What is your greatest accomplishment so far? How long did it take you to do it? What was so hard about it? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page 1071).
"Greatest"
in the question means to me the "most significant". A
great achievement has been my continuing to be employed responsibly
with one employer for nearly 30 years. But to my mind this does not
get to the heart of the matter of measuring accomplishment. I think a
better measure of accomplishment is that I have maintained close
friendships over the years--some of them measurable and describable
only in terms of son-ship, sisterhood and brotherhood. And off the
charts was my marriage to Kathy. When the vacuum of not having a
mate was resolved in a manner that was profoundly positive and
meaningful, words cannot express the sense achievement and the
attainment of peace.
Yet
the greatest and most significant accomplishment is something I had
little to do with. Clearly I was more recipient than agent. That
involves the clarity with which I have been given to appreciate the
force, power, and practical applicability of creative love. A lot of
people have and do appreciate this. It is not unique in any
way other than I now experience it personally with absolute assurance
and certitude.

Feeling Stronger Everyday Lyrics
Songwriters:
Peter Cetera, James Pankow
I
do believe in you and I know you believe in me, oh yeah, oh yeah.
And
now we realize love's not all that it's supposed to be, oh yeah, oh
yeah.
And
knowing that you would have wanted it this way,
I
do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day.
I
know we really tried, together we had a love inside, oh yeah, oh
yeah.
So
now the time has come for both of us to live on the run. oh yeah, oh
yeah.
And
knowing that you would have wanted it this way,
I
do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day.
After
what you've meant to me, ooh baby now, I can make it easily.
I
know that we both agree the best thing to happen to you
is
the best thing that happened to me.
Feelin'
stronger every day, feelin' stronger every day.
Feelin'
stronger every day (you know I'm alright now),
feelin'
stronger every day (you know I'm alright now)…
