Perfect moment for some stream of consciousness writing.
Today our prompt is:
What new tricks would you like to learn or have you learned?
I would like to learn how to use a drill… well. I want to be able to hang curtain rods and new curtains. This doesn’t seem like it should be all that hard, but so far, I haven’t mastered it. It would help to own a drill or just borrow a friend’s drill for a weekend or so, I suppose.
I would like to learn how to Speak Italian. Seriously, I have wanted to go there so badly and I believe it honors the country to do as well with the language as I possibly can.
I would like to learn how to fly a kite. Can you believe I have never flown one?
I would like to learn how to use a really exceptional Digital SLR camera, you know the ones you can change lenses with and get crystal clear, amazing photos? I WANT THAT!
I would like to learn how to write grants so I could teach writing in prisons and halfway houses and anyplace where people need to learn how to communicate better (which is everywhere!)
I would like to learn how to play guitar… again. I was always a strummer and I would like to be a picker.
I would like to learn how to make my hair look prettier.
I would like to learn how to…. Grow things better. Or maybe have the patience to grow things better. I’ve been doing well with my houseplants but how I would love to have a beautifully smelling garden.
I would like to learn how to help my love feel better. He is going through a feeling bad spell and I don’t know how to feel better and keep moving even when moving feels oh so impossible.
I would like to learn how to make bookshelves and a window seat and cabinets,
Wow, I have a lot of new tricks I would like to learn!
