From time to time I have published lists of things I will never ever do like bungie jumping and sky diving, but after watching America's Got Talent this evening I am faced with a totally different list of things I can't do vs things I don't want to do. All my life I've been told to think positively and I can accomplish great things but the performers on AGT reinforce my positive assurance that there are some things I can not and was never meant to be able to do. I mean I have always known that I can't sing or play a musical instrument. If I wake up one day and can carry a tune I'll know I've died and gone to heaven. But here are some new things to add to my 'can't do' list. I cannot contort my body into pretzel shapes while swinging from a ring suspended high above the stage. I cannot do amazing gymnastic flips while wearing five inch heels. Truthfully, I can't even walk wearing five inch heels. I cannot create the illusion of reading someone's mind or really read someone's mind. I cannot play the drums while dressed like a chicken (but I really don't care about that one). Actually I probably could do that act as well as the chicken man did. How's that for thinking positively?
