Serving Smartly

What a busy time this is!

Going back to work tomorrow and the kids will all be here thru the 2nd or 3rd of Jan...i've noticed that as much as i give, and i do it joyfully, and it is lots (as a mom does for kids, and wives sometimes do for husbands), i still find that i have a long way to go before i put the needs of general other people before me. What i mean is that i can improve on my servant attitude, i think.

Maybe this is something other than submitting to One. i know there must be balance and i know that a submissive does not need to give and give and give always to anyone for anything (this may be what we do, tho, until we have someone to serve?). Maybe a wonderful effect of serving a dominant makes it possible to use smart boundaries with the others in my life so i am not just burning out serving willy-nilly.
