Juggling

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m now juggling! As an anniversary present Kelly bought me my own set of juggling balls, having seen how much I liked it last month. I’ve been practicing with them whenever I get a few minutes. I’ve found it’s easiest to park myself in front of our bed when I practice: I don’t have to stoop to pick up the dropped balls that way.

Another thing I’m finding about juggling is the meditative aspect of it. It requires a focus that is far more intense than I anticipated. If I let my mind wander – boom! – I lose the rhythm and balls go flying everywhere. I can see the very nature of juggling will help my concentration skills. Pretty cool.
