Email a Friend#2 is an awesome success. Don’t sell yourself short! And I like #3. I find everything goes better when I set (and stick to) some parameters in regards to FB, blogging, email, etc. Great week!!

Small Successes vol. 88

It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that.
To participate, just write up a list of 3 of your recent Small Successes and post it on your blog along with the Small Successes button (go here to get the code). You are not required to use the button, but please do link back to the main post here. Then you can add your blog here using the Mr. Linky form (please link to the individual blog post, not the home page of your blog).
If you don’t have a blog, you can share your Small Successes in the comments.
To get us started, here are my small successes for this week:
1. Last week, during a quick trip to Massachusetts, I met up with a dear friend from college whom I hadn’t seen in about 14 years. It was wonderful catching up with her and finding out just how much wee have in common after all this time.
2. School keeps chugging along. I consider our steady progress a MAJOR success, but I know it doesn’t look that way from the outside. So ... small success it is this week. 
3. I have been keeping my inbox to a fairly manageable number of emails. Spending just 10 minutes a day focused completely on email seems to be helping tame that particular beast. Go me!
Now it’s your turn! Please share all the small but significant ways you’ve done the right thing this week.

Great list. Esp. #2! It’s so important, and so hard, to remember to view our school success from within our walls - not as others might view them. Great job!

I’m please with school too (most days) I’m doing much better at being really present.
So other than that:
Started our children’s choir for the year!
Finished my midterms last week.
Actually spoke (on the phone—which I hate) with people I needed to and we have date and location for our conference. Yay!

nice list!
here are my 3:
1. put up the Notre Dame and Cars wall stickers in the boys’ rooms (took only 6 minutes, with two ecstatic little boys).
2. fixed the sweater that I’m knitting (I attached the sleeves right side facing to a body that was wrong side facing).
3. I RAN and walked on the treadmill this am I loathe running). Thank goodness all the Hail, Marys Kept me going.

Horay! #3 especially is something I’m constantly working on improving. Do you read all tour emails 1st, then reply or read one and reply before reading the rest?
