Trying to Avoid Mediocrity

…and failing.

There’s a reason I’ve been silent about my small successes in the last few weeks…they’ve been so small as to be invisible.

But today, rather than post a book review (which I almost did), I thought I would dredge the mediocrity of my life and find three small things to celebrate.

1. On today’s to-do list: making a writing plan for the summer. Yes, that’s right. I have an ambitious summer project and today I will be planning it. (So that’s a success, right? Right? RIGHT?) (Well, we’re pretending it is.)

2. When asked what I do (by my new OB, by the guy who sold us our van, by a babysitter), I have been saying (with faked confidence), that I’m a writer. (It almost hurt to type that.)

3. Last night, I made my husband’s favorite dinner. It was easy and just required some planning. Given my recent track record of frozen pizzas, snack plates, and PB&J, this is a success!
