She is in a better mood more often. Problem with that is I have slipped and shared a story or two about my day when I was mostly listening and validating. I let my guard down. Maybe it's a good thing. I just don't want to slip into a new normal that is not adequate.
I am on record multiple times as stating that the move from limbo to R is gradual, natural and organic. Rarely is there a big bang event. And it involves the LBS too. I know in my case as my W got more receptive, as her actions became consistent, as she began to show she was giving up leaving the MR, i naturally starting opening up more and starting doing more "sharing". So don't feel that you can't do that. If she is showing signs of real change, consistently, overtime, then feel free to be more engaging. Keep it light and fun. That went a long way with my W.
Keep up the good work!
