List Fun, My Accomplishments for the Last Year
I have missed List Fun being away, so here goes this week’s list, list my accomplishments for the past year. You can read more about the list at Listography.
Let’s see, I guess we will start with the bigger, more obvious accomplishments and get smaller:
1. I opened a real boutique in my home town of Elkins Park, Pa.
2. I kept up writing my blog, averaging about 4 posts a week, and I still like doing it!
3. I have learned even more about web design, uploading videos and making them.
4. More paintings in my portfolio, watercolors and oils and I love them!
5. I made some of my artwork into jewelry.
6. I can think of lots more, like I have kept healthy, life is good, but is that really my accomplishment?
What have you accomplished?

List Fun: Reasons I Love My Country
Ok, so this is an easy list week, list the reasons I love my country! For more information on the Listography Lists, go to Here.
People who know me well, know that I am patriotic and am a liberal, gosh, do they go hand in hand?
Here is my list:
1. My mother’s family arrived in Massachusetts in 1639 and my family was a part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, so I feel like I have deep roots in this country.
2. Our constitution.
3. Our Bill of Rights.
4. Admitting our mistakes, it takes awhile, but we have a national discussion about race, slavery, the native american issue, etc.
5. We have a museum in D.C. that is all about how we treated the Native Americans, all out in the open.
6. We have a truly diverse country, visit Australia and you will see what I mean.
7. The incredible beauty.
8. Freedom of expression, I know I already listed the Bill of Rights, but this is so incredible that it deserves to be mentioned by itself.
9. A belief in human rights
10. We assist each other on a citizen level, like in disasters, a local knitting group around the corner has organized blankets to be sent to the children in Missouri.
Sailing Home
Ok, that is all for now. What are your reasons?

List Fun: Most Memorable Co-Worker
I am back participating in the fun Listography! If want more information about this, click here.
This week’s list is list the most memorable co-worker from your past. Wow, I can barely remember names from 2 days ago of people I met, let alone from my past! But, my favorite past job by far was when I worked as a nurses aid in high school through graduate school. Many of the nurses I worked with were memorable in that they taught me compassion and empathy for people who were suffering that I barely knew. I feel working in the hospital taught me so many life lessons about realizing what is really important in life, i.e., health, family, a good attitude, and being kind. Thank you nurses from my past for teaching me those virtues!
