16. What are your 5 greatest accomplishments?
These are things that mean a lot to me & me only.
------------------------------------------------------
1. My marriage.
It's strong & thriving.
Considering that half of everyone we know
seems to already have been divorced by now,
this is apparently a big deal.
Okay, really it's just a great accomplishment
that I found someone that wanted to marry me. :)
2. My job.
I shouldn't be where I am today
but I was lucky & got a head start at the age of 16.
In actuality, it's just an accomplishment
that I wake up each morning & go to work.
You have no idea how hard that is for me.
3. My finances.
They're not perfect.
Everyone can always use more.
But I'm content.
& I'm proud that I'm always working
to get more out of them.
It's hard to have self control with money.
I know that.
& sometimes we fail & we get off track.
But you know...
we have enough control to get right back on
& that is what makes me happy.
4. Right now it's not smoking.
Yes, technically I am still smoking since we have the E-Cigs,
But if you've ever been a smoker,
you know how big of a deal it is to put down cigarettes
& I have
& it feels more amazing then I imagined.
5. Leaving the car business.
Hardest thing I've ever done.
That place was more a part of my soul than I can describe.
& I left it all behind to be a stranger in a new land.
There are 2 reasons why this is a big deal to me.
One. My anxiety that happens when I'm a stranger
usually prohibits me from branching out.
Two. I hate letting people go.
I've lost so many people I love so much
& that is my only regret.
