Don't make to much of it, just start communicating again (if that is waht you really want). Don't talk about fixing your relationship. She may not be aware there is a problem. If she thinks there is, you will just reinforce it.

Send her a short funny or interesting story about something that happened recently. I'll give you one.

We just got back from vacation in the Hudson Valley. One of the places we visited was Sunnyside, the home of Washington Irving (Legend of Sleepy Holly, Rip Van Winkle). Turns out that before the Civil War he was big, like Elvis big. People bought dinner plates with pictures of Sunnyside on them (like Graceland). So he has this nice little estate right on the Hudson river where he entertained other famous authors and foriegn dignataries.

But then the railroad laid tracks between his house and the river. He raised hell, but they had imminant domain on their side. He was a big enough deal that they paid him off with about $6000, but the real payoff was a whistle stop at his house. He could flag down any train and it would stop and pick him up.

Couple more facts
He was the first American author to fully support himself with writing.
He was also embassidor to Spain for a while (or something like that).
