Do I have anything to blog about?

Well, I suppose I could start off with a little something about me...

I'm female, middle-aged (cough), a wife and mother, a grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend. Oh, I'm also a nurse. Until recently, I lived to work, which means I've never really had time to cultivate any major talent(s). Of course, I suppose I would have to have a talent to cultivate in the first place, which I don't - at least none that have been discovered yet.

I'm talking about "major" talents. Those you can see or hear, like singing, or playing a musical instrument, dancing, or being a great gardener or cook. Don't get me wrong. I firmly believe in an all-powerful God who created each of us uniquely. So I know I'm special in many ways and feel extremely blessed. But a major talent? I don't think so. That's one of the reasons I put off starting this blog for so long. What would I blog about?

I have at least two friends, that I know of, who blog ~ James and Karen. They are married to each other. They not only live an enviable lifestyle, but are also both multi-talented. The enviable lifestyle alone is probably enough, but when you have multiple talents, you have a ton to blog about...and people want to read it, too! It's an adventure!

So theirs were the blogs I was using as examples. Not easy. There is so much going on in their lives everyday, they sometimes have to blog more than once a day just to get it said! And they have videos of singing and playing music, of milking and collecting eggs, of grinding their own wheat and baking bread, of making their own cheese and wine - and did I say soap? Yes, they can make their own soap; and James is writing his second novel. I could go on and on and on, but hey, they've got their own blogs, and you can read them too. They're listed under "My Blog List." But hey, finish mine first, please, if you don't mind.

Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more I realized - what I lack in talent, I make up in having a boat-load of very special and talented people in my life. James and Karen are just examples. God's special gift to me. I guess you could say, I have a talent for attracting talented people. My life is filled with music and flowers and adventure because of the wonderful and talented family and friends that flavor my life. They will give me plenty to blog about! (Plus, it should also assure me at least a few followers since they'll have to keep an eye on me just to see what I'm saying about them.)

I didn't say I wasn't smart, just not talented!
