Jeff, It's good to be hopeful, but I think your expectations were set a bit too high. Drop the expectations back down to zero and step back for a while. Believe it or not, your wife can sense the changes and that may have scared her a bit. Give her a bit more space and just let things be. Focus more on you and your interests and allow her to come to you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
