Instead of systematically naming all the people and objects that are indespensible to my daily life, I thought I'd really challenge myself to trying to think of things about myself I am thankful for as well. So today I will take on that challenge.
I really am thankful that I have the ability to pick up new skills and do a vast variety of things. Sometimes I think my inability to specialize and be exceptionally good at any one thing is annoying and limiting. I was never that good at music, I could play technically alright, and I could put some emotion into it, but I was never that good and I just couldn't get any better. I feel that way about a lot of the things I do, draw, house projects, programming. However, I am very thankful, that I can do that many different things. It does let me have a lot more options for things I can do, even if I'm not the best at any of them. I like that I know I can do just about everything, as long as it interests me.
Yeah, see, pretty much all I can do is write. Occasionally, I make a decent dinner, and sometimes I don't screw up helping my kids with homework. Mostly, I just write. One thing, they usually know they can count on having an editor for their papers, though, judging by their grades, they don't invite me into that world often enough!!!
