What Are You Most Proud Of In Your Life?

A couple of things tie, hands down.

First, I raised my kids alone; they were 10, 6, and 3 when their dad left. Sure, he paid support, but it was a paltry amount. It was hard, I won’t deny it. What helped the most were my folks watched them when I had class or work events. AND, I finished college, giving me a better chance at a better job. My mentor taught me I may have to leave the company I loved to earn the salary I needed. It was hard, but it worked out. Both major corporations I worked for had incredible benefits packages. I had my education nearly paid for and when I needed LTD, it was amazing. I’m humbled and grateful for that bonus, and we have a good life because of it.

No, we’re not rich. Not by a longshot. We’re comfortable. The Babe has a nice retirement. His VA Benefits help with his medical, prescriptions, etc. We’re covered, barring a catastrophe. I’m confident God will continue to be good with us.

My kids are good people. No one’s ever been in jail (that I know of!), or done anything terrible. Sometimes it’s a lot to be grateful for. My step kids are as wonderful. We’re proud of the choices all 5 adult kids made.

How about you? What are you most proud of in your life? Are you preparing for something special? Share, please. We’re finished for the day, and have a lot going on tomorrow. Hope your Tuesday is pleasant, and you have a beautiful day. We’ll see each other tomorrow.
