Looking Forward

Here is a handfull of things to be thinking about as I think about the future. Letting my mind have free reign and ignoring my inner voice of reason, caution, and general lack of conviction at my abilities, takes a certain amount of bloodymindedness on my part! To become mentally cavalier, throw caution to the winds, and let some wild imaginings happen is an exhilarating experience. Then the voice of reason can step in and go about making some plans, and follow them through!

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!
