10 Days of Thanksgiving (Gifts and Superpowers)

Day 2 and this one is much harder for me to write about.

Day 2 prompt (courtesy of @chookoloonks):  Today, I’d love if you’d grab your journal and make a list of things that you’re really good at.

I love that Karen calls them Gifts and Superpowers.   At first I laughed a bit then I remember how what I can do sometimes impacts people (namely my children) in significant and important ways.  But it’s not in my nature to think about the things I do well.  Too often we are focused on the things we don’t do well.

So, what do I do well?

I can…

  • make an amazing cheesecake and from scratch pie crust.
  •  make really great homemade toffee (thanks to Rebecca’s mom).
  • fix a boo-boo with a band-aid and a kiss.
  • put my kids to be in record time.
  •  read a book really fast.
  • think outside of the box.
  •  cook.
  •  take pretty awesome photos.
  • pick out a good bottle of wine.

I am also a great listener and friend.

While at first glance, it doesn’t seem like much, I have to say I have some gifts to share.  While this list isn’t inclusive of everything, it is a good reminder of the little things that I have to offer that so often get overlooked.
