Piecing is almost harder than before...

The text wasn't much, just "hey want to have dinner @ _____, ily?" But that's twice today that she reached out to me instead of me to her. I know the content isn't much, but it's a shift over the last couple of days.

I think she is getting there when I smooth out the peaks and valleys of day to day and look at the "averages" of the last weeks. That's the hard part, I look at the peaks and valleys. Kinda like the stock market. One day could be great; one days should be crappy, but none that matters really. What matters is the trend over time -- is it up or down? Got to be better about that.

but also the frequency of the valleys. Have there been less of them or further apart?

I see my valleys too but focus on the peaks and hope there are more of them.
