Share five things you’re good at.
I’m good at building IKEA furniture. I have a drawer full of odd sized allen wrenches to prove it.
I’m good at consuming copious amounts of coffee. I’ve mentioned my early addiction in other posts. Coworkers from twenty years ago still send me funny coffee memes. Dark roast, strong, black, and hotter than average (not old school McDonald’s hot, though). Ah, nectar of the gods.
I’m good at making a big salad. My hubs never thought a salad could be a meal until I made him one of mine. A good salad should have a type of cheese, a fruit and a nut. Typically, I’ll do blueberries, but apple is good also and pairs well with chicken. I love all cheeses. Sometimes, I can’t make up my mind and will use two types, like feta and havarti together. I don’t eat nuts as much as I used to because they are high oxalate (I have kidney stone issues). Almonds were my go-to for quite a few years, but they are off limits now. I’ve had to alter my stance on nuts to include seeds. It works out because pumpkin seeds are a tasty substitute.
I’m good at practicing my double bass. I’m not a great bass player. However, I think I will be someday. It should happen if I continue to be good at practicing it. I play almost every morning before I log in for work. Like everyone else, I wish I could skip to the part where I don’t suck. I will say, though, that I really enjoy this morning routine, almost as much as my first cup of coffee.
Lastly, I’m good at adapting. This is actually my superpower. Early on, I noticed many people stress out over change. They lose their minds only to get used to it. Then they lose their minds all over again when the change they hate changes again. Remember the early years of Facebook and people crying, “Bring old Facebook back!!” It was the social media battle cry from 2008 – 2010. 😂
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” ~ Darwin
According to some reports, Darwin never actually said this. The quote is attributed to Leon C. Megginson, a business professor, and is used most commonly in management studies. Whatever – I agree no matter who said it.
Life is a dark ride
