We do astonishing stuff all the time, but don't pat ourselves on the back enough. Some of the things you've already done on that list are pretty astonishing :D One Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928028285580684170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-37425209196304713982014-05-12T04:15:01.020-07:002014-05-12T04:15:01.020-07:00Wow, go you.

Does that make sense?! <br />I have been astonished plenty of times by other people but that is never a good thing as you've said. No, if I have done anything remotely astonishing, I would have been fearful but fully expected it of myself anyway - so no, can't say I have astonished myself.
