Some people are born with great voices, the ability to play instruments, dance beautifully or paint masterpieces.
I can do none of it. Singing, yikes, no. Riverdance is never going to call me. I have trouble playing a radio and I draw stick figures. I can sew a button on but that's it.
Yes, you can take lessons for these things but I think you need some natural talent.
Do you have a natural talents?

I have a "Lead Foot" when driving my little car...Does that count?

@Mistic Ah, that would be a no. lol My daughter has one too and it drives (no pun intended) me crazy.

Umm...How about Riding My Broom on a nice Full Moon night? When the wind is just right, it's a really smooth ride.

I play several instruments: flute, piano, sax (preferably tenor but I can also play alto), and piccolo (which is like a small flute).
Can't draw worth a darn. Wish I could sing, but not all that great at it.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 You don't have to be born with a talent; you can develop skills that enable you to sew, do art and crafts or any number of things. You don't have to perform on a professional level to enjoy an activity. You've got many years ahead of you in retirement. What are you going to do with them? Now's the time to get busy and find an activity you enjoy. You might need to try several before finding the right fit. You'll be very bored if you don't find something to do. Call your senior center and sign up for something.

Everyone's has talents and they differ from person to person. Talents aren't always artsy like singing and dancing or painting.
Maybe you can rock a baby to sleep when others have failed or help somone learn to do something are struggling with. Perhaps you are a good listener or a great writer.
Can you cook or bake? Furnish and decorate a home? Make people laugh?
I can multi task well. I can read a book while I watch TV or while I am talking on the phone. I can carry on a conversation while typing something unrelated.
I have a super sonic memory and my hearing is fantastic. I can really hear a pin drop.
These aren't talents that people notice, but they are unique to me. I am grateful for them.

@Mistic Now your are talking. Balancing on a broomstick while airborne is a talent.

@Carmie I have a great memory too. I don't consider it a talent. It's both a blessing and a curse.
It was an asset when I worked.
However, you remember the terrible moments in life as well as the good.
