Go with your strengths

Someone once told me you have to go with your strengths, so obvious, but not always easy to do... Especially when you're not really sure what your strengths are. I can see other peoples, but not my own. Things grow in my garden, but they don't flourish. So even though I enjoy gardening, probably not a strength. I don't have the money to make my house look like a makeover magazine, well, other than the before pictures. But I've made careful choices, so it looks okay. But I lack the patience to make sure the paint is perfect, and catch all the dust bunnies.

Strengths I'm aware of : baking, editing, listening, appreciating the little things that make my days pretty and interesting. Today, it was another berry basket full of blackberries from the yard, acquired with the company of the kitten.

Other strengths :hopefully my job, although I'm better at some parts than others. Poking the bear.

Not good at making other people happy. Hence the title of this blog.
