That's a lot to be proud of for sure. Well done you...proud of being smart enough to marry my beloved, having three great kids, a grandson...my career in radio, and going back to get my nursing degree in my 40's...
You know, when i married i wasn't proud. My feelings were more of confusion. Does this wonderful creature really want to marry me? Why? It was more these kind of thoughts i had. That didn't diminish the feelings i had for her of course....proud of being smart enough to marry my beloved, having three great kids, a grandson...my career in radio, and going back to get my nursing degree in my 40's...
You must give us a look-see when finish.At the moment my greatest source of pride is a painting I'm working on. I had always wanted to paint a SK related picture so I could hang it over my book collection but i wanted to wait until I got better at painting ( because I knew that would be one painting I'd be looking at a lot) but I have started a month ago. it will be a portrait of SK with Cujo, Pennywise and Carrie in the background. I have done Cujo and Pennywise already and I think that mixing both my passions for SK and painting has had an amazing effect on the quality of my work. I am amazing myself every night when I stare at it and can see the progress I have done technically on this particular painting. So that's my pride and joy at the moment
I will, I promise It might still be a while though, I really want it to be the best it can be, so I'm taking my time with this one.You must give us a look-see when finish.
...I still can't fathom why she stays with my grumpy ass....You know, when i married i wasn't proud. My feelings were more of confusion. Does this wonderful creature really want to marry me? Why? It was more these kind of thoughts i had. That didn't diminish the feelings i had for her of course.
I'm the same way - when it became clear that my husband was just crazy about me - my thoughts were "What the hell is wrong with you that you like me?" We're humble creatures, you and I.You know, when i married i wasn't proud. My feelings were more of confusion. Does this wonderful creature really want to marry me? Why?

I like this Autumn! Aside from the obvious (kids), personally about me, what I am most proud of is who I really am. I'm peaceful. I'm a good friend to have.I'm proud of my mental outlook as I age. A lot of people become bitter as they grow older. They are suspicious of people who are different from them, place too much stock in material possessions they can't take with them when they die, continue to nurse petty grudges, and are scared of new ideas and change in general. I've grown less judgemental and less materialistic with age. I'm more charitable, more empathetic now. I'm very thankful I've lived long enough to develop this state of mind.
