Today’s challenge topic is A skill I wish I had….When I think of this, my mind wanders all over the place, I can’t settle on any one thing, but I’m watching the Olympics as I write this, and here is what I keep coming back to.
I wish I had the skill these athletes have to compete at that high of a level. Don’t get me wrong, I am capable of playing sports, in fact, I LOVE to play sports. But I don’t have the skill level that they do. Maybe because I don’t have the drive inside of me to be the best at any of them. I love playing softball most of all, but I love volleyball and roller derby as well.
Aside from that, the only other things I can think of I’m not sure are skills. I would love to be able to keep my house clean, but try as I might, it just doesn’t happen. Or I would love to be able to stay organized, but I think these two things kind of play together….
How about you my lovely readers, what is a skill that you wish you had?
I wish I knew more about power tools. How to use them, how to put things together, how to install stuff… you know, I am going to fix that… you watch me!
Not me…if I know how to use them, then I’m expected to! When i learned to change a tire, I swore my teacher of that skill to secrecy so I would only have to do it myself if nobody else would….is that horrible of me?
There is something motivating about watching the athletes when you think of the drive and determination it took to get to the Olympics. Maybe it has to do with finding their passion and loving what they do. I don’t know…but it has been inspiring to watch the Olympics.
I get goose bumps and tear up every time the U.S. wins a gold!
I don’t think keeping a house clean is a skill. If so, I would be so lacking it would be embarrassing. There are only so many hours in the day to accomplish things. My motto is that it’s more important to spend the time with my family and that it will always be there tomorrow. 🙂
That’s how I feel about it too! I quickly realized, as soon as I pick up the toys and stuff, Maggie gets this crazy look in her eyes that says, hey, my mom cleaned that spot up so I can put things there! And that’s exactly what she does.
Housecleaning is extremely overrated!
Agreed!
Playing any kind of sport takes skills! BUT cleaning the house, and watching over children takes love, patients and skills (of a different kind)
I do agree. I’ve got the love and patience, maybe some of the skill for it.
