When i think of 'serving' i think its not so much about being anticpating when he is about to ask for something but rather making things just easier for him in ways that he appreciates.
ReplyDeleteLike when he is busy and needs to get on, i try to ensure the house is not a hive of activity and im not disturbing him for anything that cant wait.
Sometimes i just pick up from his mood, looks, etc that he wants something from me and i offer myself.

Well, for what it's worth, some Masters don't want that presumptive service - anticipating needs. That can be taken as topping from the bottom. Some Masters prefer to have you follow orders instead. (shrug) So maybe you're better at all this than you think!

I know he does like it if I manage to anticipate something, and if I'm not sure what he wants he does like it when I ask. To him that is not topping from the bottom, it's just being helpful or useful. He is thrilled if he says "I'd like you to do X" and I say, "I have already done it, Master". I get a smile and a "Good slave". :) :)
ReplyDeleteTori, you're right, sometimes the best service is just sitting quietly so he can get work done, or whatever he wanted to do to relax.
Sometimes I over anticipate and I can tell I am annoying him just a bit so I back off. I too do much better with following direct orders but as time goes on I can antcipate SOME things better and I am assuming it will get even easier with time.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there is nothing like getting that "good slave" acknowledgements.
I definitely have more of a problem under anticipating than over anticipating.
