I also wish I had the home repair skill set, but most especially carpentry and I am learning, slowly but surely! I think I have the motivation to achieve some degree of competence, but I don't think I have a natural talent in that area.
My real area of innate talent is organization. I am good at putting systems in place to keep items from being lost and tasks or events from being forgotten. It is all very boring stuff, but it makes life flow more smoothly, and definitely comes in handy in the context of helping my mother manage life with early Alzheimer's, for one example.
I also sometimes wish I had a more creative and artistic skill set, but then who would help DH keep track of his wallet, keys and phone, and help Mom manage her meds and appointments?
I hated math when I was younger, and loved it in college. I really enjoyed my statistics class!
