Seems to me that we don't always step back and think about what we are proud of we tend to focus on what we are not proud of or what we would change. I think sitting back and thinking of the things we are proud of will help put a smile on our faces for the day. I'll start... Recently I have become a mom, my little girl is almost five months old, I am very happy with the way I have handled things with her. I think I have fallen right into the role of mom with no real hang ups. I am also very happy with myself because I have not been obsessive about every little detail, don't get me wrong you have to protect your kids but people get a little crazy sometimes. There are many other things I am proud of: My husband he is an amazing man who loves us very much and works very hard to keep us happy. My education, though I wish I could use it more, I worked really hard to obtain it and I enjoyed the majority of it. Our house I am so happy to be a home owner, I love being able to do all the renovations and really make this place ours it will be hard to leave when we decide we need to upgrade. Now I can't wait to hear what every one else is proud of!

I love your choice of topic!!!! I am proud of.... My children-I have 3 and they light up my life everyday! My parents because they raised 7 kids and not one of us has every been in jail. My house because it is mine and I can do what I want to do with it. I am most proud of myself because I live my life the way I want to and I always put my children first no matter what I have to do.

Thanks! I too am proud of myself for living the way I want to I don't typically try to live the way other people think I should, sure it creeps in form time to time but you can't really help that. I think that reading what others are proud of will also help you reflect on things you have done and you may discover other things you are proud of but didn't realize you were proud of.

Great topic! :) It is true, in this busy world, sometimes we forget the things that matter, and we forget to be proud of the small achievements we have and of the people in our lives. Here are the things I am proud of: * I'm proud of my two babies who are active and learning every day * I am proud of my little boy who is trying really hard to say his first words * I am proud of my little girl who is constantly trying to prove to us that she is no longer little (she's still 2) * I am proud of my husband who has to stay at home so that I can work * I am proud of my husband for growing up and taking care of his family * I am proud of my mom who has managed to bring me and my family up alone * I am proud of my whole family for getting past all fights and misunderstandings * lastly, I am proud of myself, being 23, and having my own family, raising two babies, without help from my folks and relatives, just my husband and I, and for landing a job all by myself without the good word of others.
