What is your special natural gift(s) or talent(s)?

Do you take it for granted?

Revel it it?

Do others have a hard time accepting your gift?

Do you think that everyone is a natural at something?

I’ve never been told that I’m a natural at anything during my 64 years of life. I’ve always struggled and had to work and practice extra hard just to be adequate.

That changed two weeks ago when I started paddling with a Hawaiian outrigger canoe club. After the first practice the team coach told me that he likes my paddling form. The next practice I was put in the lead stroker position. But I can be put anywhere in the canoe where I quickly blend in with other’s well. Three other experts with about 60 years of experience keep giving me positive feedback. One kept saying that he likes my aggressive paddling style. Also I been told by very experienced paddlers on two different clubs that I’m “a natural”.

It’s cool be find something I’m exceptionally good at but too bad it took me so long to find it. HA!
