He batted his eyes and asked, "Is there anything you can't do?"
Really??
[probably one of the nicest things I've heard in a long time, and this person probably didn't even realize it]
I can't do a large number of things. I actually started to list them to myself, and it sucked. I don't like that I can get a bit negative about them. I know that I have a lot to learn about life... But for now, I'm good at:
Running
I adore it. I can go, and go, and go... my mind is clear and I take in every little thing around me. I usually set this experience to a beautiful music choice, and before I know it I'm far from home.
I've even gotten some pals into it.
Believing in things
I have strong faith in the things that I love, and the people that I trust.
I'm good at that. It feels good.
Shape shifting
Psych. But it'd be my super power of choice.
Calming you
I listen. And when someone's hurting or stressed, it makes me feel good to talk them down again. I like reminding people that there are still things to be happy about.
I'll put jam on your nose.
Bonus combo points if you get that reference.
Being a Dog Person
But, I can't take credit for that because it's sooooooooo easy.
Singing
Good God, am I talented. And humble, too.
Dealing with, and HEALING my Crohn's Disease-
on my own.
It's not easy.
AT ALL. But I'm so close to remission, I can taste it. It's extremely difficult to change your entire life to fight a disease. I'll never take my life for granted. I have tremendous respect for anyone doing the same. Nothing can touch us. Not even our sicknesses.
Stay tough. You're amazing.
Untying Knots
This includes separating necklaces that tangle in a jewelry box.
[I actually really like doing this]
Illustration
I feel a burning to make the creatures that I think up real.
Sticking up for someone
I don't care how big the bully is. I fight for anyone who needs help.
Bring it.
Being Creepy
[should I have left this one out, ya think?]
Eying things
Artists have an eye for specific things. Shape, balance, symmetry. I like that I am usually semi-accurate in my guestimations.
Speaking of Balance...
Before I was sick [I'm still rebuilding strength], I had incredible balance. I love yoga, pilates, and dance. I never lost my footing. Until the snow fell.
Making you laugh
Before I got sucked into the life of a lowly waitress, I had dreams of making it to SNL. I am silly. So silly, and it feels so good. When I'm being an idiot [with amazing comedic timing], I make people giggle. You don't stand a chance.
I am far from accomplishing life goals that I have set for myself. But when you focus on the things that you are successful in, or proud of, you're reminded that you're a pretty special person. And you can do anything that you want to.
What are you good at?

I'm good at surviving in places other humans feel are inhospitable: remote foreign countries, fly-over states, my job. But surviving is only step one. Once you stop worrying about that, you have to thrive...you have to...or you start worrying about surviving again.
