Mistress Appreciation

It occurred to me that the casual reader may derive a negative view of my relationship with my Mistress, given how much sadness and self-doubt can be found in my posts. Let me reiterate that these are the reflections of someone surprised by her own behavior and not the complaints of a dissatisfied submissive. As I write in an earlier post, I am recording here my internal monologue, not a historical record of objective facts.

But I would like to write a happier post, to state why I like my Mistress and feel that She earned my loyalty. Such a post is overdue, because of course this appreciation is also a major part of of my internal monologue. In no particular order, here are some nice things that I want to say about my Mistress.

• She and I have great conversations, in which She shares her thoughts and takes mine seriously.
• She tries to understand who I am so She can make my second life happier.
• She protects me when I get into trouble, which isn't often, but it's happened and She was there and strong for me.
• She strokes my hair when I am sad or particularly well behaved.
• She treats me with dignity, even though I am her sub.
• When I've needed discipline, she has provided it with both firmness and humanity.
• She made me (by more than one account) the most adorable animation in Second Life (in which I jump and clap my hands).
• She puts pictures of me on the walls of Her studio.
• She often drops everything to be with me when I log in.
• She teaches that RL>SL, which means both that She understands when I can't log on and that I should understand when She can't (not that I'm terribly good at that).
• Her rants are hilarious and yet also insightful.

With a Mistress like that, can you blame me for being depressed when She is not available to me?

It is late spring now, and the coming of Mother's Day and Father's Day is on my mind, since I live some distance from my parents and I have to factor in mail when it comes to getting presents. It seems to me that there should be Dom/mes Day, where all the subs express their appreciation for all their Dom/mes do for them. If I ever get to attend a Hallmark Board meeting, I will make this proposal--and see how quickly I get invited back to said board meeting.
