It’s summer. I thought things were supposed to SLOW DOWN in the summer. Instead, it feels like the past week flew by and left me behind in a dusty little heap in the corner clutching my laptop, yelling at my kids, my only meaningful conversation with my dog. (he never talks back) So today, as we begin a new week I look back and cling to the little victories I managed to scrape out over the past week – and pray I can build on these and maybe have a wee bit more fun in the days ahead. Today I celebrate the little things:
There was enough cream left in the container for 1 more coffee. Okay, just half a coffee but I’ll take it.
I caught the fruit fly infestation at the very beginning of their brutal invasion.
I made muffins and only ate one, okay two.
It’s been raining for days but I did find a $20.00 bill in my raincoat.
I broke my phone charger but found a spare!
Both daughters were working on the same day – this equals a spontaneous date night for me and Hubby.
I found the pack of gum in my pocket before it went into the washing machine. Good grief that could have been a mess.
That number on the scale went DOWN! I’m pretty sure the scale is broken but who the hell cares.
Less than a week until the next cottage getaway. The lake calls.
There was enough toilet paper left on the roll that I wasn’t forced to choose between drip dry or Glamour Magazine!
Sometimes you just have to take joy in life’s little victories! Hope you all have a fabulous week and find a little something to smile about.
I find as I get older, this approach to life becomes a necessary one
The little victories are always the sweetest!
Focusing on the little victories instead of the bad stuff makes like so much more pleasant. Thanks for the inspiration (and the smile).
I was thrilled this week when I saw that my hubby had actually changed the toilet paper roll. Life’s little victories :).
I talk to my dog too and I hate bugs too because they can make you miserable
Score with the money in the raincoat! That’s always a nice surprise! I love these lists of all the little things that need to be appreciated
I was not lucky enough to catch the jelly beans in my grandson pocket before it went into the washing machine,what a mess!
Fruit fly infestation is the worst!
My husband thought I could use a switch in my coffee beans and picked me up some from the market – and they’re great!
I think this is a great post – definitely a great reminder for us
LOL! I think we all should slow down and celebrate little things like these
Nothing better than going into a jacket you haven’t worn for a bit and finding money! Better than a used tissue.
Darn those fruit flies! Do you have a good tip to prevent their invasion?
Hubby left this morning for a week with his brothers and I have the house to myself. I can eat what I want this week.
My victories this morning,I slept all night without waking to pee and the scale is done 1.8 lbs….going to be a great day !
