Personal - my Etsy shop has pretty consistent business and it pretty much pays for S's preschool every month.

Professional - I've got nothing, lol. This is the worst time of year and I call not crying into a bottle of tequila every night a success

I would slide the success of your Etsy shop under professional and give yourself credit under personal for birthing and nurturing your beautiful boys.

@natariru , my motivation for running falls under the same rubric as my desire for a tattoo. Damned mid-life crisis. The anxiety is real.

Personal: I had a CTJ talk with DH a few weeks ago that has changed my outlook on my marriage. I was becoming resentful and angry. That conversation revealed a lot about DH and myself. We're now both working on being more understanding and taking care of each other. I'm happily married again!

Professional: I'm becoming more confident in my skills and I'm advocating more for myself, my coworkers, and my students. My supervisor gave me kudos for speaking up about a policy that was impossible to adhere to. It wasn't anything major or life changing but it will lower the stress level in our department so I'm happy.
