what are you proud of?
I always open the season with an ice-breaking question during circle time. This spring I asked each Jane to name something she was proud of outside of her job or role as mother. Here is what they said:
” … proud of staying close to her high school best friend; proud of climbing the beanstalk at the children’s museum X 2; proud of her boating skills of reading a novel (I am Charlotte Simmons), of becoming a runner from scratch, of taking the GREs in October, of coming back to the Janes, of teaching her 5 year-old piano, of her relationship with her twin sister, of being the oldest Janes, of starting golf lessons in May, of being told she was the best volleyball coach ever, of coming back to the Janes for more torture, of beginning piano lessons, of publishing a chapter in a textbook, of saying “yes” to herself and learning to say “no” to others, of all the wonderful new friends she’s made in 3 years, of teaching herself to do embroidery, of a 6th grader deciding to do track because of her making a difference, of being a good example to her children.”
I am proud of seejanerun … connecting moms through running.

Joan,
My parents are in a transition period moving from their home of over 30 years in Plymouth, MN.
My mom gave me a box of “keepsakes” last Sunday and I started to look through them. I could not believe what a fantastic experience this was for me!
I have been truly blessed with an amazing amount of love and friendship in my life.
In this box of treasures I came across a picture of 4 little kids, about 11 or 12 years of age, sitting out in front of my parents house at 6521 Centerton Drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
There we are dressed up to go to a birthday lunch with my best friends: Kent, Susan, Joan, and Joel.
My wife, Veronika, suggested that I see if I can find any information out about where everyone ended up. Google can be a great tool!
I could not believe my eyes at the accomplishments of Joan Nesbit!
I am so incredibly proud of you - even though this may mean nothing to you since I have not been part of your life since 1974!
I would love to know how you are doing!
Please drop me a line or give me a call if feel up to it.

I wish I could be a part of your jane group. I’m a runner and a mom and would love to be part of a group like this. Sorry if this is a silly comment, but how can I start/find a group like this near me (near Berkeley)?
