My post from last week about calling victories keeps lingering in my mind, so when I saw this challenge to write every day for 31 days about one topic, I knew this was it.
For the month of October, I want to take time each day to call the victories. I thought about finding a picture that looked victorious, maybe one of me crossing a finish line. Then I remembered that I only have one picture of me finishing a race that my friend Tammy took, and I intentionally gave her my best, “Is it over yet? I’m dying!” look. Definitely not a look of victory.
But what I’m looking for aren’t the obvious victories, because let’s be honest – those don’t come every day. No, I want to look harder. I want to celebrate the little things, which really aren’t little at all. I can be so focused on wanting to do great things that I miss the greatness of little things. Those are the victories.
So I chose this picture because I think this is what victory looks like – light breaking through dark places. I’m curious to see what I will find this month. I’m excited to see what victories come, and which ones have been there all along.
I’m getting my “V for Victory” fingers ready. I hope you’ll join me and call your own victories.
