Celebrate

I call myself a Realist which is defined as “someone who recognizes and accepts situations as they actually are, dealing with them in a practical and objective manner.” But what happens, when that Realist never looks at the good that happens? They’re always working in the next situation, “dealing with it in a practical and objective manner”? Like Sisyphus pushing that rock up a hill over and over. Did they get to stop and say “hey! Good job!”

The other day, a blog I look forward to reading every day, Waking Up on the Wrong Side of 50, celebrated her mini goals, big and small, and I know this is something I need to do for myself.

Though I don’t have any specific goals, her post made me realize, I need to reflect, recognize and celebrate the big and small events of the day.

I got through my day, recognizing and accepting situations, dealing with them in a practical and objective manner. Sometimes with a lot of loud, choice words, but I get through it. And then I get up and do it again, and again and again. Never stopping to think, “hey, that was a good thing that happened here”.

It’s time.
