Little Victories

Little past one in the morning. Cleaned the aquarium today. Learned that to use the vacuum, one needs to get the air bubble out for it to work efficiently. Despite overflowing the sink and having fish detritus seep into the foot water massager, it went well. Water was lower and I rearranged the items in the tank. Found the ghost shrimps I couldn't find for a couple of weeks. Thought they went the way of the African frog.  Tank is clean and many ants that were patrolling for H2O well they are taken care of. Also through spontaneous evolution. I have a baby snail cleaning up sides of the aquarium. Also the Golden snail, Angelo thought expired. I'm happy to say is scaling up the front of the Aquarium.

Finished a few reads and returned some books to the library. This all before heading to the gym this evening. Took Haydee's class and then Theresa. It was nice seeing the regulars. New routines were introduced and I had some senior moments. Body is not as hippity hopity as I would like. I think I will have to live with this new reality. Might be doing a tripler tomorrow. All Zumba day. Still think I will be lifting some. Triceps and biceps tomorrow. Will be challenging the body tomorrow.

Ate my salad for the evening.  Ones I made the night before.Got two in the pocket and I must say I am proud for this planning. Need to make eating a bit healthier. I like the progress I am making. Need to work on weight and I am happy in the direction I am headed.

So besides all this sharing of all the regular activity. No insight on some thought provoking incident. Guess its like the weather prediction. All the weather people were stating that this entire week would be hit hard by El Nino storms. Today, not a drop. From the view out my window, skies are clear.

Guess, what I am saying is this, "Little things matter. Perspective and attitude matter. These small victories lead to big ones. Those fights against fatigue. Those set points with our weight. Those routines that we haven't mastered. These are the obstacles that we overcome. Some eight years ago, I asked the Big Smile for change. Wasn't the change I was looking for. Winning the Lottery would be nice. No the change has been incremental. Starting with simple reads of the book. One book became 400 books read for the year. One Zumba class for the week has become three in a day. It has become wishing for an aquarium to being happy I found the ghost shrimp alive.

Taking the time. These little victories. It is these one steps that make the possibility of traveling million miles possible. Showing some daydreaming, planning and sticktoittiveness I am happy with the direction and momentum. No longer the stall. Just that rolling rock gather no moss. Well, its late and there are many checks to knock off the list.
