Day 19 - a talent of yours.
I have no discernible talent.
I guess that is not entirely true. I like to draw and paint, as you know. And craft little things. I like to make up stories. I very much enjoy playing guitar, and I used to be a fairly decent gymnast and cyclist. But what I like to do and inherent talent are two entirely different animals.
When I think about "talent,"I can only think of the word "super power." What is my superpower? I do have super smell. I can smell a moldy anything from across the house. And definitely puke or poop, depending on the child. I guess I can't quite list supersmelling on my resume. I am a smart ass. That is a natural ability.
I'd like to add "community building" to your list of talents. You are doing such a wonderful job at still life 365.

...and a talent for knowing exactly how to make me laugh when things are in the crapper.
ReplyDeleteSince I can answer this one without hijacking too much of your space, I will. I always said that Alan has talents (which I think of as being in the arts) and I have gifts. But my gift is for languages- give me enough time and a single hint, and I can more or less crack 'em, which makes traveling to places like Greece and Iceland a total delight because I am jut high on new vocabulary the whole time. So I guess we have to add geekdom to my gifts.
I think you have a lot of talents! I've always wanted to be able to draw, but I haven't learned how yet. So I live vicariously through you.
ReplyDeletemy dear, you have the ability to draw people in...to engage them and leave them waiting for more: whether it's art, your writing, your company, etc. I agree with Hope's Mama - community building is definitely on your list of talents.
ReplyDeleteEh? No discernible talent?! You have bunches of talents and I'll even credit you with super smell if you want it!
