I've found my true talent.

Over the years I've had plenty of time to inventory my talents and figure out what I'm best at.  I have talents. I can cook, but not amazingly.  I probably could improve my piano playing, but never to concert quality.  I can paint a little, draw a little, weave a little, write a little, act a little, but I haven't created anything outstanding. After careful analysis, I've decided that what I really excel at is being an audience.  I am enthralled by great performances, or even good ones, be it music, theater, a good book, or a gallery show, and I show my appreciation.  I cry, I laugh, I respond appropriately. Performers need an audience. It's good to be needed and, as an added bonus, I'm not creating stuff that no one needs.
