little things

Ok so I am trying to write positive things for me to read later when I am feeling crappy about myself.  Of course, anyone else out there who finds my rantings amusing, feel free as well.
So you don't have a high paying job (or anything steady at all) but the little things still matter.  A few days ago, i decided to try and find a pocket of nature in my urban jungle.  i walked to and from a park near my home, by myself, and the map confirmed it was a ten mile hike round trip.  It is a small thing, but i didn't give up.  It was hot and sticky, i was thirsty and strangers were staring, but i made it, and I plan on doing it again.  Next time i will bring my cane, maybe. 
That day wasn't just about some excercise.  That day I expanded my sphere of places I could go without assistance.  i took a little bit of independence back, a little confidence too.  It is a little thing, but it helps.
