I did tweak it a bit after mouse pointed out it sounded like I was saying submission was a vacation. Lord knows it ain't lol.<br /><br />Kytten, thank you. I think that's one of the things that is most misunderstoon about submission--that they can't always be Dominant over everything and it takes strength of character to help fill in the gaps and keep things going as they should.<br /><br />Tapestry, Yea, I very much like getting my own way...Which begs the question of how in the hell I ended up being the "s" in a D/s relationship lol. But it keeps things balanced.<br /><br />Stormy, I agree. It does take strength and understanding. To a certain extent, I think you have to have the ability to own yourself before you can really give it to another person.Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613795542678253943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-85050400434012236772011-05-17T01:31:02.412-06:002011-05-17T01:31:02.412-06:00Some wonderful thoughts here.

He wants my complete submission and I choose to give it to him. I think it takes a great strength, and understanding of myself to travel this road. To obey another human being. To surrender to their will. To lay your body down to be punished for not following where you are led. Submissive is far from weak. And as you said, it is when I am at a weak point that I fail at submission, because it takes such determination and mental stamina.Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673792378276047115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-43912124715586289442011-05-16T13:52:52.078-06:002011-05-16T13:52:52.078-06:00Lovely post, excellent comments too.
The thing tha...Lovely post, excellent comments too.<br />The thing that stuck in my head was that since I am so very dominant elsewhere (as a mother, the boss in my workplace, and just naturally in many other places and with many other people,) that I am quite used to getting my own way. Quite used to that indeed. It sometimes takes every ounce of strength I can dredge up to submit to Master. (Why on earth should I do "it" His way or do what He wants? I should be able to have my own way!)<br />Submitting one's will to someone else is no easy task, and while in some ways it can be a reprieve from having to be in charge all the time, in other ways it can just be excruciating to have to bend.<br />But in that is the victory I think. Having enough self-control to allow someone else to be in charge helps me to grow. And stretches me, and keeps me humble, and open-minded, and helps me to know what it's like to NOT be in charge (so I can treat others better.) Submitting to Him helps me learn that I can't always have my own way, but that it's OK. The world won't end. Submitting helps me to keep things in perspective and keeps me from becoming a spoiled brat.<br />It feels good, and meets a need, but I don't think it's a picnic nor a vacation.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br />TapestryTapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168751514565148748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-17764891537002060722011-05-16T12:38:05.697-06:002011-05-16T12:38:05.697-06:00Beautiful, lil.

I also have the most trouble submitting when i'm at my weakest, just as Lyon finds it hardest to be Dominant when He is at His weakest. I never thought about that, but it does suggest that it takes strength and control to submit.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />kyttenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-60885569782904156372011-05-16T10:42:58.821-06:002011-05-16T10:42:58.821-06:00I am undone by your words, Lil.

It seems to me that when I'm at my weakest state (worn down,crazy, frazzled woman) is when I have the most difficulty submitting. I tend to try to gain control. It takes a certain amount of power to surrender to another person.<br /><br />Love,<br />SerenitySerenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885913777602699200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-67750345747303224322011-05-16T08:15:30.641-06:002011-05-16T08:15:30.641-06:00Hmmm, good point.

Maybe I'll add to it a bit since Iv'e got a little coffee in me lol.Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613795542678253943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-90400328614759745142011-05-16T07:54:02.519-06:002011-05-16T07:54:02.519-06:00Was gunna suggest something, regarding the font is...Was gunna suggest something, regarding the font issue, but it wouldn't help. ;-)<br /><br />As to the rest...dunno if mouse would make submission sound like its just a mental vacation from a demanding life. The ability to stand up for yourself or give direction aren't only dominant traits. The truth is we all submit (Doms too) to something. <br /><br />Coming around to this in a very poor way (not enough coffee maybe). <br /><br />Hugs,<br />mousemousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667539092853565037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393795333438979432.post-1373352222035536842011-05-16T07:38:49.313-06:002011-05-16T07:38:49.313-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667539092853565037noreply@blogger.com
