"What are your 1st & 2nd ..

Most Proud of in Your Own Life"

(Other than the incredible

raising of your children)

(Reason - Ref: -->

(Kalil Gibran "On Children" below)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Due to usual popular request, I'll go first):

1. Became my own, sole source, of a solid, nice income, independently

2. Moved away from Home, Long Distance, without any help, to accomplish my own original & progressive personal & lifetime/professional goals

I'm most proud of becoming the nice, kind, all-around good person that I am despite coming from a ridiculously dysfunctional family from parents who never should have been parents.

#2? I'm proud of my smarts! I've earned several advanced degrees and I've made good with several opportunities that have come my way.

Having my own home built on my own, after a breakup of a long relationship with someone who said I couldn't do anything without him. And my Mother, God rest her soul.

I remember my Grandmother telling me, "Pride goeth before the fall." I think it refers to a biblical passage. I just try to do the right thing.

I can't discount being proud of my son and the journey that it took to get him here. I was diagnosed with cancer 15 months before he was born. Logic says he shouldn't be here. He is 23 now. There are still days that I am in awe that I have a son.

I am also proud that I walked away from my toxic family of origin.

I'm the most proud of having taken care of myself w/ diet & exercise. It's kept me healthy (so far) and strong.

I'm also quite proud of "all" my many careers resulting from my artistic training.

Being able to be a survivor in a break in, robbery and rape in my own home.

Being able to live alone after that experience.

I wouldn't say proud, more that I'm grateful that I was able to care for my parents when they were very ill, cancer and Alzheimer's. I managed to work , care for my family and keep my folks in their home till the end. It wasn't easy, and sometimes I'm not sure how we all made it, but it was my honor and privilege to manage it. I'm grateful for my parents love and the friends who helped out whe the going got too tough. My folks promised each other that they wouldn't have to go to a nursing home, and though it nearly came to that with my dad , his heart gave out before it became necessary.

Wow, @QVCkitty1

That took A LOT of strength, Spirit, determination, grit, & love! And fulfilled promise?

Do you see this list?

(Im sad to hear about the passing of your beloveds - You were, are such a strength!)

@JoyFilled Warrior , Thank you, it's funny but when I was going through it it didn't seem so daunting, however when it was all over I wasn't sure how it was accomplished.

@QVCkitty1 YUP!!

I'ts like adrenlin & some kind of Power, just pushed up, lifted us, blinded us to the task & do what was right in front of us, while also, measuring how & with what strength we need to continue & look ahead, what's to go!!

It's veritably miraculous!!

Never ceases to amaze me!

Before moving to here, I had a mask that a woman was balancing the Globe of the World in her raised arm, & cradling a baby with her remaining arm. And with absolutely no sweat on her brow! No question!

I love that mask. I wonder if I can find it again!

Y'know.

The leaves started to fall here, madly, already.

I just took a few moments to sweep out the bunch of leaves on our indoor landing here. and with my busy mind, and pumping blood, I got to thinking....

Do you all realize .. the Woman POWER and STRENGTH and EXPERIENCE, we have in this room, right here!! Im amazed!

i had NO idea who would find us here!

And you brave, "weathered/ing thru the storms," souls have!

You probably had an easier time building your home solo. Many fights can and do break out over home building and remodels. When we built our home in 1981, I was very pregnant. No arguments. Hubby said "you take care of the inside and I'll take care of the outside. But decades later when we did 3 remodels pretty much back to back, the gloves came off! And that's all I'm saying about that! lol Oh, we're still married
