"It’s important for moms 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."
I am really in a place this week, just frustrated and out of sorts to be completely honest. I have been so busy honoring commitments outside my home that the inside has just gone to hell in a hand basket! Sorry, but it's true. I am struggling to recognize any successes this week. I know I had one but the rest are a serious stretch. So here we go...
1.
I filled the deep freeze with meals that will feed our family for several weeks. With this go round I will be honest and say it was a bit overwhelming. I didn't plan as well and I started really late in the day so by the end I was totally exhausted and had to continue cooking the next day.
Still...I did it and now I have a little more time during my day to see to the other needs of my family and home.
2.
I figured out what to get my son for his 21st birthday next month. I know that this may seem silly but he is a difficult person to shop for so when I figure out a gift/surprise that I know he will love, I get a little excited.
3.
Hmmmm...ahhhhhh...wellll...
Yep. That's it. That's all I've got.
Blessings and Grace.

Mary, you are always in my prayers and more so this week as I can read in your words the frustration and feelings of not living up to your own expectations. Here is your 3rd success: you are realizing what is happening and you are not giving up. God Bless you! Kristen
ReplyDeleteHey, will my son like the gift you're getting for Jonathan? LOL
ReplyDeleteBeen there. Felt that. Hey, for two weeks in a row one of my successes has been resisting the temptation to cut my bangs!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you this morning.
{{{HUGS}}} & definitely prayers for you, Mary! I completely understand #2. There are some people who are so tough to buy for, that finding that perfect gift is a cause for celebration in itself!
