The value of importance

I'm sitting here thinking back...evaluating myself. In 2010 what did I do that is worth remembering about myself?

I accomplished a lot.

My Associates Degree in English-


I even talked one of my professors into rethinking commas and how they are used.


I wrote new stories.


I read many books

But out of all of these things I don't find any of them worth while yet. Why , well because my kids are not directly involved.

Here are the important things I did:

I planned two birthday parties and made cakes.


I helped my youngest with her science fair project.


I watched a movie with both of my girls every Wednesday for 4 months.


I helped my daughter practice her Gymnastics and learn to spell new words.


I helped my grandmother get groceries all year long because she can't afford it.


I Volunteered my time at the Mercer house.


I encouraged the community to get involved in Open Mic nights.


I helped my fellow peers and my sister pass English class because I wanted to.


But the most important thing I did last year- I was there when my children needed me for encouragement, for commitment, for help, and through the tears.

Whats your most important thing you did last year?
