He has now been texting me about watching certain channels on TV - a comedy. It's really sweet thinking that he is watching the same thing I am watching. I had to share that here because I don't want to get all gushy with him (too soon).

When I see that I put all my control issues on a leash, life gets easier, and I get lighter.

It reminds me, maybe I will do a list of what works baby steps tomorrow just to keep my motivation up in this process. Has anyone else done that kind of list?
