Great story! It sounds like you have lived a very good life. I know most of us do have our ups and downs but when we look back on it - it wasn't so bad. I really liked this story. Keep up the good work!

Oh yes, learning doesn't cease because of age, when my daughters looked so pleased because they reached that milestone of no nappies, tying shoelaces, dressing themselves, telling time, I can remember some of those times of significance in my own life. Beautifully written Wendy, blessings Roy

Comment from Mintybee
I like this personal essay about achievement. You caught my attention with the small achievements of a child, and then moved into your accomplishments in adulthood. Then you lead up to this current milestone -1000!! Wow! Good for you. Keep writing. We'll keep reading. :)

Comment from Rachelle Allen
WOWIE ZOWIE!!! What a ENORMOUS accomplishment!! I am so seriously impressed with you!! And now also inspired!!
And it's not just the NUMBER, either. Yours are EXCELLENT posts, one and all. I've learned so much from what you've shared on here. And you've broadened my way of thinking, too, both as an individual and as a teacher. Your cheery, candid, forthright way made me much smarter about how to conduct myself even when situations are less than pleasant. There were many a time when I was about to respond one way then honestly stopped and thought, "What would Wendy do?" You've saved more than just a few people from my wrath!!
So, CONGRATULATIONS...and also thank you! Your writings have been milestones in my life, as well. And what better compliment can be bestowed upon a writer, right?! xoxoxxo

Thank you for this wonderful review. You are always so enthusiastic and joyful! I am pleased you like my work as I strive for quality rather than quantity and try to write things which people can relate to in some way so your words are very affirming. Many thanks.

Hello Wendy,
congratulations on your grand achievement, that's quite a milestone indeed. I can't imagine writing that much. There are days when I don't even approach this site, and even then I can go weeks without writing anything. I find your stories meaningful and interesting, and always look forward to reading them. Keep up the good work gal.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
A thousand posts in four years. That means, at almost three years here, I should have 750 posts to keep up with you; I think I have under 200.
And your posts are interesting and well written, and not just thrown together and posted in order to tick off another one done (some writers here seem to do that).
And your series on Jonathan was so moving and inspirational - sad at times, but happy at others.
You deserve to step outside your house and yell to the top of your lungs: I DID IT! Miss Three will be delighted.
Here's to the next thousand (you've got four years beginning NOW).
xoxo

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Well done on the bike ride Wendy, it is good to set ourselves goals, even small goals help us to feel good about ourselves. I recently had a procedure at the hospital and I was terrified, when I went through with it I said (I did it) to myself. I take on many crafting projects and I am always pleased when they turn out well. You have many achievements under your belt Wendy and many challenges ahead, keep going girl! I loved your uplifting post, love Dolly x

Thanks so much, Dolly. Hospital procedures can be scary, (especially for a normally healthy person) but yes, you did it. So well done. Also for each of your accomplishments. Each is very satisfying. Thank you for your encouragement throughout my writing journey.
