Thanksgiving Thread

[dilshad{property of Tira}]

it occured to me  that there should be a place for   MTC and our Friends and family
to have a spot to post the things that We are graetful for,  All and all

things both in MTC and outside.. having come up with the idea i find that
i have too many to set down.. without first giving it some thought(s)

so i will step aside for a bit .. and let Others, more worthy than i
pave the way

~gentle smile~

I am quite thankful for all of MTC members and close friends Ive made here. Everyone in one way or another has touched me, being it either just to entertain, or to sincerely care and help when I am in need for closeness and friendship. I dont tell much of my personal life here for all to see, but I will say this, I suffer from the desease of depression, there are times I can hardly get out of bed because I feel so so so low all I want to do is die. Sometimes all be it rarely I can get myself together enough to come here, and when I manage I have never been let down, someone cheered me, perhaps even saved my life without knowing it, so I am thankful from the very depth of my heart.

I'm usually weird and do my "I'm thankful" thread by myself on or around December 22nd, but I can do it early this year.  It's 6 in the morning, what the hell.

I'm thankful for all of the friendships I have found and lost in my life.  Though each friendship I have lost has hurt, the experience has taught me something.

I'm thankful for the internet.  Without it, I would have never met my husband, my true father, or all of the people who have gotten me through some of the worst times in my life.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to carry a new life into this world.  Even though I get little sleep, and the lump makes sure I'm purely uncomfortable most of the time awake, he's given me a reason a smile every day since I found out I was pregnant.

I'm thankful for a best friend that I not only share a birthday with, but I share everything with (well not everything, but you get the picture).  She encourages the best, and the worst in me, with no qualms about how silly we look together when we're being awful.

I'm thankful for the caring sweet woman behind my girl.  I didn't think anyone could care enough as she does, and I am just glad that she does care, and loves me with all of her heart.

I'm thankful for the man who has shown me who a real father is, without even the benefit of being blood related.  A father, a friend, a person who, listens and understands, and lets me rant, and knows when to step back and let me wallow for a little bit with only the words "I love you, Daughter" left ringing in my mind.

I'm thankful for every opportunity I get to wake up each morning, and greet the world with either a "F you" or a smile, depending on how I feel, because I'm free to do so.  Not a day goes by I don't think about the soldiers who fought for that freedom, and still do today.

I'm thankful for, and it may sound silly, chocolate.  Without it, dark, sweet, semi-sweet, mint flavored or covering peanut butter, I surely would have killed someone by now.

And I think that's it for now.  It really is 6 am, and I find myself almost being thankful for just about everything and everyone right now.  I'm going back to bed.  Goodnight.

have you tried the Ghirardelli dark chocolate with raspberry filling yet? *eg*

What am I thankful for?

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband and my amazing daughter. Both of whom bring so much joy to my life.

I'm thankful that we can afford for me to be a stay at home mom so that I get to watch Kym grow into the impish bratty amazingly clever little girl she's becoming.

I'm thankful that other than this little setback here recently, I have been healthy.

I'm thankful for homeade pumpkin bread... and the way it makes the whole house smell good.

I'm thankful for my 18 year old neighbour who for some reason looks to me as a role model. She keeps me grounded, and remembering what's important in life. Because of her, I remember to set a good example all the time.. not just when I think people are watching.

I'm thankful that I have access to an amazing family like Tuchuk. That we support each other, and even if I haven't been able to be around, am still always greeted as Sister, and told that I was missed.

I am VERY thankful for the internet... without which I'd have gone stark raving bonkers by now as this is the only time I get to have adult conversations anymore.

I'm thankful that December 12th is getting closer every day, and that with each day that passes, it brings the date that Hubby comes home that much closer.

..and now I'm thankful for tylonol because it eases weather induced migraines. *goes to the closet to get some*

I am thankful for Life and the Freedom to live it.

I am also thankful for those that gave theirs for mine.

Ill add to that, that I am thankful to add my name to those that serve for that life and freedom to live it.

what am i thankful for?

some amazing kids, that happen to be mine.

for finding out that the closest friends you have in life, really are like family (even if they try to drown you).

for the two amazing goof balls that are the people who are behind the faces of my Owners, and all the love, they have so generously given.

for being lucky enough to have a job that i love, even on the days i swear i don't.

a Snuggle Buddy that always seems to have time in the middle of the night when sleep doesn't come.

for the ability to discover the woman inside, and the few who have no qualms with smacking some sense into a very thick skull when needed....



guess, when you get right down to it, yeah, i'm thankful for everyone and everything. without them, life wouldn't be the same.

[Terran]

I'm thankful for my biological family, without them I wouldn't be the man I am today.

I'm thankful for a wife, whom I love very much... because she understands my ups and downs, still loves me unconditionally, and was willing to procreate with me.

I'm thankful for my girl, whom I also love very much, because she is just as screwed up as I am...and who pounced on my bed at 5 am so I could see her.

I'm thankful for an online Father who cares enough for me to show me that I can and will do anything I put my mind to.

I'm thankful for all the friends I have made, without them I'm sure I would be elbow deep in shit with no way out.

I'm thankful for my best friend, without her I probably would be dead by now.

I'm thankful for the internet...cause without it I would be bored as hell.

I'm thankful for my job, because without it I wouldn't be able to support my wife and son.

And finally...I'm thankful for my online family...because without them I wouldn't be here, in Gor.

The things to be thankful for.....

my husband, I know living with me isn't easy.  But He has brought something to my life and made it beautiful instead of horrific.  there will never be enough I love yous for him.

my children,  they gave me a reason to live when all I wanted to do was quit and give up.  they are miracles in themselves.... now to survive them being young adults and having to let them make the same mistakes I did on their own without interfereing....

my step children, without them my husband would not be the loving husband and father that he is.  I'm still in prayer that they will one do become closer with their dad.

my dad,  who I didn't know or understand until I became a mother back in 1988.  He always seemed this distant person to me, but I see now how everything that he did was to give me and my brother and my mom what he could.

my mother, who taught me that no matter how bad it gets.... prayer and faith can help sustain you to you can fight your way through.  She showed me that despite illness and physical limitations you can do anything.

my grandmothers..my grandfathers.  they taught me that survival was key in everything.  you fight until your dead.. you can do alot with very little at times.

for the family of MTC, there are so many things to be thankful for..... but I think the best this is that there is always someone to listen  when things are rough.  someone to celebrate with you when things are good.  there is beauty in every little thing that goes on around us.

and yes I am even thankful for the bosk(brangus) currently grazing behind my house....the little sleen ((dogs)).  that are going crazy because they want to go play with the bosks.  and the giana ( that want nothing more than to be attention whores when awake and holy terrors when they sleep for disrupting them.

Happy thanksgiving

i must give thanks to evil and to cruelty and misfortune


because it was by the act of evil and cruel people that i lost my place to live
and a lost of my processions

.. and that caused me to discover the on line world..
the first room i stepped into was a gorean one...
and i have never regretted that for a moment..


it was another and far diffrent recent misfortune that made me homeless..
and the kindness of friends that has allowed
me to start rebuild my life

i must give thanks to the internet.. to this Home.. this dance of electrons..
this phosphor flicker  of eather...that has show me the best of Peoples and the finest and fastest of friends.. and an on line daughter that i cherish

Mainly i must give thanks to my Mistress.. She who saw me in darkness 
and plucked me into the light

She who has guided and trained me.. taught me to see the power that is within me..
She who has encouraged my growth as an artist..something that gives me great fulfilment and joy

this thread is not long enough.. nor the span of years left to me long enough
to number all the reasons that i have to give thanks to my One.. so i will conclude with a single one

my Mistress.. thank You for brining me to this Home.. Your Home.. strong and proud
and beautiful..i am honored to wear Your collar.. and honored that i am allowed to live here

thank You my Mistress.. thank You Ones and Alls

what I am thankful for?

I am thankful for being a part of this family. I was accepted without question or comment.

for having the opportunity to being able to talk to friends all around the world by way of the internet.
 
for the friends I have found the same way.

for helping Me to friends I thought I had lost over the years.

for those that give their life to protect the life that My family and I have.

for those that fight so that those that can not protect themselves feel safe.

for having employment that I can do.

for having a roof over My head and a bed to sleep in at night.

for the Family I have both up close and far away.

for everyday that I know and hear that My father is still breathing considering his illness.

for the Love in My life who knows and understands My quirks and accepts Me for who and how I am. I know that there are thinks I must work on but he still loves Me.

and last but most certainly not least.........

for My life, the heart that beats within My body, the breath that fills My lungs and the ability to enjoy life.

[Fishy!]

Wow this is a good thread......

I am thankful number one for My Boyfriend, he has suffered .... I mean enjoyed almost 4 years at My side and has held Me up when things were going bad, and helped Me to grow into a independent, self supporting Woman that I am now.

......... to His mother who welcomed me to the family with open arms, and whom I have never had a bad word to say about.

......... to Rags who really showed me how fun Gor could be, He let Me visit for an eternity and I loved every minuet, learning how a REAL GOREAN room should be, and who told me all the logistics behind a FC so that I would not get Myself collared.....

.........for Arlon who has shown me that You can find love at any age, and that children are such a blessing, and I thank him for being such a good sport when I tease him about Nascar....

........ to the girls that wear My collar, they have come to me for support both RT and VT and I have had to become stronger and wiser to be able to give them the support that they need.

....... all of Tuchuk who opened Their arms to Me and gave me a place to spend My time while I was battling My deamons so that I would not ever feel alone.

I am most thankful to My grandmother who passed last summer, with out Her love and support and Her yelling and screaming and Her steadfast determination that I would be a sucess no matter what, She was a fiesty old lady who was a fighter untill the end, She taught Me what it was to cry and laugh and to love and all of lifes little joys, I would be nothing without Her, I am thankful that She now rests in heaven.
