So I've had several guy friends tell me that the "problem" with lds girls is that they often lack passion about something, instead just being moderately good at a few things and biding their time . . . Well I don't know much about biding my time, and though I am passionate I think these boys were hoping for a super star of something. :)
Now I'm no super star, but a simple pleasure today made me think about talents and passion. I've decided I'm passionate about being happy. That means when my roommate gives me her old pair of cowboy boots I put them on and dance . . . and when my friend comes over you know I have to show them off again. And let me tell you I can pack a lot of passion into enjoying those boots.
Sometimes I think its easy to overlook the small gifts in comparison to "major" talent. I know people with major talents - fast runners, great piano players, incredible teachers, nuclear physicists, life changers etc. etc. You name it - they have it. And say - have at 'em boys. I like a talented woman who's passionate about what she does.
At the same time though, despite all of this major talent I can't help but feel quietly satisfied with an ability to get so much joy out of a pair of hand-be-down cowboy boots. Its gets me through at times when major talents don't apply.
