I was so excited this morning. My little man reached up for the first time to ask me to take him out of his crib. And just to make sure it wasn't by chance, I put him back in and he did it again ..... and twice more since then!!
As a mom, I get sooooooo excited by these little steps. For my boy, they're big accomplishments and I love to celebrate his successes with him.
Why, as adults, do we forget to celebrate the steps we take. In recovery, it is those small and minute steps forward that actually lead us to a healthier place but somehow we get so caught up in the bigger picture, that we forget to be excited.
So today I challenge you to celebrate the tiniest step where you've had success. And I don't mean in a small way, but make it a BIG celebration!! Go on, share it with us here so we can all cheer and clap for you; maybe go buy yourself some flowers or that CD you've been wanting for the longest time. You deserve it ..... that small step means progress!!!!
Here's to the small victories ..... I can't wait to see what my son does next and I also can't wait to hear about your successes!!!
