The ability to learn and think outside the box. Everything else is secondary.

I can do a little bit of a whole lot of different things, and there are a few things I know a whole lot about. I don't know everything there is to know, but I try to make sure I know a little bit about as much different stuff as possible.

Not all of these are mastered; still working on some. 1. Legal analysis of most issues (but avoid divorce like the plague) and how it might change something; affect someone or a class of people. 2. Negotiating with insurance companies, state and federal agencies, big Fortune 50 companies (because I don't care which makes me pretty fearless - not necessarily smarter) 3. Gardener - organic mostly. 4. Been told I am a fair cook. Love to cook on woodstoves. 5. Really good at moving:( packing  decorating with no $$ 6. I show up. Always. I go to hospitals when you are sick, I show up and hold your hand when something goes wrong. I don't have much to say, but I show. Found out how important just showing up is/was when our son died. 7. Canning (water bath only so far) 8. Dehydrating 9. Finding most anyone on the internet and finding facts most can't find. Kinda like detective work but not really for criminals. 10. Reading laws and understanding who they might affect. Formulating public comments to change them. 11. Organizing space, work, people, garages 12. Travelling without whining. 13. Enjoying a lot or a little - whatever God has planned- again no whining. 14. Making others feel better about themselves or their lot in life. 15. Designing a kitchen (ok it does come in handy when you move as much as we have or help others with theirs! Why do people who move a lot always have the same kind of friends - who also mov often?) 16. Being a mom, wife, daughter and sister. Seems like all require different skills. |
