you are good at things.

When perusing my blog list via bloglovin, (if you haven't signed up you need to!) I became inspired to write this post due to one of the countless bloggers I admire (check her out here). Her post was about a new book coming out entitled "you are good at things: a checklist" by Andy Selsberg. This book forces you to think about the everyday simple things that you are truly good at. And this can mean absolutely anything! For example, maybe you're really good at predicting the weather, or what time it is without looking at some sort of clock. I have the uncanny ability to remember numbers, I am awful at math, but memorizing numbers? No problem. Birthdays (my friend Lisa and I share this ability), phone numbers, anything you can think of, I'll remember it. It may take me a few tries to remember, but I will get there.

The reason I was inspired by this so much is because I think it is very, very easy to get bogged down with day-to-day things. Maybe you've felt stressed at work or school and you get down on yourself (at least I do); I think this is a nice reminder of the many things you are awesome at and what make you, you. And come on, we all like to have the re-assurance that we're good at things. :)
