Pride

It had been a difficult week. She was anxious to return to a positive state of mind. She thought back over the past for a memory that might provide her with sustenance. Nothing came.

There must have been something...something positive about even this week...something.

And, then she remembered his comment and the memory of it gave her a warm glow.For one, brief shining moment, she had done something right. She searched again for the exact words he had used and they returned to her. She rolled them around in her head until they sat comfortably in a resting place and warmed the cockles of her heart.

“I’m very proud of your persistence and motivation to pursue training.”

Yes, that is what he had said. She smiled her first genuine smile for the day. She was lucky to have met him. She wanted him to know that. She sat down to write.

  1. Finding those precious words of encouragment and acknowledgment of all that we strive for is so very important during our training. I'm glad that your Owner knows how to seduce you into working hard to maintain your "good girl" status.

    hugs to you, Vesta.
