Grandma always said, "Don't borrow trouble, it can find you easily enough." There was also something about a box of chocolates, but I'll leave that to Forrest...

But remember when your Momma used to say "A watched pot never boils?" Well...she was wrong of course because it does eventually boil...but that kind of blows the message, doesn't it?
Those two were actually very popular with my mother...along with "You have a head like a sieve".
Thankfully all that I have learned has not leaked through the holes...the important things are still in here somewhere.
It has taken a while, but yes, I think I am in a good place right now. My lack of patience and her unwillingness to talk about the R and marriage still get the best of me sometimes, but I can't deny the fact that the last several weeks have brought some sort of calmness and normalcy to our lives.
The "what ifs", "how comes" and "whys" are in the back of my head rather than the tip of my tongue(fingers?).
I suppose somewhere inside I still hold those worries that nothing has really changed for her close. That is more because over the last several months, even with the drama, she has remained so close and consistent in her behavior.
At times that didn't allow me to see the subtle changes in the way she acts towards me...the little gestures and the words I was missing.
Also...I have a "face" from a while ago, but have not used it...little confused as to how to find all you guys...I will work on that.
