My latest SwapBot project is to brag about at least 10 things in your life. I sat down to write a list and decided to share it here. The rules say "Do not mention what you are bragging about then turn it into a negative comment."
1. Proud of being married for 58 years (59 in June)
2. Gave birth to 5 children naturally...no drugs...and breastfed all 5 until at least a year and a couple for longer.
3. Was a La Leche League leader for about 7 years. Wrote and published the state newsletter.
4. Learned cake decorating and started a cake decorating business, working from home, when there was no real “bakery” in town other than Safeway. Made some cakes I am very proud of!
5. Co-author of 2 books about The Lamplighters, a Gilbert & Sullivan theater in San Francisco. I am proud of being in the Library of Congress twice.
6. Proud of my friendship with the musical director of The Lamplighters. When he died, I was responsible for cleaning out his house.
7. Proud of learning medical transcription and working as a medical transcriptionist for 20 years.
8. Proud of being a theater critic for 12 years, and writing other columns thru the years.
9. Proud that I have a close friendship with my adult children.
10. Proud of hosting some 70 foreigners from 14 different countries, visiting this country to learn English (and proud of picking up conversational Portuguese from all the Brasilians living here)
11. Proud of my daily on-line journal, now in its 24th year (more than 8,500 entries)
12. Proud of sponsoring many kids around the world through Compassion, Int’l since 2008.
13. Proud of fostering some 100 dogs for the SPCA (and adopting 3 of them)
14. Proud of writing to more than 50 pen pals.
15. Proud of letting my head be shaved to raise money for research on child cancer.
