And also, in enjoying those things enough to _want_ to do them.
I grew up on a small ranch, and have done a bit of a lot of things.
Some of them I never was very good at, some I was ok at, but it's been 
-uh- a while . . .
And other stuff I've done occasionally and now I'm pretty decent at.

I'm willing to try most anything, if needed. But there are lots of 
things that others will always be better at.
And, I should relax and be glad they are!

Cheers
Jay
