Thanks ladies for pointing that out to me....yet another thing I've learned about myself from here...makes sense!

That's a good start for me Junebug..and so true!

 

[shimmerz]

ummmmm, nothing comes to mind.....

lol. You guys are liking my post because you noticed that about me too? :cool:

 

[illusionist]

I'm liking your post because you don't see what others see....normal for us.

One thing, amongst others, is that you excel in standing up for others...certainly obvious on here.

 

[shimmerz]

because you don't see what others see

That complicates things. :hug:'s @illusionist !

I'm pretty good at writing. I used to have other talents that seem like they have become extinct, but the writing has been a constant since childhood.

 

[sun seeker]

does that count?

It would if you were acting that role in a play.

(I'm not saying I agree with you, based on your contributions here which are often very helpful. Just trying to find a creative outlet.)

Quote.... "I'm pretty good at writing. I used to have other tale"

I used to write quite a lot as well, used to write short stories for the news paper on the BBC web site.

Did that for a few years, then round about the time of my wife's passing, I just couldn't do it any more, I tried but it didn't flow from me like it used to?

It used to be that when I was in full flow, I would write quite a lot without stopping to correct my mistakes, in case it broke the flow, then go back and fix them.

This I/Pad would have been great for me back then, as it corrects my mistakes as I type, but the art of writing anything seems to have left me altogether these days, pity really, as I used to enjoy it, and reading the feed back on my home page, always filled me with pride.

That's another thing that seems to allude me these days.

I am good at fixing things and building functional items from "junk".

Yes, I understand this. My writing is not what it used to be either, but I am still able on some level. Maybe it takes setting the mark in a different place, I don't know...

It's hard to be creative in any way when you are depressed or grieving. But we can give ourselves credit for trying, right?

I have the amazing talent for tying the most intricate knots in things like headphone cords, key lanyards, decorative light srings or electrical cables. All I have to do, is place any of the aforementioned objects into my pocket or a box.

Then simply wait a little while. Then, presto! Out comes one unbelievably complicated knot that takes me the better part of an hour to untie.

I'm so good at it, even I don't know how I do it.
