Talents and Curiosity

I saw this quote on olderandwisor.blogspot.com, a blog I just found that I'm in love with!

It really hit me as I read it.

I feel like it describes me...kinda.

I don't feel that I have no special talents.

Unless the definition of special used is "distinct" or "peculiar".

Then, no, I have no special talents.

But, I do have talents that are special to me.

Anyway, I really liked the quote and thought it interesting that it was good ol' Albert who said it.

I do think I could use a bit more childlike curiosity.

Which is why I am glad that I found pinterest!

There are so many brilliant things that spark my interest and curiosity.

I need to make more time to devote to projects I find there.

Also...

I have this theory that I would be good at anything I try.

Not at an olympic, award-winning, or I-have-a-phd-in-that sort of way, but good none the less.

I feel this way about my cooking, cleaning, crafting, couponing, singing, instrument playing, interior designing, mothering, and other skills I have.

And I feel like I would be good and learning a new language, sewing, writing a book, baking/candy making, photography, etc.

Is that so self-centered?

I kinda feel like it is, but I also feel like it's ok to think that, as long as I don't let it get to my head and act all full-of-myself-don't-you-wish-you-were-like-me.
