On Celebration of the Small

I woke up today with only the slightest of headaches.

I consider that a victory.

I woke up feeling surprisingly rested.

I consider that a victory.

Even though the air was cold and my bed was warm, I got up to shower for my morning yoga class.

I consider that a victory.

Within 10 minutes of the start of class, I felt lightheaded and faint and spent 75% of the class in child’s pose.

I consider that a victory.

Yesterday was a hard day that brought me to my knees, but I am here and alive and willing to try.

I consider that a victory.
