stuff I'm good at

So my brain goes about a hundred miles a minute most of the time,and I can't remember a time that it didn't. If I'm not worrying about something, I'm analyzing the heck out of things I've said or done or how people must perceive me. Or what I'm not doing right. So, in an attempt to give myself a little credit I'm gonna make a list of a few things I am good at. I don't think we do that enough.
 #1. I'm really good at making stovetop popcorn. Even the neighbor kids will ask for it.
 #2. Grilling is my job. Always has been. Well, at least since I've been married and I've got a feeling like its gonna stay that way. This brings me to my next thing.
 #3.Chocolate chip cooking making. I'm the go-to-cookie-maker for the family. That's gotta count for something right?
 #4. My mother has given me the name "plant whisperer" because the majority of my indoor plants thrive. I'd like to believe that its something I'm doing so I'll count this as something I'm good at.
 #5. Cutting hair. I've never had formal training but I cut my familys hair -my mothers too- and I think they look pretty good.
#6.Writing. Well, I might not be good at it according to a lot of people's opinions but I sure love to do it.
#7. Finally, I'm a really good observer.Especially of people and their emotions. This sometimes adds to my own emotionally chaotic mind, but it can also be a really good talent.

 So what are YOU good at? Go ahead, make a list. It'll make you feel better.
