As the questions ask...
I love to dance and am quite good at dancing. I studied almost 10 years of ballet, and also love other forms of dance (modern, jazz, hip hop, etc.) I almost went into dance, professionally, but things changed. I love to sing, but no one else would want to hear my singing. I guess a dog might not howl, but that's not saying much. |

I love playing instruments. I played the violin for a long time and was in various orchestra classes growing up, now I play the ukulele.

I loved playing my guitar and singing to my last dog. He'd lay on the futon and I'd sit at my desk and play and sing and when I looked back at him he'd already be asleep lol.
Something I love to do that i suck at is working out. During this pandemic, about 2 weeks ago, i started working out 6 days week. All i have is a yoga mat, a bed, a desk chair, a tub of whey protein and 2 sets of dumbbells with 32lbs spread between them. The first couple of days after my first workout was hell. I couldnt do a single rep at 16lbs so I went down to 10lbs. Then I brought it back up and never looked back. I love arm day. The exercise I love the most is bicep curls. The exercise I love to hate is flys. I'm going to start adding decline pushups to chest day and look for other exercises to make flys less loathsome. |

There is nothing that I am absolutely great at. I am kind of a "jack of all trades, master of none" but I love doing everything. Some things I am better at than others.......but everything I do, I try hard to do good & enjoy doing.
Music.....flute player until 13 years ago & got my AA degree in music. Loved performing in chamber groups. Technical.....ended up getting my BS degree in Accounting & Computer Science. Career was mostly firmware desigh & implementation for military communications systems (years ago) loved the challenge of my career & I still love to play around with technical stuff & set things up for my non- technical friends. Racquetball....loved playing & competing in tournaments.....lots of trophies & most of my competitions were against guys. No longer play as there is nowhere to play where I live now. Winter snow sports....loved downhill skiing & x-country & even snowshoeing.....& snowmobiling. Now I just hike into my woods on my farm when it snows. Interior decorating (though my house now doesn't look that way) Landscaping & working in the yard (now work on my farm) very relaxing. I liked breeding, raising, training & showing my eskie dogs but now I just love getting to enjoy them as my family. Love dressage horse back riding & showing. I now have a horse again with me at my farm that is capable of this.....now I need to get back into serious riding lessons. Trail riding is ok but not my favorite. Art.....wow, I surprised myself when talent showed up in my late 50's. Ok, I don't have the time I really would like to spend on it but I do love the things I have painted for others. Self taught along with watching YouTube has its challenges. Knitting.....again I wish I had more time for this because it is so relaxing. Another thing I had no idea I was good at is rehabing wild animals especially ones I come across on my farm (rescued a bat that was almost frozen this winter). So many things I have no idea if I can even do them until I actually do them. __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck. We went everywhere together like this.

I have been toying with learning the piano for years but still stuck on starter mood.

I am great at writing software. I've been doing it for 30 years. I made a career out of application development for web sites.
Now I paint. I am still in the learning mode. I make digital paintings/illustrations. I have over 100 images on Shutter Stock. I have sold a few. One day I hope to sell lots and lots. __________________ ‘Live for now,’ ‘This too shall pass,’ ‘Everything is happening for my good.’ |

I’m good at exercising daily with walking my dog, once per week do yard work, occasionally do small hand weight work out 10 to 20 minutes a few times per week. Enjoy swimming and hiking for exercise when get the chance. Used to jog 5-7 years ago. Enjoy aerobics classes such as step class, boxing aerobics, Zumba. Occasionally do yoga and like Pilates also.
Also good at and enjoy doing crosswords, writing creative stories, and even try writing poems occasionally. Like singing in my car to the radio and I’m ok at it, but not a super star or anything. Last edited by zapatoes; Apr 22, 2020 at 01:24 AM.. |

I like to attend the local community centre for stained glass painting classes. You get to make really unique pieces. Looking forward to going back once lockdown is finished.

I am an excellent pilot, marksman and martial artist. I fly for a living, shoot once or twice a week and am on the verge of getting my 5th degree black belt in kendo. I am a good runner and love to workout. I was a good rider - English saddle, but it's been a while.
I was a good pianist, but I'm out of practice. I still love breaking out the sheet music when I can. I am ok in speaking French and Japanese, but love to engage in conversation when I can even though I'm embarrassed by my lack of skill. I have a good singing voice, but I'm often off key, but I still love to sing. I'm a very mediocre gardener, but I do try. Maybe half of what I plant survives. |

I am good at public speaking and love doing it. I used to do readings from the Bible at church (back when we could go to church). I also did speech team in high school.
I also love dancing, but am quite bad at it. I prefer not to look at myself in the mirror when I do it. |

I'm great at bread making. I've done it off and on for years. I love it.
I love lap swimming. I'm a strong swimmer but tend to throw my arms out too much. Even though I'm fast my stroke looks loose. So I guess I'm not great at it but still love it. |

I love producing music. I've produced 3 albums in my career. It's a lot of fun.
I also love coloring in books. I'm not that great at picking out the colors but I try my best. I really enjoy it. __________________ ‘Live for now,’ ‘This too shall pass,’ ‘Everything is happening for my good.’ |

I love to sing, and I'm good at it (which is a little difficult for me to admit). I've been told that I'm great at it. I was a vocal music major. I've had some starts and stops with a career in music, and if people ever actually hear me sing they compliment me and wonder why I don't pursue music. Sadly, I'm at another stop point. I guess I need a bit more healing before I feel comfortable enough to share my voice like I want too in whatever capacity feels like success to me.
I love to dance. It's not that I can't dance or don't have rhythm, but I feel like I've gotten way less coordinated over the years lol. Maybe I'm just out of practice because I get nervous to dance in front of people so I stick to my two step haha. I used to learn Britney Spears, Madonna, and Janet Jackson choreography with ease from just studying their videos/live performances. I tried dancing the other day...yeah...I'm out of practice lol. __________________ Blerd Girl |

How cool! I'm learning the ukulele. Or at least I was. I've put it down while I work through some things, but I hope to pick it back up eventually. It's such a fun instrument. __________________ Blerd Girl |

Haha, oddly enough I love to sing and I'm good at it. I'm terrible at learning lyrics. I could pick up harmonies easily, but it's like studying for a Ph D for me to learn the lyrics lol (and I'm not the best at studying lol I'm a soul singer man, it comes from the heart!). I tend to think in the overall picture so I find it easier to get the overall sound of a song than to pay attention to the detail of lyrics.
I can't tell you how many songs I've just made up the lyrics too for fun or because I've literally just heard it wrong for fifteen years so I still sing the lyrics that way. I've mastered my surprised face when it occurs to me to use this lovely little thing called the internet to look up actual lyrics and I finally learn what they actually say. __________________ Blerd Girl |

I used to love to dance. I was actually pretty good at it. I would watch how other people danced in clubs and on music videos. Then I was able to do the same. I miss dancing. Now I just chair dance. I'm unable to actually stand and dance. __________________ ‘Live for now,’ ‘This too shall pass,’ ‘Everything is happening for my good.’ |

Thank you. I know that I would love to pursue it again, even if it's just singing at the local state fair or posting to Youtube (which would be a huge step for me). I hope I can find my voice again one of these days. Thank you again. Exactly! I would do the same. I was much better at choreography than street dancing, but I could keep up. Now I just feel awkward all around. I wonder when I acquired two left feet. I'm sorry that you can't stand to dance anymore, but I admire how you still chair dance. That's beautiful. For some reason that makes me think of that Justin Timberlake song "Can't Stop the Feeling." Gives me a hopeful feeling to just keep dancing whether from a chair or with two left feet __________________ Blerd Girl |
