Sounds like life is going forward for you and you are enjoying it. That's a good thing.
It also sounds like your interactions with H have improved a little bit. Maybe it's not some earth-shattering thing, but any improvement, no matter how small, should be recognized. I think we all get caught up in what is happening at this particular moment and sometimes fail to see that what happened in the past was much worse than what is happening now. I find that re-reading my own posts in these forums help me to see how bad things were in the past, and also to see the incremental positive signs that have taken place since then.
In my sit I'm not even aiming for R right now - I've reevaluated my goals to have a cordial relationship with my W, regardless of how the outcome is. A lot of people here don't like the idea of being "friends" with their WASs but I am determined that I will have at least that kind of relationship with my WAW. (Of course I never say that out loud, but it is one of my goals)
So glad you got to take a trip you really wanted to do.
