Faith & Family has a regular Thursday meme called Small Successes. They describe it as follows:

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’m trying to put more focus on the positive these days so let me share what went well this week:

1. I started a new fitness program with JR that requires 75 minutes of high intensity workouts six days a week. We are into our third week and I’ve only missed one workout (due to illness). It feels really good to be so active and even better to spend 75 extra minutes a day with my workout buddy.

2. I got our belated Christmas/New Years’ cards out this week.

3. I got my sewing tub out from the back corner of a closet and was re-inspired to make some baby blankets for several friends who have just had new babies. Nothing fancy here – just some flannel swaddling blankets, but something soft & something homemade.
