Over the past couple of years, He Who Must Be Obeyed has produced, as a Christmas stocking filler for me, a calendar for the New Year. It’s one of those ones where you can upload your own photographs for each month, so you have a lovely reminder of what you have done the whole of the next year.
I love them. I love the care that goes into choosing the images, the thrill I get as the end of the month approaches and I can look forward to the new picture, which will represent a time in my life where I was really enjoying myself and with people who mean a lot to me.
In a way, that calendar is a physical representation of how lucky I am. How, despite my life sometimes being sad, irritating, unhappy and downright annoying, I am blessed. I am blessed with an adoring husband, a lovely Lover, some amazing friends and some excellent kink play. So what if I don’t have the career I always thought I would, that sometimes I don’t get the play I want or the attention I crave. There are moments in my year that are as close to perfection as I could ever want them to be. And my calendar is a reminder of this. It’s my happiness measure.
I would love to post some of the pictures here for all of you to see. Sadly, although I’m open about what I look like, many of the people in my life, including HWMBO and The Lover are not, so I can’t. But I can assure you all that every time I make a cup of tea in our kitchen and this month’s picture catches my eye, I smile and remember how good it was and how much good is still to come.
Lucky lucky me!
Jessica, now that’s more like it.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Awww that’s so lovely. It’s a great idea and I enjoyed looking through this year’s one. Here’s to more great memories!

I can’t tell you how much this post made me smile. I love that calender, I remember seeing last year’s one and thinking it was awesome, and now I get to be on this one! My fave photo is the one of me and another lovely girlie covered in oil, in bikinis, with the biggest, most real smile on my face. Thank you for reminding me how lucky we all are, despite some of the shit that goes down!
