Melts and flows.

Day 8: In your own space, talk about a talent (or talents) you have. Everyone's got something they're good at. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Yoga. I'm pretty flexible naturally, so it comes easily enough.

Dreaming. I've been recording my dreams daily for over seven years without missing a single night, and while not every night is a vivid narrative, I find it strange that there are some people who don't remember their dreams at all.

Cooking and baking. I hold it as a point of pride that I feed myself well, how I start from scratch as often as I can, and that what I make turns out to be something good and tasty to eat. I'm still proud I got someone in college to try parsnips when she'd never had them before, and one of the highest compliments I've ever gotten was after I'd baked six small loaves of bread to share at work, the next morning a co-worker told me he'd taken a loaf home and eaten it for dinner along with some jam. Just the loaf. I basically floated on that through the rest of the week.

Writing. It's my chosen medium of self-expression, I'd better be talented in it. I'm good at characterization - it's a skill I've honed over the years, and my thoughts on it are something that I could give their own post if anyone's interested. I can pull off crazy ideas and make them work, I do worldbuilding better than a number of other people out there, and I know how to use words to share what goes on in my head and what I encounter in my life. It's extremely gratifying when I manage to succeed, and to recognize I'm getting better at it.
