I am adding on to your response to the following question: What is something you can teach someone to do?

1. Believe that they are worthy of having friends
2. Accept their limitations with grace and humor
3. Encourage people to write
4. Develop an interest in cooking or travel
5. Run their finances and determine that they can indeed retire

You are more than your lack of physical strength or dexterity.
You are very important.

Thank you, Woobie. You are very kind and supportive. could you tell I was having one of 'those' days?

Anything my dad taught me- working on the car, using power tools, fixing the roof.

I'm going to assume I wouldn't be able to play racketball anymore, because of my shoulder. Not that I've had a chance to play it in forty some years.

Drawing- I hope. As a teen I got paid for a few things, and drew my own comic books (along with a friend; we'd sit together and work on our own little worlds)

Gardening. I used to teach various gardening subjects, but I haven't been asked to for several years now. But if anyone asks me a question, I'll rattle on about it, probably way more than the person wanted to know. And I'm good at translating medical speak down to something anyone can understand.

I'd like to get back to learning to dance, although I'd probably have to go back to square one.

Ooo, what sort of drawing? I used to do a lot of it, but my fingers for the better of me.

I wish I had learned more of those skills as a kid.

[spikesgirl58]

They were good skills to have and they served me well in the Scene Shop.
