What is the thing you most wish you were great at?
There are a lot of things that I wish I could do better: dancing, drawing, singing...just to name three off the top of my head. However, I wouldn't put any of those as the thing I most wish I was great at.
The things I most wish I was great at doing would be making things with my hands. Your grandpa, (my dad) is great at making things. He sees something, plans it out, and makes it out of wood or metal. He has made their dining room table, our TV stand, my CD rack, your cradle and dresser, the headboard in the guest room, just to name a few things. I admire that talent and just don't have it. I can see things and see how they would go together, but I just can't make things.
My good friend Tennele makes all sorts of creative things. She makes all sorts of cards that are absolutely gorgeous. She made your baby shower invitations, the thank you cards for that shower, the letters of your name which are on your bedroom wall. She sees something, plans it out, and then can make it and it looks gorgeous. Once again, I admire her talent and just don't have that skill. I want to be creative and make cool looking things like she does, but I don't have the skill or patience.
Another good friend of mine, Wendi, does the same thing. She makes amazing baked goods. Her cupcakes are incredible and in some many different flavors and styles. She does the cool looking frosting too. And her skills extend beyond that. She made all the little turtles that line the top of your dresser. She made the incredibly cute diaper cake for your shower too. She gets ideas and can make them into amazing creations. She isn't afraid to try something to see how it will work or to try new things and they are all amazing! I can bake and cook, but I don't have the skill to make the beautiful creations that Wendi can make.
So with those three examples of creative people in my life (and they aren't the only ones), it definitely makes me wish that I was great at those types of things. I do have many skills and talents, but that is one area that I am lacking and if I were given the opportunity to be great at something, it would definitely be the ability to make wonderful things with my hands. Maybe you will have those creative skills that I don't have.
