“Things I think I’m good at”

As a parent, I often lose faith that I’m doing a good job raising my kids, but then I’ll get a sign that maybe things are going OK after all. Last night, my daughter came into my office to show me a list she made of things she thinks she’s good at. Reading it nearly melted the eight inches of snow outside my window.

Things I think I’m good at.

Math

Soccer

Knowing peoples emotions

Sketching

Run Fast

Swimming

Flipping on trampoline

Singing

Dancing

Making people laugh

Making friends

Writing fast and readable

Being with one another
