Hey everyone!
Whenever I have to think about myself, my characteristics, and I have to ponder my defects and my qualities, often happens to me to realize that what might seem, at a quick glance, as an imperfection can be useful, and even a skill, in some occasion.
The difference is to learn how to put our skills to use. Or, better, the thing is to learn about ourselves and find a way to make our characteristics, the good and the bad, to work as an advantage, and to make us special, unique.
Whether it is the skill to make the world looks better, (like oneoftwocams)
Or the ability to do a lot of things at the same time (like myselfinpieces),
our skills are our weapons to conquer the world and to accomplish our dreams, and they’re a waste if not put to use.
Even if the skill is to stare at the computer. (Like renr)
I really enjoy this month’s challenge! I hope you enjoyed it too.
five sweet peas - good at being on time - but looks to me like she is good at juggling 2 kids [oops make that 3] and the shopping at the same time too.
It is no great secret I adore clothes for little girls (unless you don’t read my blog or know me in real life and then you’re probably reading this, thinking “um - it is to me???”). When I was a child I did not like dressing frilly or girly. I went from one bad stage to the next… to worse. I think poor Nana was thrilled when my sister turned out to be the ultimate frou frou, frock-wearing, tattle-telling, can’t get the shoes dirty, hair in a bow every day, perfect little girl. (at least for the 1st part of her life) :)
Thankfully, I have a middle-of-the-road child. She doesn’t go nuts to dress up in tutus or put flowers in her hair - but she does let me do these things to her on occasion. And through her, I can see what life would have been like had I not been beating up all the little boys and wearing Chucks with my Sunday School clothes.
I wish I could sew - I wish I could think up things to make for Faith.. and then create them. I am amazingly jealous of the talent people have who can design things for other people to wear. My mother and both my Grandmothers were so talented with the sewing machine. If only I had inherited one iota of stitching ability. If only I had paid attention. Oh well..
I love visiting Rebekah’s blog all the time to see what she’s up to. I loved her picture this week. I can just imagine the pride she feels when she finishes one of her creations. And then to see it on someone she loves. How very cool.
