Skills I Would Love To Have
30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT January 7th
What skill (craft, instrument, sport, art, etc) do you wish you could do but can’t? What’s stopping you from learning?


I would love to play the piano. I took lessons as a child, but we did not have a piano to practice on. I had to practice on the piano at my babysitter's place. That was fine, but I found the instructor, an old, German man to be quite intimidating. At one point he insisted he had taught me something and was angry that I had not practiced it, but I remember not having learned the piece. When I told him so, he only got more insistent. My lessons ended after that.

I also wish I were more artistically inclined. I do try. In fact I am going to a watercolour painting class next week with my mother. Not sure how good I will be at it. My mother is talented in a more artistic way, whereas I tend to play with words more than paints.

I am just hoping I will be more awake for the session. I am only scheduled to work half a day, but if I work a full day, I find my eyes start getting heavy and my concentration levels lag... particularly between 4:30 and 6:30 pm when the class is happening.

If I like the instructor I think I will do fine.
