Juggling

I have a fantastic idea for what to get your young kid involved in when they look at you with know-it-all boredom.

Juggling.

As an adult, I can't help but notice all the god damned juggling I have to do on a regular basis. Don't forget to get the soap to spray on the aphids and check on friend's garden and unload the back seat of the car and use the avocados before they rot and add that new deadline to next week's calendar. But time moves in a line, and you can only get things done one at a time (multitasking is a myth, yo)... until eventually you stop, leaving things "till later"... always feeling like something is... forgotten.

Some balls don't get caught.

Wake up. Repeat.

Not all days are like this. Hopefully you can shut down your brain once or twice a week and on vacations and such. That's important. I hear meditation helps achieve full, restorative shut-down. That'd be nice.

But juggling. I have to think that somehow, probably pertaining to the circuitry of the brain, learning to juggle at a young age must be a good exercise for the games of adulthood. And chess of course.

Can anyone attest to this?
