On my walks with my dog Sydney, I frequently let my mind wander as we go up and down the greenway and throughout our neighborhood. The area I walk Sydney is so nice that I find our hour long walks go by in the blink of an eye.
As Sydney and I hit the trail the other day, I began to think about the things I wish I knew how to do. You know, the things that you wish you had learned growing up, or had time for as an adult, but somehow don't make it into your busy schedule. There are many things I can do, but here are some things I wish I knew how to do:
Play the guitar. That would be awesome! I have often thought how fun it would be to sit outside on my back deck and strum a guitar.
Play the piano. Again, that would be awesome. I've always thought that the piano creates some of the most beautiful music.
Speak another language. Not even something fancy like Russian or Japanese. Spanish would be find. I took French in high school and college, but I can't really speak it (I can read French better than I can speak it).
Do cartwheels. How cool would it be to just be going along your merry way and suddenly bust out a cartwheel? Don't you think that is cool? No? Just me? Ok.
Photographic memory. Now, I realize of all the things I wish I knew how to do, this one I probably cannot learn. It is probably a gift from birth. Oh well. I still wish I had it.
Create recipes. Sure, I can follow a recipe and make dinner, but I would love to have the knowledge to create a recipe or meal from scratch. I guess I need to watch more of The Food Network.
Those are some things that I think would be cool to learn or know how to do. I think there are some other things, but I can't remember them right now. There is one though...
I wish I knew how to get Sydney out of sleeping in my bed at night.

I definitely wish I could speak Spanish. I think in Texas (and probably just about anywhere now) knowing the language is an asset.
AND I wish I had the skills to play a good game of golf and the $$$ to play whenever I wanted.
My nieces love it when I do a cart wheel! I think it is more that they can't believe old Mimi can actually do it!
I wish I knew how to sew, groom dogs, knit, have the knowledge to create a wildlife refuge in my back yard and do the perfect jive (a dance)! Oh and knowing how to cook would be good too!
Hi Melanie,
I wish that I could speak Spanish -- at least on a conversational level, as well. I telephoned the parent of a client I have, only to find out that the gentleman did not speak English -- at least not well. Thankfully, there were several people in the restaurant where I was at the time who offered to interpret!
