Your greatest accomplishment

cbsmokin · 10-29-2008, 04:06 PM

My greatest accomplishments are in phases:

Younger Phase (15): I hiked the entire John Muir Trail. All the way from Mt. Whitney to Yosemite. It was a life changing experience.

Young Adult (19 to 25): Graduated from College and Law School, passed the Bar Exam.

Family Phase (25 to now): Married a great woman and have had three kids that I am still raising.

Professional Phase (30 to now): Started my own business with 1 employee and now have offices in 6 states. I will never work for someone besides myself again.

Next Phase (?????): Doing something that I love that also gives back to the community. What it will be I have not figured out yet.

Cheers to all the great accomplishments! My greatest accomplishment will be if I can follow the doctors orders and not smoke for 2-3 weeks while I have pnuemonia!

22 years of marriage and still counting; daughter coming up on Sweet Sixteen in 3 weeks; son, 11, has mild autism and is an enormous blessing in our lives. And as RevSmoke aptly put it, these aren't really my accomplishments but by the grace of God.

I'll give #1 to my girl Kiera Elizabeth -

And a very close #2 to marrying my wonderful wife Jennifer.
