Ann,

Haven't been on-line a lot, but I was thinking about you today and wondering how you're doing.

I hope you and family are all making it through the winter OK. (I know 'winter' is different for you than us in New England!)

Quick update. We're doing great, W is expressing confidence in our future, we're communicating like we never have with each other. Big challenges don't seem insurmountable and we are working together so much more. Everything is about 'what works or worked, how can we keep doing what works, and what do we do to replace things that didn't work?' and we are BOTH thinking that way.

Long story short, we've gone from ILYBINILWY to spontaneous ILYs, hugs, etc. and we're making significant plans for our future (as in moving out your way, we both love the Santa Monica area.)

You are one of the folks I credit for giving me encouragement, and even some direction. I don't know when I'll be back on again, but know that I appreciate it and wish the best for you in your journey!
