So, I think it is healthy to allow yourself to acknowledge and take pride in things that you have worked hard to achieve and managed to accomplish. I don't see it as arrogant or boastful, I see it as real. What drove me to this understanding was my two kids. Again and again people praised them, and me for having raised them and I always shied away from it. Then they told me that without my sacrifice and direction, they wouldn't be the same people and that they WANTED me to take a little credit for that because THEY thought I deserved it. So, okay all those years of knowingly putting them first, going without a life etc helped produce these two lovely people? Holy ****balls that felt good. So, I ask you...
