Pride

I am so proud of Frank! He is almost finished his MBA. It's been a tremendous amount of work for him and has required much support from his wife! It's not easy to take on extra work and pressure with constantly competing priorities. One more course to go. Good job honey!

It's surprising sometimes to realize what little things can fill you with pride. My kids things daily that I am proud of. Anything from playing alone for more than 5 minutes to accomplishing something new. The things that make me most proud are when they demonstrate that they're developing their "soft skills". Sharing, showing empathy and kindness, etc.

I'm proud of myself, too. Proud that I can honestly say that I stay true to myself. It can be hard to resist outside influences and pressures to do things that I really don't want to do (go back to work for example), but I know that I will look back at this time and be pleased and proud that I chose to stay home.
