Little Things Mean a Lot
Small Successes vol. 18
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Thursday, May 21, 2009 6:00 AM
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.
To participate, just write up a list of 3 of your recent Small Successes and post it on your blog along with the Small Successes button (go here to get the code). You are not required to use the button, but please do link back to the main post here. Then you can add your blog here using the Mr. Linky form (please link to the individual blog post, not the home page of your blog).
If you don’t have a blog, please share your Small Successes in the comments.
To get us started, here are my small successes for this week:
1. The toy boxes. They have been condensed. And why no, my dear children, this has nothing to do with those stuffed black trash bags I hauled out to the shed yesterday. Nothing at all.
2. I started getting lax with my regular exercise routine a couple of weeks ago, but this week I’m back in the saddle—pumping iron and loving my Gazelle.
3. I finally believe that the heating season is over. I cleaned the wood stove and the bricks around it. I felt like Mike Rowe. It’s a very dirty job, but now it’s done till the fall. Wheee!
Now it’s your turn. I love reading everyone’s entries—please share all the small ways you’ve succeeded this week.

We’ve cleaned our woodstove too, and though the weather is SUPPOSED to stay warm, I have some doubts this year. Never mind that it’s almost June. That said, don’t they look so lovely when they’re all cleaned and quietly perching in the corner? Ours turns into a bit of a table in the hot weather…not a good habit to break in the fall!

I posted mine on my blog - I can’t find Mr. Linky….I guess I’m a little backwards today LOL!
GREAT list Danielle!!! Good for you. Man, I want a Gazelle…..
Good for you on the exercise! It’s hard to jump back into it when you’ve been out of the routine. I know I’m having a hard time with this myself.
