I was recently asked to submit a post that I was proud of.
"Proud of?" I bit my lip and held my breath.
Am I proud of anything in particular? If I had to choose one post that represents me, which would it be?
Good Lord! I've been writing here for over 4 years! How can I pick one post out of the 1097 that I've written? Some are horrendous. Some are sappy. Many are posted without much editing, thrown into the swirl of words that is the internet. Several are written at 2 am in the throes of an attack of insomnia. Picture posts, kiddy posts, whining-about-money-posts.
How do you define yourself in just one post?!?
I finally selected one that I am proud of. After submission, I realized that it would most definitely be thrilling to be chosen to read it, but not being selected won't negate my pride. And it led me to wondering...
What one post are you proudest of? What post defines who you are?
Would you care to share it? I'd love to read it. I'd love to share it, too.
So, here's the deal. Send me a link with the title of the post and name of your blog, and I'll make a list that I'll post on my site. Whatever strikes your fancy, whatever you want; just a post that may have gotten lost in your archives and deserves another chance in the spotlight. There's no ending date to the list; I'll update it as long as I receive your links.
I'll start with the post that I sent in for submission...

Well, I'm not one to turn down the opportunity to talk about myself....
One of my favorite posts that I wrote (in my whole 3 months of being a blogger) is this one - http://notinadequate.com/2010/07/07/trauma/ because I just think it's funny.
Thanks, Tracey!
Wow, that's really hard. But I love this idea! Go, Tracey!
I dug around in the archives for awhile and found this one. I'd almost forgotten about it: http://honestandtruly.blogspot.com/2008/07/toss-that-stain-stick.html
And no, the pics don't do her justice.
What a great idea for a post. Let me dig up my archives for a minute. :)
I LOVE this idea and will be scouring my blog for mine. I just went back and read yours. You have such reason to be proud.
I think I blog for validation in current times and a record for the future.
What a cool idea!!
Ok, I did some digging, and came up with this one: http://ravens-rook.blogspot.com/2010/01/tempting-universe.html
Okay, I found it. I don't know if it's my very favorite but I'm pretty proud of it: http://shesjustanothermanicmommy.blogspot.com/2008/12/god-bless-us-every-one.html
I'm such a geek, but I'm most proud of all of them
No kidding.
This was the best I could come up with, not because I'm proud but because the only time I truly like myself is when I am writing poetry...or thinking it out...or experiencing it.

This is a very neat idea. :) I remember the post you are most proud of. I loved it then, and I love it now.
I love this idea.
I have two. I hope that is okay. :)

I've always liked this one called "The Gerbil Chronicles" on my blog Our Little Corner.

I was just going to spend a few minutes checking out what you've been up to before I headed to bed ... That was an hour ago! But I think I found the post I want:
"Happiness" by Fluffy Bunnies (http://myfluffybunnies.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/five-for-ten-happiness/)
I don't know about proudest, but perhaps most reflective of my daily thinking.

Okay, I'll bite. I've chosen something professional. I've got schmoozy stuff, but I found this one quickly and I like it. I've never stood up to the President of the United States before, especially one I voted for.

Okay Tracey, I've got another one, a better one. You don't have to post this one. It can be just for you.

I am proud of myself for being an Ageless mom!
I was almost hopeless about my beauty at this middle age. But thanks... Ageless helped me regain my lost confidence!
