How wonderful to have the opportunity to look back and see what one has accomplished. For me:

1. getting an advanced degree which now sits in my closet collecting dust
2. having a wonderful job for many years which gave me great satisfaction, freedom, and security
3. being able to walk away from that job and the security it provided when my peace of mind and need for simplicity became more important
4. starting over at the bottom and surviving the experience
5. taking a year off to care for my ailing grandmother so she wouldnt have to go to a nursing home.
6. being a published author
7. owning a home and all the headaches that go with it
8. being a self employed consultant
9. simplifying my life and letting go of the need for things
10. being my own person and having the courage to change myself and my life as needed
11. being a field instructor for budding, idealistic social workers....hence the prematurely gray hair
12. finding peace in a hectic and stressful world
