That’s so awesome! There’s something about being self sufficient that can boost your self esteem in a way nothing else can. Congratulations on that. And I’m so happy you realized that you got out of the house without it being a struggle. That is a huge success, even if it seems insignificant. I’m celebrating with you.

My latest achievement was kind of a big deal for me. I was interviewed for a documentary about the things that led to my diagnosis of PTSD. I opened up on camera about some sad, horrifying, depressing, and ugly experiences from my past. But the most important part of that is this: I did so without breaking down, having flashbacks, or having my self esteem plummet. In fact, I felt strong and liberated all day long because of it.

Here’s to the little success stories in our lives. <3

I, too, want all results right now! And I’m quick to overlook little accomplishments while I strive for the bigger ones. I read recently that there is joy to be working in harmony with everything in the proper time. So those little accomplishments are what lead up to the bigger accomplishments, and the bigger accomplishments wouldn’t be the same if they weren’t made up of all those little ones. If that makes sense!

Lovely post xo
