What have you done...

...today, to make you feel proud?!
My mother called this morning and needed to talk. Her and my dad have been having issues...to say the least. Well, my mom and I have always had a strained relationship growing up...and never have had those wonderful "girl" talks that T.V. portrays as normal. Well, mom needed to have a talk, and a huge cry...a few times today on the phone. It made me feel so proud that I was the one that she called and confided in, and we were able to leave all the bullshit aside. It felt good to just let her vent and talk.
I know this may not be a big deal to most, but I have waited 27 years to have those "talks" today...and it felt good.
...what have you done today to make you feel proud?

Good on ya, Steph.
Today, even though I felt and still feel like shit, I dragged my ass out of bed, made the coffee, got in the shower, and made my way into work.
I'm slugging through some endless reports in preparation for taking a week off, sucking on cough drops and trying to stay focused.
Even though I can think of at least a dozen other things I'd rather be doing, this is what I do because it needs to be done.
I'm pretty proud of that.
Plus, I had the opportunity to tell my bride that I love her - three times.

Steph,
Nothing productive………. I did elevate laziness into science………
and for my Ideas that is success…………….
Oh….. and did manage to take care of the kids without “killing” them………… (for the past 3 days)
and some futile posts on CH.com

I finished a $200,000.00 estimate in 2 1/2 days for a condo project in downtown Milwaukee.
My manager said everything was perfect. That made me feel proud!
We'll see how perfect it is when it comes to raise time in a few weeks

I love that song Steph...it's the theme song on the show called "The Biggest Loser"...about people who lose incredible amounts of weight.
It's so uplifting and inspiring...thanks for the "reminder"..
Thoughtfully, Sherri

I have helped someone over the Internet find their way back to God, prayed for and received good medical news from them regarding their family, and learned that that person spent 2 hours in church giving thanks to God for it.
I can't tell you how good that feels.

Yelled at my gas supplier because he has not even started to build the regulator I asked him to build a week ago. This will be the 28th regulator I had built and and sent to a family member here that could not afford one.
The biggest kick I have gotten out of doing this is when someone sent me a check, I had told them not to.......I sent them a picture of their check all torn up.....LMAO!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I listened to my daughter tell me she quit her great job and is moving to El Paso with a guy she met on-line....and I didn't kill her.
Actually, I really listened to her, told her I wanted her to be happy, gave her my motherly advice and then shut my mouth. Hardest thing I've had to do in a long time.

I successfully resuscitated a patient who collapsed in the waiting room with a heart attack and brought him back to life. I felt pleased with myself but not proud, because that is my every day job and I should be able to do it.
What actually made me feel proud was my 8 years old son telling me he stood up on the bus to school to give an elderly lady his seat. Now THAT made me feel proud!

I just finished up the dishes (yes I dry them also) and right after this reply I will start a load of laundry.
Just want to take some of the load off Angie as she had to go after work to the Doc's for a stress test on her heart. She probably won't want me to cook dinner as I am better doing those other things that is a big help to her.
That was sweet what you did with your mom Steph.

I am proud to have defeated the possum that took up residence in my dresser drawer today.
I guess that's what can happen when you move out in a hurry, and leave all your stuff on a trailer in your buddys driveway for a month.
Oh well... Live and learn, I guess.

Worked on remodeling stuff today--finished the interior painting, and put new blinds on the windows. Decided that what I really need to do to the bathrooms this winter is tear them down to the 2X4's and go from there.
That is an ugly realization.
I'm not exactly proud that I didn't just blow it off and go fishing, but I'm slightly amazed that I did not. Could be it's a sign of pending maturity...but I doubt it.
Tomorrow is another day.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Wow!!!! You done good! (and we thought teenagers were rough.)
Fortunately, since one of my chickens is out on her own again, I am blissfully unaware of her whereabouts. (as it should be...)
Hugs to you!
