Taking my own recommendation, I realized I have another book I haven’t used but once on here, Hey, Thanks: A Guided Gratitude Journal.
I found this page that you might reflect on and answer (in comments or only to yourself):
I thought it fit in with the mindful theme of “be who you are in this moment.” So I found a coloring page in this book:
And colored it for you.
The quote on the back of the page, from “Unknown,” says, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
Hmm. I don’t consider myself to have any natural talents or abilities – at least none that 99% of the rest of the population have too. I am grateful, however, that I have inherited pragmatism from my mother. I think we are products of the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ mentality. Whatever crap life throws at you, you simply have to get your head down and get through it. And maybe have a little cry later.
Oddly, I don’t want to stand out. I would much rather blend in to the crowd. As an aspiring writer, I would like to be successful, but not famous.
I, too, prefer to blend into the crowd. Especially these days, attention-seeking people are targets of backlash, insults, and criticism, and who needs that negativity.
I would count your ability to entertain through theatre and pantomime a talent. Likewise your ability to grow things. And your ability to show people like me a world I’ll probably never see thanks to your willingness to travel and sightsee with a camera.
