Little Victories

There are big victories like living longer and smaller victories that happen every day. It's the little victories that bring a smile to your face.

• I went into an Old Navy store and actually bought something, and it was on clearance sale.
• I deleted (without reading it) an email flyer from a Big and Tall shop.
• I'm wearing an extra large shirt (one I bought at Old Navy, no less).
• I felt moved to suck in my gut and it was a meaningful action.
• I no longer worry whether I'll be seated in a booth at a restaurant, althoug I still prefer tables.
• I don't look for the chair without arms.
• I ran out of holes on a belt I bought after I ran out of holes on my belt.
• I found a spare tux shirt that fit on the rack at Goodwill.
• I no longer feel I have to identify my tailor as Omar the Tentmaker.
• I'll be flying in ten days and won't need a seat belt extender.
• My knees don't hurt going down the stairs in the places that only have up escalators.
• I need suspenders to keep pants up that were tight when I started wearing them not so long ago.
• My favorite shirts are now so large that I can't wear them to work.

Little victories. But they make it all worth it.
