Yesterday d lady's son closed his door to his room to go to sleep. That to me is a wow event. He felt comfortable enough (even with his anxiety) to close his door - something he rarely does. This is huge and I am in awe that he could feel, for that night, he could close his door.
Society teaches us that we are supposed to make huge strides each day to be successful - So so wrong - that's perfectionism or someone trying to sell books. There is no miracle. One can not move forward in life without these small, but oh so important and brave baby steps!!!
When we choose to take the small step it is a brave moment - no matter how small the step is. We under estimate our courage and bravery by pulling perfectionist thinking into it. Every small decision and small step helps us grow each day - it's an awesome thing and we should appreciate that about ourselves.
When was the last time you appreciated what steps you make for yourself, your home, your family, you community etc.
Today appreciate your small courageous steps. think of P.I.E. (KIMMY of She's in her apron): progress is enough

enjoy your baby steps and see the courage behind them. If I may say so myself - You all are wonderful!
