Share five things you’re good at.

Good is a relative term, so I will say, “In my opinion” I’m good at a few things. We’ll say these five:

I’ve always been an above average reader. Reading is one of my happy activities, its an escape of sorts, and important for higher learning as well. I don’t just read for pleasure.

I’m good at driving, even if my control freak of a husband tries to make me think otherwise. He’s just a scardy cat. On top of that, I love to drive. I don’t get the chance that often anymore, now that we are down to one car.

I’m a creative. Creating things also makes me happy. I write, I craft, I even think more creatively than some. I think I’m pretty good at the creative projects I tackle, but I’ve had my fair share of failures too. That’s what practice is for.

Singing. Again, my opinion, but I have been singing since I was a toddler, but I’m no Mariah Carey, though I can sing some of her songs very well. I wish I was as good, just so my husband won’t give me ‘that look’ when I decide to belt one out. Music is a mood lifter.

As most of you know and even a few would agree, I love to take and use my pictures for my blog posts. Some of my photos have been pretty good, not that I’ve ever won a prize or anything. I think they are good and it brings me happiness to look at the few good ones I take.

I published a small poem on Facebook the other day about how we “get around” and one of my Jupiter friends asked me if I was a poet. I told her it was one of my hidden talents. Its been homes over the years because of people like Esther Chilton and her writing prompts. Limericks in particular. But I wish I was a better writer in general.

Maybe someday, with more practice.

I just noticed the things I think I’m good at, are all things that bring me joy. Coincidence?
