Do Something You Aren't Good At

I have heard it said that in our culture where we are told we must be the very best at our endeavors, it is actually a good idea to participate in activities in which we aren't very good.  Just for the enjoyment of it.  If that is so, then I should play tennis more often.  Yesterday morning we decided that we hadn't hit the courts in awhile (over a year, perhaps?) so we headed to that little hidden gem in Mallows Park at the corner of Harrison and Indian Hill.  Neither of us is particularly good, and I am worse than H, but, we joke, we get some exercise, and when it is over, we get coffee.

I'm not that good at yoga yet, but I am getting better....

As a writing instructor, I feel that your title should be more like: "Do something at which you aren't good." :) Just kidding.

You ARE right, Adam, but sometimes the correct way sounds clumsy, and I thought this less-than-stellar title was more apt for the content of the post. ; )
