i dont think Master gave me any rituals to do in the days before meeting him, however, i did redecorate my entire house, painted it, and obsessively cleaned every little corner of it, went through every storage box I had and got rid of my old life in the month preceeding his arrival. That was a type of ritual for me, it was sweeping away my old life and preparing for Master to enter it. Everything i did i thought to myself, I'm doing this for Master. I went shopping and bought food i knew he liked and stocked the cupboards. I made an outfit to pick him from the airport in. All this kinda stuff was ritualistic to me.
I agree that this sentiment is very beautiful.
I experienced something early in my relationship with my sig other that I think reflects the same sentiment: I happened to be at the grocery store with my mother when she mentioned that she had been there late in the previous week and that the checker had forgotten to place a certain item in her bag. I was pretty high coming off of a visit with my Dominant. He had actually just spoken to me about showing a higher level of grace toward the people in my life as an act of giving to him. My mother looked at me and sort of sheepishly said she wondered if I would possibly go to the manager's office and ask the person there if I could have a replacement item...mentioning at that time that she did not have her receipt any longer. It was an item that cost several dollars. She very quickly recanted and said "Oh no, never mind you dont want to to do that". I decided in about an instant that, even though the idea of asking for a replacement product when I had absolutely no proof one was purchased to begin with was hugely embarassing to me, I would do it for Daddy. I approached the service desk, and the line was very long. I stood in line, about to do what would normally cause me some major angst, with a big smile on my face. I just told myself over and over, Im doing this for Daddy. I finally had my turn and of course they didnt give me any flack at all and just told me to get a replacement product, which they marked with a PAID sticker. It wasnt a big deal, but if I hadnt been "doing it for Daddy" I probably would have looked at it in a completely different, and less pleasant light and may not have volunteered to do it at all.
I enjoy the calmness I am able to attain, even in his absence, by "Doing it for Daddy."
Thanks so much for sharing. I wonder if anyone in an ongoing LDR uses ritual before each meeting? I will continue to watch for posts, Thanks again.
