So today, although it started out a bit sad since Brett wasn&#8217;t able to make it up here for the holiday, I decided to make it a fairly productive one and spent it catching up on a few projects around the house and taking NiteFlirt calls. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I also spent some time thinking about a couple of things for which I am gratful and other reasons to celebrate.\u00a0 I actually had an amazingly fun day yesterday playing with my sweet little god daughter, running around the park, playing on the swings and finishing the evening with a delightful tea party. I rarely talk about her here because it is not the right forum for it but that child is the most loving, compassionate and purely delightful soul that I have ever met\u00a0and she is key\u00a0source of joy and inspiration in my life for which I am ever grateful.<\/p>\n<p>I will also be celebrating\u00a0our one year anniversary with my Brett this week. Although we actually originally met more like 8 years ago, we have chosen the date that we first played intimately to be the one that will mark the years.\u00a0 I am missing him tonight and I think I am going to call it an early night .. since he\u00a0promises to be here when I awake in the morning, so the sooner I go to sleep. the sooner I will see him again.\u00a0 Sweet Dreams all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I definitely have an optimistic nature and generally if there is even a glimmer of a silver cloud to be&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/?p=2470\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Reasons to Celebrate<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2470\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
