Good evening everyone-There are so many things to be thankful. Whether big or small they are all blessings. One thing that I am thankful for happened over the course of time of just doing. I took typing in school, again in college and then even got a typing tape at some point to learn to type without looking at the keys. All that never did the trick. What finally did. DOING IT and DOING it and DOING IT some more. One day I just noticed. Hey I am typing and not looking at the keyboard. WONDERFUL. A small but wonderful blessing.

Sharon, a valuable skill, learning how to type! I learned it in high school, from one of the ancient teachers. My poor hubby is a one-fingered hunt-and-peck kinda guy, but I guess that works now for his iphone!

The only time I have to look at the keyboard is with numbers, never seemed to get that one down.

Gayle-I should have learned it in school or college but didn't and not even with one of those tapes but by doing it daily for several years I finally do pretty well. Not fast but fast enough plus it isn't good for the neck to be looking down so much. Many fellows do the hen and peck. Mine isn't the standard but a step or so above hen and peck.

Toni-It would take a lot longer for sure and it takes me long enough as it is. LOL

Sharon, I took shorthand and typing in school. My teacher couldn't understand why my typing was bad and all my other grades were excellent. It wasn't until the last day of school when I was helping her grade papers and she noticed I had a half finder (my ring finger, left hand). She said why didn't you tell me I could have helped you with your typing. Well, really no one knew. But I worked for a newspaper and did teletyping...my speed got to over 125 words a minute....a handicap I overcame!!

Rebecca-Good for you. We can overcome things like that if we have the will and determination and obviously you did. Did something happen to it or were you born with it like that?

Being able to type IS a wonderful blessing! I had a fantastic typing teacher in high school. He often had us listen to Zig Zigler instead of typing. So he taught us to type AND to have the right heart attitude. How cool is that?!

Sharon, I love reading this. My mother always used to say "practice make perfect." Thankfully, once we get it right our muscles have memory ... and we just get better and faster at the skill.

Sharon, wow. I love how you can see thankfulness in the little things - that is a great quality to have!

I, too, am thankful for that gift. I have to glance at the keyboard every few seconds, however for the most part, I can kind of touch type. I can't imagine how slow it would be not being able to do that. I never thought of that as something to be thankful for, but now I do!
