Progress

A lot has passed through my mind lately about progress. I seem to have a lot to do but very little getting done. I know you have heard it, and I have said it before, but it seems that the harder I try, the less I complete. However, I have to keep pushing to get things done.

Our two-year-old, he's actually twenty-six months, hasn't taken to potty training as well as some have claimed that their little ones did. We try to get him to use the potty every chance we get but he isn't as interested in it as we are. However, last night, as I was changing his diaper, he said, "Dada, pee pee." I asked, "You gotta pee pee?" He replied, "Uh-huh." So, we head to the bathroom, where he stepped up on the stool and pee peed in the potty like a big boy. Progress.

Today's word is a saying that goes, "Some people quit due to slow progress, never realizing that slow progress is still...PROGRESS!"

There will be those times in our lives when it seems that we are accomplishing nothing. There will be those times when it seems that we take one step forward just to fall two steps back. Yet, if we continue to try to progress, even infinitesimally, it is still progress.

Progress can be measured in so many different ways. Maybe you didn't accomplish EVERYTHING you set out to do today but, if you made it through the day with everyone fed and clean and in bed, that is progress. Maybe you didn't get out of debt this year but, if you made it through the year owing less than you did at the beginning, even two dollars less, that is progress.

Don't give up just because it is slow. Slow progress is still PROGRESS!

Be Blessed,
