1. Survival

I won't go into all the gory details, but it's a miracle I lived to be this old and I'm proud of that.

[taterguy]

2. That Grand Canyon hike I post too much about

I'm sure there are other things but I really enjoy bragging about that

[BarenakedLady]

3. my kids

It's really hard for me to be proud of myself for much, but I think I've done a pretty good job loving my kids. They seem happy and for that I'm proud.

[Tyler Durden]

4. I help people.

I hate saying this because it sounds like bragging, but coincidentally I need to feel good about myself at the moment.

I have saved lives and prevented suffering, human and animal. I advocate for the helpless, again, human and animal.

Just to be honest, as I get older I feel more and more drawn to help animals and less to help people. Except the homeless, poor and mentally ill: not their fault.

5. I'm a good public speaker.

I become someone different with a mike in my face. Watch out.

35. That I try not to talk about the things I'm proudest of, I guess

I hope this doesn't sound like pompous bragging (it probably does), but for certain specific reasons I won't go into a lot of people are always telling me how proud I should be of myself. Personally, I don't like that. I have things to be proud of, but I try not to think of them. Rather, I just try to do the best I can to satisfy myself and those closest to me. Whenever people tell me how unique I supposedly am I change the subject.

[Javaman]

36. I can put 3 pool balls in my mouth! nt

[idgiehkt]

38. that I am who I am.

soooooooo damn grateful. :hi:

[SarahB]

39. That I followed my gut and worked my ass off...

and it worked out. I used to base my decisions in life on fear and I overcame that with everything I've gone through in the past few years. I don't carry those kind of fears anymore.

43. My book!

I have dug up branches of the family that no one else ever knew about and traced them back to their common source.

It took a lot of detective work and stick-to-it-iveness, but I've gotten really far, and met lots of wonderful third (and fourth) cousins from it.

:D

[Magrittes Pipe]

44. I have a great broad and awesome kids in my house.
