There is a wonderful woman who was in my life almost daily. We never argued, are on the same wavelength, and seem to know each others minds. Maybe a little too well.

I'm frustrated because I want it to work out, even though I accept (95%) that that won't happen. More so because what we had still feels special to me, and I know it does to her. Not contacting her is an almost daily exercise in self control.

Today it has been frustrating because there are small things changing in my life for the better, which I know sharing with her would make me happy, make her happy for me, and that would make me even happier. Yet if I share these things with my friends, they just don't get why it's important to me.

I've been "working" on improving my relationships with my friends and family, to somewhere close to what I had with my ex. The problem is it is "work", it is requiring courage and time. With her, these things were so easy.

So, can anyone help with what I could be doing?

Thanks,
Swannie

(The other factor today, is that I needed to take yesterday and today off of running due to a sore ankle. The 13miles or so on my schedule would have worked a lot of this out!)
