Yesterday two personal milestones: this blog opened its doors and I finished a draft of a piece long on the back burner up until a couple of months ago.
Big moments. Yet my little office was so quiet. No confetti, no balloons. Nobody here but me. (Though lots of wonderful e-mails, I thank you. And the everyday thump of the music from the Mexican restaurant downstairs.)
There was no way I could instantly gather a crowd for champagne and sweet iced tea. So, a mini-celebration: lo mein with Bob at the mall food court and the purchase of my first and likely only pair of high-heeled flip-flops, a concept I never imagined would attract me.
My point: every milestone, every bit of progress, even the "good" rejections need celebrating. Sandals with kitten heels may not be your thing. But I'll bet you can come up with something that will do the trick.
