XYZ is here, but I won't be staying...

[XYZ]

A bit of clarity this morning.....

(1) I need to keep doing what has worked, GAL, don't chase - let her chase me, no neediness, etc. Only problem here is where to draw the line on time together and when to initiate that.

(2) Remember the cat. The cat wants to play, but she's not curled up in my lap (yet). Don't jump at her and scare her off. Small, reassuiring gestures but nothing big or fast.

(3) Patient. She said "baby steps". She said "go slow". She said "take our time". Her actions are consistent with her words (for the first time in 10 months, lol). Why do I want them to be faster? She's doing what she said she'd do. Let her do it at her pace.

X out.
