What is the one thing you are proud of achieving?

Let's go down the usual checklist:

Proud of a 43 year marriage cut short by her death, but she did most of the work.

Proud of how our two sons turned out, but she did most of the work.

Proud of still being financially secure as I turn 86, but she is mostly responsible for the investments.

Proud of putting together a successful career in a field I said I would never work in when my chosen field of journalism cratered and became largely extinct, and was thrown into supervisory, managerial, and executive roles at far too young an age to truly know what the hell I was doing, but then I put together a crackerjack staff who did a good portion of the heavy lifting.

So I guess what I am most proud of achieving is, I did it my way. 🤪

My children, being the cliché - but true - answer.

My work, my marriage...

..and, I sadly haven't got it, but I paint and I painted the cover of Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' album for my mum, who's got it on display in her house...not just because she's a BIG Def Leppard fan, but because I did it.

There isn't just one thing...because I have had a life full of various achievements. Presently, however, I am very proud of sticking with my project of providing my neighbors with extra food every week.

Regaining the use of my limbs again. 😊

Earning and paying for my college degree. Having been self-sufficient for 45 years. I guess that’s three things. 😊

I suppose the various illustrations, poems, and stories I published back when I was doing that kind of thing. No huge successes, but lots of things published in small venues, limited editions, etc.

My gold medal.

It's a toss-up between learning how to walk again and teaching myself how to play guitar. :)
