Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[clappyclaps]

Happy Friday everyone!

1. IT skills - I'm not by any means a technical master, but I'd say I'm fairly proficient when it comes to technology and computers, especially having worked as a systems technical specialist in the past. And this really comes in handy, apart from people always come to my for help at work

2. Baking - unlike TiggerTrigger cake decorating isn't really my thing (dont seem to have mastered professionally decorating a cake), but I bake a lot of other things quite well and they always go down incredibly well with family, friends & colleagues.

3. Puzzle solving - I'm certainly no Sherlock but i always do well solving puzzles whether on paper or in things like escape rooms or events. Currently have a 100% success rate in escape rooms which I'm a little concerned about breaking!

Good Friday Afternoon!!!

Quickie Answers today because I'm at work.....

#1 - Listening - I'm grateful to have been given the gift of being a good listener.

#2 - Organization - I can't stand being disorganized - it stresses me out

#3 - Cooking - I'm not someone that can just make a dinner up, but I do follow recipes well and the outcome is always really good.

I can do math. Not advanced math, but I'm solid right up thru algebra, so I can figure out almost anything I run into in everyday life. I'm also pretty good at teaching it, which my students appreciate.

I can sew. I don't sew a lot anymore, but I made both of my sisters' as well as my wedding dress, and two bridesmaid dresses for each of their weddings. I worked for years as costume mistress/staff for DD's ballet company. I like making pretty things. I am not as fond of mending and doing alterations, but if I have to, I do, if it's something I can handle. I don't sew a lot anymore, but I used to make all my own clothes in jr. high and high school. I suspect I was the bane of the home ec teacher's existence; while everyone else was struggling to make aprons in 8th grade, I was making a velvet gown for a formal winter event I was attending!

I can cook. I need a solid recipe for baking (which is science) but I can cook meals and such without needing recipes to make what I want... and 9 times out of 10, it tastes just like I'd planned!
