being on our own.

But, we are making it. One day at a time.

It is a journey. My hand in hers. A process.

One that has to succeed.

Service Book of Days 10/10/11

10 10 2011

Outside my window… (weather, what do you hear, what do you see?) Is a quiet morning.  After doing all of my chores including my workout I am enjoying a few moments of relaxation before getting ready for the kids and Master to come home :)

my thoughts… are on letting go of the past and not letting it hurt my future.

Today’s Quote:   The thing to remember is that that the future comes one day at a time.  

Dean Acheson, Communication Bulletin for Managers & Supervisors, June 2004

I am putting myself through training for a half marathon.  I don’t usually like running on the treadmill as I am going no where just running in place.  So I tell myself to take every mile one at a time and not look at the miles I have to do totally.  This helps me get through my run without feeling like it is a drag.  I also give my best to that one mile at a time.

My bad habit is looking at everything that I need to do and getting overwhelmed by everything I need to do.  Master has told me that I tend to look at everything as if it needs to get done now.  I would say that I need to now so that I can adjust to it but I don’t think that this way of thinking is working for me as I end up getting overwhelmed and depressed by everything that needs to get done.

So guess what I am going to take these things one day at a time.  This is my new motto…one day at a time

i am thankful for…Master.  I really do appreciate him.

From my service training…(any skills, training etc; notes you want to share this week) household organization and management

i am wearing…a black tshirt and black pants.

my adventures this week…(where are you going this week?)  Are none.

Becoming well read…(What are you reading this week?) I am not reading or listening to anything at the moment.

Today’s Melody…(what music are you listening to? even if it’s just the sound of a bird…)  no music today just the chirping of insects…LOL

I give up

3 10 2011

Life is a risk.   Diane Von Furstenberg

I was speaking with Master about something yesterday.  I said to him during the conversation that things will change or I’ll give up.

That phrase “give up” has been wandering around in my mind a lot.

In the past that phrase would have meant me getting things in order physically, mentally, and emotionally so that I can leave.  I would be shutting down and giving up the fight and getting ready to move on safe in the knowledge that I have done all that I could.  Such a self sacrificing martyr.

Thank God for lessons learned.

This time I am going to give u… but I am not leaving.  I am giving up my martyrdom though.  I am giving up “making” people happy (kids, family members,etc.).  I am giving up  this stress as it is causing my jaw to hurt and my body to be sick.

I can’t control everything that happens in this life but I can take the risk of living it truthfully and authentically.  Right now that means giving up those things that are not a part of my personal growth.

Like floating lanterns in the wind that’s how I am giving them up, they are not for me anymore.

Meditation Space?

13 09 2011

One of my rituals with Master calls for me to meditate 3 times a week.  A much as I fight the idea of sitting still for a certain amount of time to meditate I have found that it is really helpful.  I tend to not feel necessary unless I am doing something needful.

In His wisdom having me set this time aside helps me refocus on the fact that it is not what I do per se but it is so much more deeper than that.

I can’t say that I have taken to meditation like a duck to water but I know it is His desire for me to meditate and it is necessary.  So for the first 2 minutes I spend settling my mind and shutting out all of the internal noise that tells me to get up.   With the hectic pace of the last 3-4 weeks I have spent my meditations just breathing and relaxing and remembering the promises of my Father that my life is in his hands and his promises to me are true.

With the move and getting settled in my home with Master my current meditation space just has a picture of him in it.  I want to add more but that will come with time.

My question to those who read our blog and those passing by:

1.  What’s in your meditation space?

2.  Do you find that meditating helps or is it a waste?

3.  How do you meditate?

Okay so that’s more than one question…lol

M/s Thoughts

22 06 2011

Soon my slave will be moving in. She is undergoing a lot more changes in her life than I am.  For me, all I have to deal with is 3 people in my house 24/7. For her, she has to leave the home she bought. Pack all of her belongings that she wishes to keep. Throw away the stuff she doesn’t. Quit her job. Get a moving truck. Move. Unpack. Settle herself and her children in. Do what I need to be done. Deal with her children’s issues with the move. Find a new job.

Yep, sometimes it is good to be the Master. But part of my role is to understand all of this. Do what I can to help with the transitions. Try to make the move easier. Buy one or two items that we need to make their life here easier.

Be a rock for her to lean on. Her shelter from the storms. And to not be another problem for her to deal with. So while I could ask her to do things for me (I come up with small task all the time, it helps for slaves to have something to do. It makes them feel useful), I hold back. I do more for myself.  I do not want to overburden my slave.

After all, I will have decades to overburden her once she arrives.

v i am thankful for…warm blankets fresh out of the dryer…mmmmm snuggly soft

 

 

v From my service training…(any skills, training etc; notes you want to share this week)  being mindful in my service to Master.   These past few months have been a strain for us and mostly due to me being Master’s wife and not his slave.

v Becoming well read…(What are you reading this week?) No new books.

 

v i manifest and co-create…(what are your hopes, dreams, and prayers this week)  Realizing I am much happier as Master’s slave.  This is my reality and where I want to be.

 

 

v Today’s Melody…(what music are you listening to? even if it’s just the sound of a bird…) No music at the moment but the day is still early J

 

 

v One of my favorite things…is talking with Master before we both go to bed

 

 

v further plans for this week…Continued spring cleaning (despite what the weather says) of the house.  Spring will be here soon.
