One Greatness

I have been pondering the past few weeks what it would be like to be really great at one thing. It is kind of funny that this has stuck in my head. I would genuinely say that I can do many things well, but I often wonder what it would be like to be known for one great talent?

Even now as I sit here thinking about it more my mind is blank.

Things I do well:
Cooking and Baking
General Craftiness
Good Housekeeper/Cleaner
Being a decent mom
Driving a car (never any tickets, only pulled over once in HS)
Pulling Weeds
General Creativeness
Sudoku

Things I used to do well but not anymore:
Sleep
Ride dirt bikes
Ride a unicycle
Drink Beer or Alcohol (this is apparent after 2 large Margaritas on New Year's Eve)
Having good balance

What would it be like to be the best weed puller around? Not that glorious. I guess its not bad to be considered a person who is more a "Jack of all trades" the a master of one thing. Perhaps if you were good at one thing you might really suck at everything else.

I guess I am resolved to be somewhat good at lots of little things then to have one great talent.

But wouldn't it be cool for just a little while to be able to say "I rock at ______."

I guess my line is "I got lots of pebbles in many pots."

You totally ROCK at having lots of pebbles!

Besides, you're probably great at many of the things on your lists. :)
