I am sorry to be pedantic,but you did Not have a small victory. U had a VICTORY no ifs ands or buts, accept it and say it, be proud of yourself, let me be proud of you. It may be small compared to what u could do but it is great after not swimming for months.& U DID something Toot your own horn, it gives u memories to embrace on days when u can not do anything.
Never ever ever belittle your accomplishments, this is YOU. It may not be much compared to the old you, but it is you NOW and it deserves never to be diminished, celebrate it and congratulate it, choose your WORDS wisely, and celebrate your stuff. It is never small stuff to u, it is your stuff and it leads to but it leads to more & more stuff.
Sorry this struck me this morning, as very impressive, but u did not seem to be amazed as u could be. congrats mate have a good day.
