Little Victories

Today was a hard day.

Work is a little difficult; because of some staffing issues, I currently have to work completely out of my job description to help my team out.  I have to move in just under four weeks and I have no idea where I am moving yet.  And it's not like I am being indecisive, I truly have no options right now.  I am feeling stressed.  Stressed to the point of almost bursting into tears in the middle of my office when I hung up with an affordable apartment complex that has no vacancies.

In my "old life," I would have probably run home and poured a glass of wine, or maybe cracked open a beer.  Maybe had a big meal with some ice cream.  It would have felt pretty good, honestly. But.  But, obviously it was  unhealthy and it clearly got me nowhere good.

Today, all I wanted to do when I got home was work out.  And it felt really really good.

"And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
But I learned to get by
On the little victories."
from Matt Nathanson's "Little Victories"
