Default I am good at ... [complete this sentence]

Sounds like a simple question. But we are usually so focused on what we're doing wrong that we forget we have a lot of good traits.

Proclaim your awesomeness to the world. Tell us what you're good at. No trait too insignificant!

I am good at public speaking.

I am good at making great PB&J and BLT sandwiches.

I am good at mediating disputes.

I am good at discovering and recommending good movies and tv shows to my friends.
