I want to try and spot more often the moments when I feel I'm winning at life. One is when I've already planned the meals for the day so that isn't hanging over me. That's such a quick win - maybe this weekend I could sit down and plan the whole week's meals and feel really good all week? I didn't have a bag in my pocket unusually yesterday, so when I made an unscheduled shop drop-in for cream cakes I picked up a few bits for tonight's tea but had to juggle them home. Should have bought fewer cream cakes. I might be able to resist adverts, but I can't resist offers such as 2 packs for £2. And I didn't get red lentils cos there's always red lentils in. Only of course there isn't. There is a lifetime's supply of yellow ones that need eating by November tho so now I have the challenge of finding something I can make with them for tea instead of my favourite tomato and lentil soup.
I also feel like I'm winning when I've remembered that love is the purpose. When I've managed a balance of hard work, play, giving, staying connected. When the laundry basket is empty and I've used the solar power to make it that way. When my kids both have their lunches for school. When I've finally got round to doing that tiny task that has needed doing in ages. Little things.
When do you feel you're winning at life?
