BobbiJo, Sounds pretty positive. It's all about expections (aka patience). It's weird how our WAS go up and down sometimes. If you are comfortable with status quo and you see some positives hang in there. One of my buddies once told me that the secret to being happy is to have low or no expectatons. I thought it was an odd way of looking at things but you know, after all we have been through, those may be words to live by. I may even take it outside the relationship arena and to other facets of my life....that is what he does and it seems to work for him.
