New year, new thread, new attitude!

I kind of like your idea of going to bed on your schedule, and letting him figure it out! But that may be a bit of a passive aggressive tact, now that I really think about it. Hmmmm....

[new_attitude]

Is it passive agressive? I've never been too sure of what that means exactly. I look at it as doing something for me, getting to bed earlier, and not trying to crowd h when he's around. Good DBing, right?

If you feel you need more sleep, then it's totally good DBing - you're taking care of yourself.

A cheerful goodnight and off you go - nothing wrong with that!

Quick update: we had a JC session this morning- our first since before Christmas. It went so well, C sees so much progress between us. I was so relieved to have h confirm that he sees things improving too. I've been worrying that it's just my imagination, so I feel like I got some confirmation that I'm/we're doing well.

Our C always ends the session by hugging each of us (is that strange?), so today after we left I felt like I should give h a hug too. I did and he reciprocated and gave me a small kiss on the lips. It's been a long time since our lips touched.

Glad to hear the session went well. Remember to keep your expectations to zero. It can be hard after something positive.
I love the kiss part. Sigh.

Thanks Grace for the reminder to keep my expectations low. I don't know if I can go down to zero, but I will try to keep them low. It's hard not to get my hopes up, but I have to try to be patient. Be patient. Be patient. Be patient. [Repeat as often as necessary!]

[Virtually_Handsome]

I think hope and expectations are different things! I think you can hang on to your hopes, just don't expect them to be fulfilled tomorrow!

[new_attitude]

Good point Jeff. I think I have alot of hope, but am trying not to expect too much.

[Virtually_Handsome]

That sounds healthy, to me!

((((new_attitude)))))

Thanks for coming to visit!

Wow, NA - it really does sound like things are going well for you. A hug and a kiss.....

Sigh.

Sometimes it is the little things that you miss....

Keep up the good work. Sounds like there is a lot of peeking going on!
