Walking Forward to the Beginning (Book 5)

Accomplishments

Not too often
Are we allowed to be
Proud of our
Accomplishments
So I challenged
My friends on Facebook

To list every accomplishment
In their lives
That they are proud of
Could be big or small
So that their friends could
Share in their joy

In a world of
Much negativity
And division
Let's show that humanity
Is and indeed can be
Very happy

Mine in no particular order are:

1) Being part of my city's
Nutcracker performance by singing in HS.
2) Singing the National Anthem at Radio City
Music Hall in NYC alone in front of 6K people.
3) Publishing my poetry book.
4) Completing my MBA.
5) My abilities as a photographer and making my Grandfather proud.
6) Writing 9 other books of different genres
7) Facing my fears and phobias (water near/in nose, heights by zip lining and parasailing, etc).
8) Completing my Scuba Open Water Certification (Finally!).
9) Worked with kids with special needs for close to a decade.
10) Doing my doctorate while keeping a 4.0 GPA and recently receiving a small scholarship.
11) The most important to me is being 26 months and counting into recovery from a deadly and debilitating illness that nearly took my life. Though G-d and my angels turned me into a miracle, I proceed to inch forward in hopes that every accomplishment of mine will be a beacon of hope for those who continue to struggle.

I've listed mine
Now it's your turn
Will you answer this challenge,
This call to your accomplishments?
