Small Victories

Have you ever noticed that its often the smallest things in life that make us smile?  Don't get me wrong, big events make me smile too (when Mr. Cob asked me to be his wife, buying our first Christmas tree in our new house, welcoming Wrigley as a member of our family, etc.).  But often its the small things that keep us going from day to day and make our light glow a little brighter. 

A random "I love you" card from my husband on a Sunday afternoon.  Finding a $10 bill in a coat pocket from last winter.  Tying a cherry stem with your tongue.  These little small victories and precious moments.  They just make you smile.

I had a small victory this morning.  And I sat in my office and smiled widely to myself. 

 

I peeled my clementine in one piece.  My small victory for today.  And I have to admit, the clementine tasted better than usual - perhaps because I was smiling while I ate it.
