               raising of your children)

  (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.
