The Small Stuff

FaithButton

Last night, my husband and I were feeling quite overwhelmed at the amount of responsibilities that we have before, during, and after the Easter season. The details are suffocating. While we were sitting there being daunted by the shear size of the tasks that lay before us, we realized that it was time to stop spending our time feeling sorry for ourselves and start working at accomplishing our tasks. We had some small victories and it felt really good to know that we had achieved success no matter how small.

This week, there were some important successes.

1.Brownies. I made Coffee Almond Brownies for the choir tonight. They needed something to take the performance edge off and recommit to a great Easter.

2.Potty Victory. The oldest used the potty at school successfully and the potty outside the house again. Yeah!

3.Emails. I have been really unable to email our friends that live far away. This week I was able to get started on catching up.


Sometimes all we have are the small successes, but it feels really good to remind yourself how much you have accomplished.

Quick reminder to all those Being Bookish members out there: Get a copy of Big Russ and Me soon. We begin discussions in 1 week.
