Small Successes


"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."

1) At the Women's Conference on Saturday, I went to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This was a HUGE step for me as I have not been in a LONG, LONG time.

2) I loaded up the back of our van (& the passenger seat) yesterday w/ about 1/2 of the recyclables from our garage & took them to the fire station's drop off. They've been piling up lately & we haven't been able to make it because of the snow.

3) Several times this past week, I've had the opportunity to respond to Casinodad in a not-so-nice way, but consciously chose not to.

What's your week been like? Check out Faith and Family Live to share & see other successes.

oooh, #3 is big for me...I need to work on that....good for you!

What a great week overall. Sounds like you've attacked some bog things, and I'm really proud of you! Thanks for your inspiration!

Much love!

Great job - I went back to Confession a few years ago after a very long time and it was so hard! But it was exactly the motivation I needed to make sure it was so long between confessions.

Yay for Confession!! It probably helped with #3 :D (which, by the way, is a huge success). I've got a bunch of stuff I've been struggling with lately, so your post inspired me to head back to the Sacrament this Saturday. Thanks!!

Good job on #3, saying something nice or saying nothing at all is a constant battle for me.
