small victories

When I was in college I remember this one older lady
(meaning maybe 25 at that time)constantly saying "small victories" in a way that always made people happy. Tonight was a night of small victories.
I just returned home from some rough and tumble full court basketball. Tonight I matched up against two guys that are shorter, quicker, and stronger than me. My skills have deteriorated to the point where I'm usually at a disadvantage. The only thing I had going from me was a few more inches and a higher BMI.
So what were the small victories? One behind the back dribble that prevented a sure steal and a 15 foot jumper to win a game. Also burning 100s of calories. Having a few laughs.
I believe the key to small victories is to take the time to think of them and then enjoy them. They happen all day long but are easy to miss.
