The Moments of “I am Proud”

April 21, 2009 bananafrog

Do you ever have those moments in life where you say, “I helped to do that and I am proud”?  As a mother, I know I have many moments where I have looked at my boys and have thought just that.  When it comes to my boys, I am a very proud Mom!  I remember the first time my oldest looked at someone and said, “Excuse me Ma’am.”  He was only 2.  Then with my youngest son, his was, “No thank you,” anytime he didn’t want something starting around the same age.  It is an amazing feeling of triumph when you see your hard work and efforts come into play for your children, especially with the small things.

I try to bring that way of thinking  into all of my life.  I have failed many times, trust me!  But I like to look at my handy work and say, “I helped to do that.”  It is nice to be able to look back and say that I tried the hardest that I possibly could whether I managed to make it better or didn’t help at all.  With work, I like to look at what I do as trying to help others.  In my past career, in health care, I felt just that way.  In my current career path, I feel the same only I am trying to help anyone I can to save some money here and there (hopefully TONS at a time!)

It is fun to watch things change and grow.  I am very adaptable and love to see thing move in a better direction.  When it comes to my life, I hope that I can look back every year and be proud of the way I handled myself, especially as a mother, friend, and worker!

    It's nice you wrote about this. My daught­er has a 20 month old son and we were just talkin­g about what it is like to watch their person­ality come out, to know that you have helped­ mold their life. I also wanted­ to commen­t that I feel the same way about workin­g for Dealta­ker - I always­ think of it as a gift I am giving­ to our commun­ity. I always­ feel blesse­d! Thanks­ girlie­ for making­ me think of these things­!

    Great post! I have to admit after readin­g I stoppe­d and it got me thinki­ng a bit too. Too often we get caught­ up in our busy lives and don't think too much about things­ we're proud of whethe­r it be large or small. I realiz­ed that there is a lot for me to be proud of...the landsc­aping projec­t that is almost­ done (one more day and it should­ be comple­te), the dining­ room and kitche­n that I painte­d last year after severa­l years of puttin­g if off, the differ­ence that I have made in other people­'s lives by helpin­g out, etc. Like Siddel­y said, I am very proud to be workin­g for DealTa­ker. Not only am I a part of an incred­ible team of people­, but we are all giving­ to the commun­ity and helpin­g people­ save money.
