Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Something I Wish I Were Better At Doing

 


The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated.  

Happy Wednesday! I'm still catching up this week, but I will visit my blogging friends once I have time.

Today, we are talking about something we wish we were better at doing. Oh my, that is a very long list for me. I will stick with the top three:

  1. Drawing/painting/crafting in general
  2. Gardening
  3. Self-care
As a creative person, I wish I had more skills in the art department. Writing will have to be it for me. 

I love, love, love to garden. However, I am dismal at it. I can recreate a garden plan with instructions, but have no ability to know what goes well where otherwise, and struggle to keep some things alive.

Self-care is such a struggle for me. I need to be better at it for everyone's sake, but it's the thing that goes out the window first when I get busy.

How about you? What is something you wish you were better at?

    I've tried painting. I saw some watercolour tutorials and they looked super easy... it wasn't good 🤣

      LOL! You are so funny, George. I tried one of those sip and paint events. Let's just say that canvas is tucked in a drawer. Thanks for visiting.

    Gardening! It is the journey, it is the getting your hands in the dirt.
    But, I understand the wanting to be better: my garden produces miniature vegetables, like really tiny carrots and watermelon. 🙄

      I think I've given up on carrots. Our soil is so rocky, they never turn out right. It is still fun to work in the garden, though. Thanks for visiting, Rebecca.

    Ooh art is such a great way to unwind and can even be part of your self care. But everything that is any kind of skill sure does take time and effort to improve! Have a great day!

    A painter friend of mine said once that "if people learned to paint, they would be more patient, and peaceful". It always stuck with me...
