During my lifetime I have done a wide variety of things. There have been so many things that interested me, I sometimes feel like I have lived several lives in this one. Many things I was able to do was because I would have more than one thing going at one given time. For instance, when I had a flower shop, I would make jewelry in the evenings or have a counseling session with someone. Secondly, I have lived a long time.
On the other hand, there are things I’m just not wired to do, specifically anything mechanical or electrical. I have trouble operating a can opener and never could learn to type by the touch system. To this day, I type with two fingers. I’m a voracious reader. However, there is much I don’t know.
Growing up, my mother taught me that everyone should have a list of things they won’t do. For me, a philosophy is that I have never been hungry enough to steal, and no one is important enough to me to lie to. Conversely, I can be sincerely wrong about a particular thing, and have made a lot of mistakes.
