Small Successes and Thankful Thursday

Top o' the morning to ya!!! Today is a GREAT day to be thankful and celebrate the little things we accomplish during the week when one feels like nothing gets done!

"It’s important to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that."

1. I ran my 5k!! I almost did not, because the morning of I was so tired. I was like, "oh well." But something inside me just made me get up. I had not pre-registered so skipping the race would have been fine, but now I'm THRILLED I did it. I shaved a little off my personal "best" (haha...I'm not fast) and came in at 37:35. It was empowering to run, and I'm so glad I did it!!

2. I've managed to survive last week. Does that count? HAHA! Last week was not one of my favorite weeks for MANY reasons - most importantly all the procedures and surgeries, and then for other reasons - comments, mistakes on my end, etc. This week has been more restful and focused. I'm moving ahead, filled with the Spirit and my chin up!!!

3. I've been trying to give more to my hubby this week and reconnect. With the addition of the baby I've felt like we've been a great team.....a wonderful team...of roommates. I wanted to change that this week and be his wife again, not just spouse and mother. I had to dig deep, try to find the "former girlfriend" of years past, and just stretch myself some. I don't want our kids to graduate high school, leave our home, and us look at each other and go "well, that was great, they turned out well - but who are you again?" I hope I can keep it up. It honestly can be tiring!!
