My mother in law is the best cook on earth, for example. Believe me, it has been a tough transition for my husband. He is patient, but seriously starved! Sometimes he will sneak over to his mom's house to eat! I have to laugh because I have tried and tried to cook and ya know what? I have come to the conclusion that there are just some things that work for some and not for others! I watch people and try to duplicate it and it is really usually sub par! So sad!
Another talent that is amazing to me is my mom's abiltity to accomplish SO MUCH in a day. She cleans, organizes, bakes, irons, takes care of children, and it is ALWAYS to perfection. She will call me at 7:30 and have done 3 loads of laundry, scrubbed her floors, vaccuumed and started dinner! I listen intently as I fumble for the coffee pot! People are just amazing! I look at my children's art work and know they are gifted thru Frank's side of the family in it. His dad and brother are both artists and I think my oldest may have the gift. I should have known when at 3 she asked me to draw her an animal and when I gave it to her she scrunched her nose, turned her head sideways and said, "well....I think I will have daddy do it. " Hmm.
I am always amazed at what others can come up with. I have decided that my talents are photography and decorating, both of which I am an amateur, but the passion is there. And isn't that what matters....having the passion? I think maybe that is what it all boils down to.
