Thanks, both of you guys found them. Instructive trajectory to your story, Puppy...
Quick journal:
W called on her way home to her place from work. She asked briefly about kids (I have them tonight), then shared highlights of her day with me for 20 mins on her way home from work. Longer than the 5-7 minute calls she used to make a month ago that only involved her asking about the kids. She was in a happy vibe telling me the stories and having just had dinner with a couple of girl friends. She appreciated my suggestion of downloading voice-guided meditation or background music MP3's for her meditation nook that she is now starting for herself as a daily AM activity at her place. She also called me a couple of other times during day to touch base about random things. Back on 6/24 I had written as a "take stock" baby step that I would like for her to talk to me positively about something in one of our lives other than the girls, and I would say that baby step has been reached.
I also received a nice thank you card from her and a few hugs for helping her with her surgery process, and one of the baby steps I wrote on 6/24 was that I would like her to thank me warmly when I do something for her, so that one has been met or is beginning to be met.
May need to update my take stock baby steps in the next week or two, hope so....
