Accomplishments ~ Your Life as A List
For me personally, being home (and not by choice) leaves me in
a state of mind that can make me feel...well, worthless.  Last month I created an exercise to get me out of that funk.  I made a mental list of all the things in life that I have Accomplished.   So I thought, hey...lemme share this and see if anyone else wants to remind themselves of all the things they have accomplished thus far in life.  Anyone wanna share their List?

Good idea!.. Let's see..
- Edited a book - Biked long distance over a variety of provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI) totaling over 15,000 miles over 7 years. - was a professor - am a technical trainer - moved to another country successfully - lived on my own - paid off all debt once (and am working on doing it again) - have run successful blogs - have published technical security articles online - have gotten at least 6 technical certifications related to work on my own studying habits (which can be odd) - started on my road to transition

I've had to reach waaaay back for some of these...
I have:
survived a less than stellar childhood and came out no more scathed than anyone else survived two marriages (and finally learned my lesson!) like Linus, paid all my debt off....once.....and am working on it again bought multiple homes with others, but bought and sold my own home as well graduated college, and want to go back to further my education moved cross country into the unknown and will do so again written some really good stories and poems won an award in 3rd grade for art  went to State for Advanced Placement Latin III and IV driven a full-sized 53 foot semi around in a lot (it doesn't sound like much, but it's pretty cool for someone who doesn't know how to drive a stick) gotten quite a lot of praise for a job well done over the years in the hospitality field been privileged to have had some really good relationships in my life |

great topic!
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

I live a life I am be grateful for.
I married my best friend. I live a simple, peaceful life. We raised our kids to be adults. My childhood no longer defines me. |

Ooo, nice topic!
I am going to list a few, in the interest of time. I will probably think of something else later.  * Like Gemme, I survived a less than stellar childhood although I have flashes of memories and a crippling fear of being tickled. * I am raising, as a single mom, three boys who are turning out to be pretty good kids. * I have had poetry and/or erotica published on several websites-one sells adult toys. * I won the volunteer of the year award for the Alabama Chapter of the Make-A-Wish foundation. * I may have saved a little girl's life, I certainly saved her from very bad head injuries. * I visualized and spearheaded a fundraising campaign to raise funds for a community member affected by the April tornado that destroyed her home. * I was on the cover of a magazine (not a major one but it still counts-lol). * In Aug 2008, I walked alone into the very intimidating world of BDSM. Within a year and a half, my club created a position for me. I now run the special events there. I have had a few people refer to me as "the infamous LaneyDoll."

this thread because I think sometimes people need to be reminded how unique they are and what better way than to list what your life has gifted you thus far :}

Scene Set: Kitchen area at work while folks are getting coffee, etc:
Co-Worker(s): "Good Morning, how is everyone today?" Me: (with a smile on my face) my response is: "I'm able to sit up and take nourishment". And of course everyone gets a chuckle out of my response and it becomes a smiling chain reaction. It's always nice to start a day off like that. I guess this really makes folks think. So in other words be thankful you're alive and able to do the things that we may take for granted, that others may not have the privilege to do. We're blessed in so many ways. |

I have been published in an online magazine. I drove from Washington down to Texas, by myself, and in less than 37 hours and moved via the USPS. On a related note, I survived driving through the lowlands at 3 in the morning and the fog being thicker'n split pea soup. That was pretty darn scary! I went to the first reunion here last year and met some folks I've wanted to meet for years!!! I snatched up a pretty awesome guy. I have gone from being hired on part time to running my own store in six months and 2 days, after being unemployed for 4 months and change. |
