Come on...let it out. What are or were you really, really good at?

Maybe this is something you were interested in "since forever" and developed it into a meaningful part of your life.

 

Or, perhaps you inherited a gene, made the best of it and now have a profession or avocation base on it.

 

Or, perhaps you learned an entirely new body of knowledge in a new profession and simply grew and grew with it to the extent that it "made" you who you are today.

 

Or, tell us what your "or" is.

 

*Perhaps you were declared a genius or prodigy in ______.

 

Think it over and share, if you'd like.

While I love all forms of art, I have always been drawn to Early American art forms.  Since my childhood.  In my old age, I can say I have tried many.  It makes my heart sing.

 

I am a genius in nothing.  In one’s lifetime, my thought is that most of us can barely “scratch the surface.”  Hey, I always told my children this saying:  If you are great in anything, someone else will do your bragging for you.

I learned to sew at around 8 when my mom taught me on her new Singer machine--1960 or so---I'm 64 now but due to numbness from chemo in my hands/fingers, very hard to do the more detailed things I used to. Loved arts and crafts too. Had an affinity for stenciling. I sewed up clothing, and window treatments-----would have loved a serger back then too.  I worked in a garment manufacturer and learned on the industrial machines.

I'm really flexible, so I used to win every limbo contest. Does that count as a talent? lol
