Another great thread idea to bring out the positive in everyone. It’s great to hear the stories people have shared. Being proud of things in your life is a great feeling and we all need those more than ever these days. It’s good every now and again to give yourself a pat on the back as much as many of us are always our own worst critics.
I think the thing I’m most proud of is the nonprofit I started in my local area to pick up litter. We’ve hosted over 200 events, picked up nearly 200,000 pounds of trash, and I’ve actually made it my “full time” job. I put that in quotes since I really only get paid 20 hours per week, but I’m putting in a solid 40 either way. It’s really growing and I’m actually adding my first employee other than myself this month. I’m bummed that there is that much litter in my area to warrant creating this nonprofit, but I’m proud of the fact that for 10 years I’ve managed it and we’ve continued to grow, both in the number of events we host and in the number of volunteers we bring in each month.
