Juggling Some More

All dressed up and in full flight with balls in all directions! I love having to do these drawings - today it is an unmitigated pleasure. I can't really juggle, but everything is possible in your mind's eye. I read somewhere that when a gymnast has a tricky new move to learn, they spend a lot of time imagining the entire event before they attempt it. Somehow this teaches their body what is expected of it, and maybe the body thinks the imagined event was a real happening and it can perform the movement because, after all, it has done it before successfully. It is a wonderful idea that probably is worth testing in other circumstances instead of going over the worse case scenarios I often review before some dreaded event!

Keeping All Your Balls in the Air


The beginning of the academic year is about to begin for me - if you can call the jewellery course I attend academic - and suddenly there are all sorts of things to be thinking about. There is a large area of mundane things that need attention as well, there are so many things I prefer to spend time on, and several areas creatively, as well as planning to make a little more income from my sales of glass and jewellery. So many things ticking away in my brain. This is the way I like to function, plenty to keep the little grey cells busy, and the playful creative part of me getting lots of opportunity to play too.
