Do you blow your own trumpet?

[iamawriter]

Blowing one's own trumpet is to talk about one's own achievements. I get tempted to do it as many who blew my trumpet are no more.

Just when I thought there were none this niece sends me a wish on my birthday with the following message

"Happy birthday dearest Aunty Gracy! Always upbeat, tech savvy, kind and generous, the best party organizer I know, great writer, gardener, flower arranger, pet spoiler and I am sure a host of hidden talents I haven't discovered yet! Have a wonderful day"

What I am doing now is blowing my own trumpet by posting it here😀😀😀

Sometimes, I do, if asked, but I rarely like to discuss my accomplishments.

It is something that I tend to keep to myself.

However, I used to brag about my own milestones, and accomplishments, and not remain humble. Which, is something that I didn't agree with myself, and I decided to change that aspect of myself.

These days hardly anyone will talk about someone else's achievements and it becomes necessary sometimes for individuas to tak about it

I'm not one to blow my own trumpet since I don't like being the center of attention, even if it's for something good I've done.

If no one talks about you don't you think the world should know who you really are?

I mainly only do if it comes up in conversations. I try not to do it too much. I don’t have that much to brag about anyways. 😅

Before someone else claims credit for what you have done it is better you set it straight

I don't really do it in general, but if it were to be relevant to the conversation, I might bring it up. I generally just try to stay humble.

In today's world no one will highlight your capabilities and on the contrary there are instances where what you have done someone else might try to take credit for If you are experiencing this it is time you opened up.

I don't own a trumpet, so I can't blow one! 😄

The only instrument I can still play these days is the one nature gave me... and that tends to make a rather different sound! 💨😂

Still, when someone sends such a lovely birthday message, I think you're allowed a little celebratory toot now and then!

"Have you been naughty or nice?" this sure fits you perfectly

Yes. How could I have ignored such a wish that I was presented with at my rather ripe old age. So I decided to blow my own trumpet with it.

Thank you for noticing it.

I'm proud of my achievements, but I don't show off.

Not every achievement can be kept under wraps
