Today tim shared a motivational poster which said: The older I get the more I understand that it's okay to live a life other's don't understand. 

That made me think. While it is true many do not understand our D/s lifestyle, recently, I've found myself questioning it also. 

I do not believe D/s will ever be totally gone from us. But I have found that by easing back a little bit, life is more fun and more fulfilling. I have discussed these changes with tim; these lessening of the Rules. he seems fine with what has been happening. The change wasn't a decision, it's been organic, an evolution of sorts and it suits us. I believe it comes from changes in tim.  he is more confident, happier, stronger. These are things to encourage and reward, so I have had to change as well. 

But he will always be my boy, and I his, Sir.  he is still respectful and defers to me, but something is different, less rigid. It is there but I cannot pin down what it is exactly. However these changes manifest themselves may not stay within the D/s colouring book lines always. 

But you know what?  It's our life … your life … and it needs living the best we can.

Do what makes you happy. We most certainly are.
