Own Your Inner Artist

I have to say my inner judge came out big time on I Love How Talented You Are...first off I thought it's not like although I'm a pretty enthusiatic spinner I'm far from an olympian or I may be playfully creative but an artist or actress...they were really trying hard on this one.  Then well, maybe I do have some ceremonial talents.  It was hard to own talented because who is setting the bar.  I of course defaulted to ye old dictionary.

No surprise, Webster went to town,

1  a:  any of several ancient units of weight
    b:  a unit of value equal to the value of a talent of gold or silver
2  archaic : a characteristic feature, aptitude, or disposition of a person or animal
3  : the natural endowments of a person
3  a:  a special often athletic, creative or artistic aptitude
    b:  general intelligence or mental power:  ability
5  : a person of talent of a group of persons in a field or activity


Who knew about measurement of weight, but even they get into the athlete, artistic...who does the white turn to gray which turns to black..right????

And since I like simple, in it's simplest form it's a natural aptitude so I'm a natural at finding humor and laughing at life.  I also would go out and say I do have a talent on the generous and loving too but that's a work in progress and life devotion.  Ahhh, the beauty of semantics... I guess my attachment to talent was to the fact that there should be financial return for my talent or some sort of gold star or blue ribbon but I get blue ribbons in feedback all the time.  And actually the platinum stars are the friends and family I have in my life.

I also remembered reading once that there was a man who asked a group of kindergarden children to raise their hand if they were an artist.  Everyone raised their hand.  When he asked a room of adults he was lucky if 5% raised their hands.  What happened?  That made me said.  And the place that we are most artistic is our lives...we are creating our realities every day...so yes I'm an artist with many talents.
