one more thing.... making eye contact is about connection ... so when I can do that, i know that I am connecting more with her ... it is being brave ... it's a safe space to learn to do this... and i do want her to see me and i know she sees more of me when I am looking at her and connecting with her. i feel it makes our relationship stronger.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.
Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.
Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
~Venerable Lama Gendun Rinpoche~
