Question of the day January 31st!

[Karen]

I don't feel as if I have accomplished anything in my life, unless being a failure counts. That I have accomplished quite well. Haha.

Let's see - gave birth to and raised a son.
Survived cancer.
Surviving a battle with Depression - all those count as MAJOR accomplishments!

And, of course, raising lovely doggies, and teaching them things like manners! And meeting us all at a Findlay gathering ...

I think those are ALL accomplishments of yours worth mentioning!

Getting the master's. I was lazy and had terrible study habits in college. In grad school I was able to correct some of those mistakes, do good work, plus I made some great friends.

[K9karen]

Still being around.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Getting my diploma of "Teacher for primary schools"
I had difficulties to memorise lots of things in a short time, so exams were a real torture for me! Everybody said I would never get any diploma..., but I DID IT !!!! I am not teaching anymore, but I am still proud I made it then !!

[smokey the elder]

Getting my PhD. What a buttload of work, but well worth it.

I don't think I've done anything amazing in my life, but marrying the man of my dreams is my greatest accomplishment

My accomplishment is coming to live at Concordia, where I can get help for my various health problems and also to meet a wealth of new friends and start a new, great phase in my life!

Raising two Beautiful childen
Survived Cancer
Survived 50 years in work force.
Being a volunteer building Mtn Bike trails (recently helped raise over 200K in contributions and grants. This was a hard fought 3 year battle with the powers of resistance.
Built my own home. (It's never finished when you have a wife dreaming up new projects)

Great question!
I guess my answer would be becoming the private child care giver for the family I worked for over a nearly 20 year period.
I was just with the family yesterday, and let me tell you they are more like family than some of my blood relatives. The Mom and the Aunt to the children were both singing my praises and I felt really good.
Especially with the first child, a boy, the Mom really needed me as she was a single Mom. My husband and I took both kids under our wings as if they were our own. I didn't just baby sit them...we treated them as family, including taking them on day trips and such.
The boy is now 28 and the girl 14.

My greatest accomplishment was changing my life about 6 or 7 years ago, regardless of what anyone else thought so that I could pull myself out of a going-nowhere life, sad and unworkable marriage and the depths of despair even though many friends and family were not supportive. I stopped smoking pot after smoking daily for almost 25 years, divorced my husband, moved out on my own and re-created myself!

Since then I have met and married the love of my life, began the music career I should have started when I was a teenager, been the safe forever home for many birds that never had one (even doing bird hospice once in a while for those that would not live long but needed love at the very end of their lives) and walking the path that will make me the joyful, spiritual being that I truly am!

Don't ever say that you have not accomplished anything, no matter who you are!! Living your life and being a light to your pets and families and friends means more than you can imagine. . .Cheers!
