Share five things you’re good at.

This feels like a tough question for me. I don’t ever think about the idea of being ‘good’ at something and then actively sharing that information. Not just because I believe I always have something to learn and improve on, plus being ‘good’ at something could be subjective based on subject matter and preferences, but primarily because it feels a little like I’m stroking my own ego when I DO share. I’m not big on bragging, and I struggle to accept compliments (though I’m getting better and saying “thank you” to the complimenter for the recognition.)

So, what could I be good at? I guess I’m good at painting miniatures but I still see loads of little details that I could work on my technique. I’ll let you all be the judge of that and share a few pictures. (I did paint some of the “Black Rose Wars” figures a couple years ago but hadn’t finished the rest of the sets for the Andromeda and Landsknecht. I’ll show before and after pictures another time.)

I like to think I’m good at cooking and baking.

The third thing that comes to mind is I’m good at playing Magic: The Gathering. My friends and I love to figure out how to create combos with new cards, so we spend a lot of time talking about that weekly/monthly.

Fourth… What could I toss out as fourth? Maybe driving? Seems like something I could say I’m good at considering my post about pet peeves, but maybe I could include navigation in there. I’m decent at the whole defensive driving thing and know how to get around my city fairly quickly.

I don’t know what I could say for a fifth thing I’m good at. Would you all accept “Googling answers for Excel/Microsoft Power Platform” as something someone could say they’re good at? I’ve learned a lot in the last several years just doing that.

That’s what I’ve got. Maybe I should make notes about things like this in a success journal so I can reference them later. Oh well, on to the next!
