Special Talents

Kya was helping my mom in the garden yesterday and mentioned that I wasn't as good at this particular skill as Grandma. My mother is well aware of my black thumb so she had to chuckle. She told Kya that it isn't really all that unusual for daughters and moms to be good at different things; her own mom was a talented seamstress and she can't sew at all. Kya was thoughtful for a few moments and then said she knew what my special talent was, "Being a good mom." Well, of course I melted at this story. But even better was what she declared her own special talent to be- being herself. :)
