I was referring more to 'the universe' as opposed to the board since there had been a lot of chatter about prdictability; positive effect of WOA's and my "love my wife comment' that drew tears. I was also talking about how it might be in my best interest if she DIDN'T come out of the fog just yet as I was NOT READY.
And here we are.

I liked this visual. I suppose I was sudenly panicking that, since I'd had a few successes showing results, I worried I would lose an opportunity to keeping putting holes in with EVERY interaction. Unrealistic. And likely too high in EXPECTATION.
TIME......
Detachment.......
Consistency........

Agreed. Aware of it as I can already feel it. Again, this goes back to "I'm not ready yet" And I know that. Despite Puppy's comment about "The Advanced Class", it is as you mentioned, only two months since I landed here and barely 5 weeks since the confirmation of A and subsequent exposure. I'm feeling the short time frame now and recognizing that I'm not ready for "The FINAL"
