If it wasn’t for your post, I probably would have left it as posting a comment to Jayesel. <br /><br />Maybe Thing I’m Good At #8 should be “Gives credit where credit is due.”<br /><br />Jessica R(abbit)<br />Thank you! See that’s my new effort to just accept compliments without trying to diffuse them.<br /><br />That picture is one of my all-time favorites. I was out for a morning walk around a friend’s place out in the country and came across a very still, glassy pond. The reflections were dazzling. This was one of the few times I did something other than “just snap the picture.” The other shots I took were more traditional, that included both the trees and the pond reflection. On this one, I decided to cut out the actual trees and just get the reflection, with those lone flowers in the foreground. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out until I got it home and downloaded onto the PC. Then it was like, “Wow!”<br /><br />Bagger,<br />That makes perfect sense to me. Always “consider the source.”bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-61169346624674531322010-08-19T14:45:32.711-04:002010-08-19T14:45:32.711-04:00I agree with all the above comments, first of all....I agree with all the above comments, first of all.

It's not because you are better then other people who actually have the same skill. That inflates our ego until we get out into the world and find out the truth: that Aunt Betty might not have know what the hell she was talking about when she said I was so good at something.<br /><br />Thus, the imposter syndrome.
