I think things have changed a little this week. SOme things I have noticed. 1. She told work she needed to leave and go out to dinner on Monday night with us. It wasn't planned. I was cutting the lawn and my D yelled "hey Moms coming home to take us to dinner." It was a great night and great food. 2. She has been pretty talking to me during the week about a free puppy. We lost our Boxer last November to old age and it hurt me a lot. Im a huge Boxer fan and she was my dog. It just happened she talked with someone at work looking to find a good home for a male boxer puppy. I know she like a bigger dog for protection but I think she knew how much we like boxers. 3. I gave her a rub on the arm and leaned in. She kissed me pretty hard. It wasnt just a peck to get me to go away. 4. She hugged me goodbye this morning and squeezed me hard for a good 20 seconds.
I will try not to read to much into it but it was a nice week after all. I am also taking the advice of the Dahli Lama writings regarding expectations. Simply do not have any because we only get upset when we build expectations in our head and they dont play out the way we wished. To not have any expectations in mind things are pleasant surprises instead. its not easy but it works for me.
