Glad I reminded myself of those empathetic listening skills...I have needed them, and used them to apparently good effect. W has been talking to me longer about all sorts of things with her work, the kids, etc. She was even dancing around R talk, so we talked some on that subject...agreements on SBT, some finacial attitude clearing up, some understandings reached for things from the past.
She has been working full time this week temporarily, I have been very understanding when she comes home about her being tired and all...I get that, been doing it for 24+ years.
I have been seeing more and more of "old" W mannerisms, expressions, eye contact, more "peaceful" the past week...tonight she was much like her old self when I left to go chill at my office..."regular" replies, voice, smiles and such, rather than cold, indifferent, "whatever"...
So, I have this positive, but cautious, feeling in my gut...I could be wrong, and if so, that's okay too.
Continuing to sit quietly, doing "me" the best I can, teamwork, etc. Aloof, yet available.
Make a great weekend, all!!!....garden here I come for mid-summer fall veggie sowing...
