Greatest Accomplishment

September 27, 2019 by 35 Comments

Happy Friday! Today (or any day that you are reading this post), Mr. Handsome and I are discussing our greatest accomplishments. One of our readers asked us this question, so we thought we would tackle it in a video. And we would love to hear from you in the comments section. What are your greatest accomplishments? Any type of accomplishment is fair game. Perhaps you have won the Nobel Peace Prize, or maybe the thing that comes to mind is something a little less intense, like what we mentioned. No feat is too small (or too large).

If I had to list another one, I would say hiking to the top of the Big Beehive at Lake Louise, during our trip to the Canadian Rockies two years ago (see photo above). By the time we made it back to our car, we had hiked 8.6 miles and gained an elevation of 1,770 feet.

    Ellie and Mr. Handsome,that sound like great accomplishments! My greatest accomplishment would be learning how to swim when I was 28 yrs. old, that was 38 yrs. ago. It felt great because I was afraid to get in water over my ankles as a young girl.

        I don’t swim much these days. The last time was 3 yrs. ago at my grandson’s indoor pool birthday party.

    My greatest accomplishment is raising 5 productive citizens as a single parent, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of the Lord or my Momma. Their father really missed out.

    My greatest accomplishment is becoming a Marine and earning my bachelor’s degree while still in the service.

      Thank you for your service! Do you move around a lot as a Marine, or are you stationed in one place long-term?

    I worked on a project in school that took 2 years to complete. I was the first girl in the history of the school to attempt such a project. I was recognized for it at the end. The fruits of that project are still multiplying. I won’t get more specific because details don’t matter, only the fact that I did this special thing that impressed all my teachers and the student body, made school history, and is still in use today.

    I also spearheaded a fundraiser that raised a huge amount of money for a child who needed an organ transplant. Those were the days before the Internet or social media or Go Fund Me. It was a lot of work but the family’s expenses were covered for the entire transplant process.

    People can do anything, if they put their minds to it, work hard, and persevere.

      Thanks for sharing both your accomplishments! What a kind thing that you did for that child. I’m sure the family will be forever grateful.

    My greatest accomplishment would be learning how to drive truck and getting my CDL at 32. Most of the male drivers thought it was great seeing a woman driving truck alone especially since it’s not always easy driving and backing up an 18 wheeler.

      That’s great! Bowling is a hard sport (especially when you take the bumpers off, which I can never do, LOL).

    My children are 24, 27, almost 30 and almost 31. When they visit me it surprises them that I still have the family dog 12 and the family cat 16. That’s my accomplishment and what they do is theirs’.

    my biggest accomplishment is climbing scarfell pike mountain in the lake district England in 2012. I had never climbed a mountain before. it was hard work but each time I have a hard time I remember that if I can do that. I can do anything.

    Earlier this year my workplace voted for a frontline hero (a person who has made a positive impact on your working life) and I won this award. this would be another accomplishment as I never thought I stood a chance of winning.

      Congratulations! How long did the mountain climb take you? And that award sounds like a huge honor.

    I came back from acute pancreatitis. I was in a coma and had to have emergency surgery to drain fluid away from my organs. I then had to learn to stand, walk and learn basic movements again AA a 25 year old. I was told I would not live alone or work again. I have my own place and have hold a full time job.

    My biggest accomplishments are earning a PhD, and becoming a mom. These two events both happened within a couple months of each other! I thought I knew the meaning of sacrifice after enduring the journey of graduate school. But the truth is, becoming a parent is the ultimate sacrifice and probably the most gratifying sacrifice too.
    Thanks for a great blog, Ellie!
