Tell her that if you are mad, you will say so. Ask her to take things at face value. Tell her that she doesn't need to worry about your feelings. Ask her also, to tell you if she is in distress about anything at all. No matter how small.

Now, when she talks to you about ANYTHING, weather, politics, sports, love, the neighbors....

you look her in the eye, smile, nod, & THINK TO YOURSELF "man do I love her". Then, when she's done.......thank her for talking to you. If she'll let you, take her hand, stare into her eyes & say "thank you, W, for talking to me & explaining things to me, I really appreciate it".

Homework assignment #1. lol Good luck.

Ready2change....you popped into my head right away.



If W ever talks to me again....
