That really isn't true either about him. He was a master mechanic and a master carpenter.<br />I grew up cooking and help in the kitchen, my father showed me how to sew, he also taught be not to judge a book by its cover. I have been known to cut hair and haven't paid for a hair cut sense the first Bush was in office. <br />My point is I have had days when I have has to clean grease off my hands from working on the car to make dinner and then make quilts from Christmas. <br />Characters are like real life people. Sometimes there are not enough words on the page to explain that my solder in my story sews in real life back home.Notjustjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453673089998349788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250530615581285439.post-13842350855351356852010-12-10T19:56:50.435-08:002010-12-10T19:56:50.435-08:00@teri Anne I do not mean to imply that all people ...@teri Anne I do not mean to imply that all people can do all things. I mean that we should not limit ourselves b/c of gender. If we are good at something, we are good at something. If we want to try something, we should be able to try it, regardless. <br /><br />We may find we a) don't like it, or b) are no good at it, or c) we are good at it but REALLY don't like it :)<br /><br />Accepting your limitations is a good way to think of it. No need to feel like a failure. Those who don't try are the ones who truly miss out. Try your best, be your best, enjoy life. :)<br /><br />Keep up the writing. Whether you ever become published or not, it is good for you. I can see it in your blog.Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786326364037397675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250530615581285439.post-60299481893408396642010-12-10T08:42:24.047-08:002010-12-10T08:42:24.047-08:00This is good stuff to think about. I don't kn...This is good stuff to think about. I don't know what my answer is, but I'll sure be thinking about it as I work.<br /><br />One thing that has been a catch-22 for me is that I was told I could do anything if I just tried hard enough. That let me to try alot of things I might not have otherwise done, but it also left me with a feeling of "Well, I'm just not trying hard enough" when I failed at something. <br />So learning about accepting limitations (and being grateful) is a big theme for me.Teri Anne Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500524348027951939noreply@blogger.com
