We All Have Skills

This has become one of my favorite sayings in the world.  Probably because of my favorite families has totally adopted it as their family motto since I went on vacation with them in Palm Springs this summer, which I wrote about here, in case you care.

Although, I use this saying in a playful way when someone usually fails or epically fails at something I am good at.  For example I am bomb at basketball played in a pool, I could dunk all day.  When my friend sucked at it, to point it out/make her feel better I told her we all have skills.   I think it is a better way of looking at life.  For example, that friend is a much better speller than I am.  Whenever she finds a typo in my blog, facebook, lesson plan, she is quick to point it out.  I remind her we all have skills and I feel better about myself.

Today I had a ton of fun getting my school picture ready to send out to the 18 25 people who asked for it on facebook, instagram, or twitter when I posted the following "Pretty Much Oprah Giveaway":

Today I sat down and went through to see if I actually even had 18 likes across the social media networks.  I had over 20 and I was so surprised.  I am pretty sure no one expected me to actually send out my school picture, but Today after work I sat down and wrote cards and put my cute little face in those letters.

 


I really love doing silly little things that do not take a ton of time but let others have a little laugh (maybe at my expense), and also makes them feel a little special. I would say that those are some of my skills.  I will say that I ma way less skilled at actually sending out Christmas cards.  In fact I don't think I will do it at all this year.  Gretchen Rubin in her book The Happiness Project gave me a great idea to send out Valentine's day cards instead.  I will have time to do it and it is sweeter anyway. 

What are some skills you have that you like to share with the world?  What are you totally not skilled at, but it is cool cause we all have skills and someone else can do it anyway?
