...hope or change?
I have a couple of unrelated thoughts, which ought not come as a huge shock.
I heard a reference this morning but didn't catch the source...but somewhere, someone asked "A bridge to no-where is a national scandal, but a thousand bridges is a stimulus package?" I kinda like that one.
I heard yesterday, also on the radio, somebody talkin' about the cool-aid drinkers of "global warming/climate change" and described them as members of a new religion or cult. This was all in relation to the discussion of an article entitled (approximately) "Does either God or Al Gore really exist?"
Speaking of Al...he's supposed to testify to a subcommittee today about "Global warming", while Washington is suffering from some humongous ice storm. I don't suspect that your local media of choice will draw any connections between the two but they should be ashamed if they don't.
One of my blog-slog-writers is having a ...well...not problem but is struggling with the gap between fantasy and reality. In a post on the matter, she queries, "Can love get in the way of D/s?" . I didn't comment because my thoughts were/are less than fully formed but here's a smatter of my thoughts on the matter.
Yes...love can get in the way...it can't help but get in the way. You can hold-up or hold back because of concerns for your bottom and thus disappoint. Conversely, you can go way over the top because you expect that the bottom will want to please you and thus disappoint as well. So, sure, love can get in the way. But too, love is how you can find in yourself things that will serve your bottom.
I've played outside the home with some others and I've had mixed success. I lay the blame for failure at my inability to find that connection with the person. And, for the same reason, point to the connectedness of another relationship for it's success.
I know that the preceding is a bit short-hand but I hope you get the gist of what I'm thinking.
Anyhow, there's where I'm at today.

This line of yours today .... "love is how you can find in yourself things that will serve your bottom. " roused me out of my lethargy and made my numb brain start to percolate again......
who knows maybe a post will come out of all this percolating..
