“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
— Anne Bradstreet
It feels like spring today and I decided to put up our spring season flag to replace the winter one I’ve had up on our flagpole for the past few months.
As I reached my arms way up high to take the old flag down, I remembered last year at this time, how I realized that I simply could not reach that high, and couldn’t switch last years flag without the help of my husband. After all those surgeries, my upper body mobility was so constricted that I just couldn’t reach up that high.
This year, I did it on my own without any problem.
So now, every day when I pull in or out of the garage and see that spring flag flying, I’ll be reminded of how far I’ve come. Little victories, little wins. Happy Spring!
You’ve done such a good job of recognizing all the good things, Claudia…I’m so proud of you. You’ve come a really long way. That flag is flying high and proud and beautiful.
Hi Sue, thanks and thanks (as always) for reading. XOXO Claudia
It’s a huge victory Claudia and one that should be celebrated with lots of flowers and
Champagne! XO
Thanks, Angela. You bet – tonight I’ll be celebrating with a nice bottle of wine and some delicious Thai food with my hubby. XO Thanks for reading, honey. XO
LOVE that quote! Little victories are really BIG victories. You’ve earned every one of them. 🙂
Hi Rachel! Thanks for reading and for the nice note. Sounds like you’ve earned them, too. Wasn’t that a nice quote?
