# Chapter 349

Celebrate every victory and never allow a good change to go unnoticed. It takes too much energy and effort to fight struggle and win at all, you don’t want to let these positives go uncelebrated and without due note of the effort or change or redirection that has taken place. The application of this is apparent for the office and for teams of competition, but less obvious for home and emotions. Let me give you an example.

I have been in a strong downward cycle emotionally because of my blown knee, the constant pain, the lack of healing, etc etc. My youngest daughter is a psychotherapist and she has been gently trying to pull me out of this cycle all weekend. She would have done this regardless, but she feels extra on this one, because I was playing racketball with her when I injured this knee. Thus she has been suggesting outings and the like for days, all of which I flat out said I was poor company and did not want to inflict myself on the family. On and on this continued, until she and her husband showed up with pizza for lunch yesterday and my youngest grandbaby.

You guessed it, turned a terrible day into a wonderful day. Don’t think it was the pizza but I am pretty sure it was Emma sleeping on my shoulder and hugging me. Celebration!
