little steps

I remember a friend i used to run with giving me advice about running saying 'take every vicotry no matter how small even if its completing a 1 mile run'  I remember thinking that i must keep pushing myself and thinking that 1 measley mile is no way good enough for me and that i must at least get three miles in.
This of course left me open to the dissapointment of not completing the distance my mind required or in the time i had set myself.  For a short while it would leave me distraught that im not progressing with my fitness levels or maybe not up to the challenges ahead of me.

I have since learnt to 'take every victory' even if it is just getting out for that mile, and i appreciate this safe in the knowledge that i faced my challenge and completed it.

This epiphony is almost exactly paralleled with Logan's development and how i am dealing with it.   Each victory, each little step must be celebrated as if we have crossed some mysterious finish line.
Logan is constantly taking little steps towards leading a 'normal' life and as i help him i notice that i must not push him too much to succeed first time, and understand that for logan even being able to drink from a little cup instead of his old little bottle is for Logan a massive victory.

Logan must constantly face his challenges, and with me beside him he will succeed.
