FIVE Things

FIVE THINGS 

Five things I am good at:

1. Sharing Music with others- singing, dancing, playing, listening

2. Decorating- I love using unusual pieces, usually vintage, which help make a space unique. 

3. Organization - schedules, kids, props, programs, dishes... Probably because I'm also good at....

4. Playing Tetris - I can stack those boxes for hours 

5. Public speaking - It surprises me that this doesn't bother me anymore (I used to be shy, seriously)

Five things I am bad at:

1. Waiting - I'm not patient, I get too excited and antsy

2. Running - I'm working on this one, but figuring out how to breath correctly is a challenge
3. Swimming - I can't swim well. I could probably save myself but you may be on your own.
4. Dog training- As indicitative of my insane giant puppy
5. Keeping my car clean - It is a Sport Utility Vehicle, it's not supposed to be spotless, right?!

Five things that scare me:

1. Roller coasters- Nope. Not gonna happen. Nope.
2. Talking to strangers on the phone - I sound like I'm 12 on the phone. 'Nuff said.
3. Anything involving jumping from heights - Seriously, life is scary enough.
4. Snakes - If they show up in my garden, they get murdered. There is no such thing as a good snake.
5. Tornados - Fetal position in the tub when the sirens blare.

Five things (other than family & friends) that bring me joy:

1. The creativity of my job - there's always a project!
2. Songbirds - I love that God made musical animals
3. Unanticipated blessings- Those that catch me off guard, make my jaw drop and my eyes well up.
4. A chance to genuinely help others - It's especially fun when it is an unanticipated blessing for them
5. Bargain hunting

Five women that I've never met who have positively influenced my life:

1. Corrie Ten Boom - I was a different person after reading "The Hiding Place"
2. Julie Andrews - I think she's part of the reason I'm a music teacher
3. Audrey Hepburn - Such a classy lady with a caring heart
4. L.M. Montgomery - She taught me how to love to read by giving me Anne Of Green Gables
5. Martha Stewart- Stay with me people...she taught me that there is beauty and art in making a home
