Pam...... the messages that Pattie and Alaska have said here today are exactly what I would say to you too....
I have been off the bb for a month and have come back with a VERY fresh perspective.

I can see an enourmous amount of growth in you and you must remember to look at your self and see that too.

Actually it is an amazing thing to see...and I've never even met you!

Don't keep looking to him to be the temperature taker of how you are doing.....look for yourself to see if you are sending too many IM or going into subjects the way you don't want to, etc.
I know you want to be sensitive to him but remember you are the best determiner for your actions...don't make him responsible........take that responsibility for yourself....and he will see the difference even more.....

Keep striving for the best "you" that you can be and don't worry too much about what he wants you to be....

YOU are a terrific creation!! and you are just who you are suppose to be......

My goodness, I can't tell you enough how amazed I am!

BIG HUG!!
