My proudest accomplishment is being a wife and mother, and being the best wife and mother I can be each and every day.
1- having and bringing my children up.
2- been able to love and accept my siblings... unconditionaly... and they seem to HAVE to keep in touch with me. it's so nice! we have a big family. 7 kids.
3-learned and power of prayer at a very young age. and have made it part of my life.
4-have taken the opportunities to learn to TEACH and been teaching at the womans shelter... and the niantic womans prison for many years now. gotta love it!
5-i have learned to love and accept people for who they REALLY are.. and see past their faults, challenges and love them anyway.
6- learned to NOT let others take advantage of my time and me. this was actually REALLY hard... it's hard to say no. or know when to STOP.
I think the first one is going to by that my husband and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary on Friday!
I have been her Mommy ever since. She's fourteen now, and it hasn't been easy, but she is my greatest accomplishment. I have other children and grandchildren but by far, she is a extraordinary accomplishment.
I think what you have done for her is amazing!
My daughters both are successful women 1 happily married and the other with a nice young man.
My husband and I have been been together over 30 years.
I have a great job helping other people.
I completed my college degree.
I have lost weight this year and really feel smaller.
Those are great things to be proud of!
2. I was employee of the year
3. I had a poem published in a magazine
4. We raised a terrific kid
5. I was in Honor Society in college
Wii Fit, that's amazing! HIGH 5!
Those are wonderful!
I have to say my greatest accomplishment was returning to school when my 4 kids were little. I was one of the hardest but most rewarding things I have ever done. I dropped out in grade 9 so I had to return first to get my high school credits and then onward to college. I still had to take care of the house and the kids and study my brains outs but the feeling of accomplishment when I graduated not once but twice with two degrees was one of my proudest moments. I really didn't care if any one else thought it was an amazing thing I was doing - I just wanted to prove to myself I could do it - and I did!
This is fun. I'll make a list.
1. Married to the same man for 38 years this May.
2. Raised four kids one of whom is a physicist.
3. One of whom is wealthy and about to have twin boys.
4. I have 9 grandchildren 4 boys and 5 girls.
5. Got my Masters at 40.
6. Still, my greatest accomplishment is my baby girl who drives me nuts.
There has to be something you are proud of!
(I'm in and out tonight...trying to get some stuff done).
I don't beleive that even for a second!
Boy returning to school with four kids, is just awesome. The weight loss is tremendous as well.
Wii Fit should get the greatest accomplishment.
I think you are a great and caring mom and a wonderful photographer!
Nora I have seen how well you save money at the store and that is a great accomplishment.
1. I graduated from college.
2. I got a job and supported myself for 4 years before getting married.
3. I got married to a wonderful husband.
4. I have worked as a medical transcriptionist for 12 years.
5. I have overcome great obstacles in my life and am a stronger person now.
Dig deep. It's there. You're my friend, and that's a big one.
It's been nice chatting for a bit!
Had to put the kids dinner on the table!
I look at all the wonderful photographers here Bridget, and I'm not all that good comparitively...
Here's one: General Dynamics moved me, at their expense, from Michigan to California for a technical editing job working a ground launched cruise missile program witih the air force. I didn't move back to Michigan until 19 years later.
We are always hardest on ourselves!
You're a babe in the woods. Smile now! : }
* graduating College also the only one in my family to do so

* having wonderful well behaved children that I love
That is a special gift. My doctor just retired to go into hospice care. Of course, I am still grieving over losing him. He had been my doctor for over twenty years. But I digress! Sorry!
You do a lot of volunteering too Denise...
Congrats to you as well!
I celebrate #10 on Friday!
1. I lost 37 pounds this year. It was a goal that I worked up to and I found the motivation to accomplish it.
2. Up until this point in time i have maintained an excellent weighted GPA. i have a 4.35 as it stands.
3. I qualified for the national honors society, something that has always been a goal to me.
4. I have made it this far without completely falling apart. I have had plenty of opportunities to lose it, namely in middle school, but I survived this far, and I know that I can continue.
5. I have acquired the strength to think for myself and not allow myself to be manipulated by people who want to use me. I have also found outlets for my emotions to stop myself from bottling them up.
Thanks for sharing....now, it's off to Fafsa Land........awwwwww, probably the rest of the night......I've already got a migraine from working on it before, and it just gets worse!
Have a great chat everybody, and good night!
