YES, YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO FIND YOUR SUCCESS!
THINK  —  AND THEN THINK AGAIN.
WHAT NEW STORIES ARE YOU READY TO WRITE? 

============================
OPENING WORDS
I just read an article about the “elderly.”
woman (the paper wrote) who had her Tesla attacked.
Later, the article said she was “61 years old.
Me–being 66–am I elderly?
I never thought of myself as “elderly.”
That’s scary.
     
A lady who looks old is living in the room next to me.
I discovered that Cindy is 62 years old.
I’m 66; do I look the part?
   
I’m even all right about my limited sleep. I still function fine, even with just a few hours of sleep at night. I find that I am going through an odd time. I’m here about affecting change.
   
In my last blog, I wrote about how I did not like life, ready for death I was.
But, recently, I wrote that I wanted to surpass the age of 100.
I am unsure; I think I’ll stay around for a while.
     
I did hear from people.
It made me change my thinking.
You will see a different blog.
   
“I read your blog every week !!
I hope life gets easier for you soon …
Don’t stop writing…”
Sharon Fodrovics
                 
“Kit – I read all your blogs!
You are one of the most
inspirational people on the planet!
Please keep them coming!!!”
Your friend, Larry Zeiger
     
“I read your blog every week, too, BUT…
…if constructing a themed blog each week
is too stressful, as it seems to be; just post
when something significant changes in your life.”
Ray Stern
     
“I like to read different sections of the blog. I echo
Ray. Post when you feel inspired to write some or
something significant happens.”
Kim Ranson
     
“Why did Beth ask you to leave?
Please ask her why she did this and let me know.
What on earth was her reasoning?
You seemed so happy together, but it’s really sad.”
Love and Light–Jessica Taylor
     
I hoped to hear from more people,
but that was enough for me to continue
publishing my blog posts.
   
Even with the troubles I’ve been experiencing, I can still live the life that I want. I have no regrets about anything that has occurred in my life. Overall, I have had an excellent life and am quite pleased with it.
   
BUT>>
I’ve been reduced to eight boxes holding what I have left.
I lived in a three-story house, got rid of stuff and moved into my van.
Then, after I crashed my van, I left a lot.
         
Often, I have much sadness and anger, and I am not sure what to do.
At this point, I don’t even care if I die.
In the past, I’ve had great times in my life.
That was long ago and far away.
Should I even post when I feel this miserable?
     
I’ve figured out why I have been so sad and damaged currently.
All my life, I have had goals for the future—projects to look forward to.
Right now, I have nothing.
       
For each of the following, I went for excellence.
This is something that many do not aim for; what a loss.
Aim toward excellence, and you’ll get that.
     
Here are some of my goals >>
1) Juggling has been a big part of my life since age 15. I aimed for excellence.
2) I juggled 7 clubs, a world record at the time. I got over fifty throws with the 7.
3)  I went through a 37-day coma and came through alright.
4) I married Mary Ellen, 23 years of marriage, and we raised our daughters, Jasmine and April.
5) Hundreds of schools across the US had me present my inspirational/entertaining program.
6) I developed my workshop to help jugglers improve.
    With the workshop, I went all over the US, to Europe three times,
    Japan three times, and Australia and New Zealand.
7) I have written 15 books to help people advance over time.
    My book, Juggling with Finesse, sold over 25,000 copies worldwide.
8) I developed a fresh salsa that people love — I sold thousands!
    See https://sites.google.com/site/summerssalsa/
9) When traveling, I would go to libraries to get online and plugins.
    Beth worked at the McCormick, SC library, where we met.
    We fell in love, married, and had a good life together.
    One day, Beth said she wanted me gone, and sadly, I left.
    She does not communicate with me, and I don’t know why she changed.
    I’ve been alone and do not like life without Beth.
10) I lived in my van and traveled all over the US.
    Going to every state and every national park.
11) I have published my weekly blog for years to help people.
    ===================
BLOG 318–I have written about juggling and how to do it in the past. Since I have many new readers, I had to write about the subject again so new people can juggle. Learn the skill; there are many benefits.
     
Juggling offers many benefits for the mind and body, including improved hand-eye coordination, motor skills, concentration, focus, and brain development. It is also a fun and portable form of exercise.
   
Juggling is an excellent exercise for the mind and body. It is a total mind-body workout, and from my experience, you are working virtually every upper body muscle, from the reaching and throwing motion to bending down and picking up the props you drop (if you drop, that is.)
 
Do you juggle? There’s a nice uniformity to the idea that about 70% of people are surprised that only about 30% of people can juggle! Juggling is as good an exercise as running or lifting weights. While there’s no definitive data on the exact percentage of people who can juggle, estimates suggest that only around 21% can. And this exercise is great fun!
     
Jugglers tend to be predominantly investigative, which means they are pretty inquisitive and often like to spend time alone with their thoughts, as I have. Jugglers also tend to be social, meaning we thrive in situations where we can interact, persuade, or help people.
     
Juggling works wonders for our critical thinking skills. Juggling is a soothing, methodical, organized activity for the brain. “This soothes, focuses, and slows the brain down to look at and focus on small details and movements.
     
I loved the skill of juggling and its daily improvement. Some days, I would be in the gym for 12 hours, then be impatient for the next day when I could do it again. Juggling is a physical skill involving manipulating objects for recreation, entertainment, or sport.
     
Based on this evidence, as a dual-task activity, bimanual juggling may effectively integrate brain areas to improve neuroplasticity.  Consistent practice is key. To get your first 10 throws while juggling, you should expect to practice about 30-60 minutes daily for about a week. Some people may progress more quickly. Others may take several months to achieve their first 10 juggles.
   
In the accident and 37-day coma I went through, I believe my ability to juggle helped me come back fully.
 
You can apply the same principles to learning juggling to motivate yourself to succeed. With juggling, you will exercise and improve your mental and physical alertness, coordination, reflexes, and self-confidence. Juggling is good for working out and relaxing. You get good exercise by bending down to pick up a dropped prop.
       
A half-hour of juggling versus a half-hour of exercising-–the results are the same; the difference is that juggling will also exercise your mind.  It will give you an alert body and a calm mind. Also, juggling is good eye-hand coordination training for every sport. Most of all–Juggling is great fun !!  Young people (as well as older folks) love learning to juggle (yes, YOU!)
   
Juggling offers numerous benefits for the mind and body, including improved hand-eye coordination, motor skills, focus, concentration, and brain development. It is also a fun and portable form of exercise. Juggling has been shown to help fight depression, PTSD, and other serious problems.
========================
Basic Juggling Skills: The Cascade with 3 balls is often the most common pattern people use when juggling. Ensure you can maintain this pattern for much longer than it would take to run/jog the distance you want to cover.
     
Jugglers have told me that juggling with scarves is not juggling; it is more of a manipulation of the scarves. So, I see their point. Although it will teach someone the basic cascade, later can be done with other objects like balls, clubs (and machetes.)
     
Don’t just think about juggling — do it!
You can learn this skill — no matter how old you are!
Or even if you have gone through a brain injury!

It is the cheapest and easiest to make your own scarves.
Buy Toole material and cut 18-inch squares to juggle with, these are easy to juggle >>
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=toole&crid=2NT54N0OW6HRB&sprefix=%2Caps%2C177&ref=nb_sb_ss_recent_2_0_recent
Walmart also sells this material.
     
I’ve taught thousands to juggle with scarves. Because they are lightweight, they float in the air and are easier to manipulate. Watch this video to see someone juggling scarves >>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtYA220zcfc&t=64s
       
One Scarf
To get the feel of the scarf, throw it up and catch it. Play with it to get used to it. Now throw the scarf under the leg, behind the back. Next, keep it in the air by blowing it up with your mouth.
   
Hold one scarf by the center, not by a corner, with your palm down (for scarf juggling, you always keep your palm down.) Lift your arm as high as you can toward the opposite shoulder. When the hand reaches the peak, release the scarf, palm out, like you are waving goodbye. Reach high with the other hand and grab down on the scarf as it reaches chest high.
   
Do the same thing in the other direction.
Now repeat this pattern, right-left-right-left, slowly. Relax, and don’t go too fast.
The pattern is like a sideways figure 8.
     
Two Scarves
Once again, play with the scarves to get the feel for the 2.  Now throw the scarves up, side by side at the same time, and clap, then up and clap twice, up and clap under the leg, up and behind the back.  The next step is to throw them up and clap four times–in front, under the leg, behind the back, then in front again.  This can be very fun for the kids.
   
Now for two-scarf juggling. As we just worked on with one scarf, bring one scarf high above the opposite shoulder and release it. When the first scarf is at its highest point and starts to fall, lift it in the other hand in the same manner and at the same height toward the opposite shoulder. The second scarf will pass underneath the first throw.
 
Change the starting hand each time.  First, throw right-left and stop, then left-right and stop, then right-left and stop, and so on.  What you do is throw, throw, catch, catch, then do the other side.
     
Next, hold one scarf with the little finger and, in the same hand, hold one scarf with the thumb and index finger. This will give you two scarves in one hand, the starting position for juggling. This is the starting position for your juggling pattern. Always start with the hand that has two. 
     
Lift the hand holding two scarves up to let go of one scarf toward the opposite shoulder.  Release the scarf held with the fingertips and grab down on it with the other hand to catch it. 
   
3 Scarf Juggling!
Hold two scarves in one hand like we just worked on; have one in your other hand.  For juggling, always start with the hand holding two and just release one.  When the first scarf gets to the top, lift the second scarf, which is the same height, with the other hand. As your hand comes down from releasing the second scarf, it will catch the first.
   
The pattern goes: THROW (with the first hand), then THROW, CATCH (with the second hand), and then THROW, CATCH with the other hand, back and forth. Remember, the hand that the scarf is coming to you will throw with next.

NOW YOU ARE JUGGLING!!

 3 Scarf Tricks
First, make sure you can juggle 3 scarves. Juggle 2 scarves in one hand.  The pattern should have the scarves going straight up and down beside each other. Count the throws to judge progress. Now, with the hand that wasn’t throwing the 2, throw a scarf in so it goes straight up and down along with the 2 in the first hand. So, you are throwing 1 up, then 2 up, then 1 up, then 2 up. The scarves will go up and down in columns. Search YouTube for other scarf tricks you can learn.
      

Ball juggling
   
1 ball
It is best to be standing so you can maneuver well to catch the ball.  Have one ball to begin with.  For example, like with scarves, have them do various tricks to get used to the balls, such as throwing under the leg, behind the back, over the head, etc.
     
Work on throwing the ball from hand to hand, about 3 inches above the head.  Your vision should be kept high, and you should look at the peak points of the throws.  As you throw the ball from hand to hand, throw from the inside and catch on the outside.
     
2 balls
Start with one ball in each hand. Throw the left-hand ball up to head height towards the right-hand side. As the ball reaches its apex and comes down towards your right hand, throw the ball you are still holding before you catch it, and then see the first ball.
   
Next, please take a look at the second ball in your left hand.  The important thing here is to make sure you throw the second ball the right way. Throw it inside the first ball, i.e., closer to the center of your body.
 
Don’t throw the second ball in front or behind the descending ball. People who end up doing this always have to juggle while walking forward to keep up with their balls. While being a good trick, it is not the ideal way to juggle. Important Note: One solution to the walking forward problem is to stand in front of a wall while juggling to keep you from moving.
   
Something else to work on at this point is juggling 2 balls in one hand.  The balls should be thrown in a circle out from the center.  Working on 2 in one hand is suitable for working toward juggling a 3.
     
3 balls
Start with 2 balls in your right hand and one in your left. Throw one of the balls in your hand with the 2 balls precisely as before.  When it comes down, throw the ball in your left hand and catch the first ball, as before. As the second ball comes down, throw the third ball in your right hand precisely as before. Then, see the second ball in your right hand and the third final in your left. NOW YOU’RE JUGGLING 3 BALLS!!

My friend, Niels, can teach you to juggle >>

3 Ball Tricks
Ensure you juggle 3 balls for at least 10 throws before moving on. For example, with scarves, have students team up, with one using the left hand and the other using the right.  So, they do a cascade pattern between the two of them.  Also, please count their throws to judge progress.
   
Over the top
All you do for this one is instead of throwing a ball to the inside of the next ball coming down, you throw it on the outside, over the top of your juggling pattern. I’m still hoping to catch it the same way.
   
Under the leg
Initially, work on this with just 1 ball.  Throw the ball under your leg.  Lift up your leg, reach beneath your knee, and throw the ball up.  Either reach low or lift your leg high.  Ideally, the pattern of the balls should stay the same.
     
Two in One Hand
Just keep holding 1 ball in your left hand and juggle the other 2 in your right hand. The rhythm for this is the same as for 3-ball juggling. Work on 2 in one hand with either hand.
     
Shower
To juggle a 3 ball shower, you must first take 2 balls in your best hand and 1 in your weaker hand, throw the 2 in your best hand into the air quickly, then pass the ball in your weak hand into your best hand and throw it. You’d like to aim for a point above the catching hand. You should catch the first one about now and then repeat that process.  The throws should be about 3 feet above your head at first; then you can slowly lower that until you’re juggling a shower at about the top of your head – this is very fast at this height – this pattern can be juggled on both sides so make sure you practice both.
   
Performance Time !!
People love performing for family and friends, so they should enjoy this performance. You may even want to have refreshments available before the show. After the big show, have your students work with all the audience members and teach them to juggle.
   
Search YouTube for learning many 3 ball tricks.

============
I HOPE THE FOLLOWING WORDS
INSPIRE YOU AND ADD TO YOUR LIFE >>
   
“Juggling and balancing effectively required that we make clear, legacy-driven choices about what we’re trying to keep in the air and how we sequence our movements down the beam. Because the ultimate grade in life is not based on how far and fast we’ve walked the beam or how many things we’ve juggled—it’s based on how much we’ve enjoyed the exercise.”
― Eric C. Sinoway
   
“Get out there and dance.
Throw some balls around and juggle.
Life should be playtime.
Don’t go through life and be too seriness.”
― Kit Summers
     
“Life is a juggling act with your own emotions. The trick is always to keep something in your hand and something in the air.”
― Chloe Thurlow
     
“In the 1950s, at least less was expected of women. Now we’re supposed to juggle a career, build a home, be the supermum every child deserves, the perfect wife, meet the demands of elderly parents, and still stay sane.”
― Sara Sheridan
 
“The real magic is the hand around the bandsaw, the thrown spark in the powder keg, the dimension-warp linking you straight into the heart of a star, the flaming sword that burns down to the pommel. Sooner juggle torches in a tar pit than mess with real magic. Sooner lie down in front of a thousand elephants.”
― Terry Pratchett
     
“…with a look on her face that said she had a lot of plates to juggle, but as long as you were prepared to be spun, everything would be fine.”
― Paul Cornell
     
“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day, you finally understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls – family, health, friends, integrity – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.”
― James Patterson
   
“Juggling is sometimes called the art of controlling patterns in time and space.”
― Carol Bartz
   
“There are good and bad days,
and this is one of them.”
― Ronald Graham
     
“Juggling is an illusion. …
In reality, the balls are independently caught and thrown in rapid succession. …
It is task switching.”
― Lawrence Welk
   
“I dropped my juggling balls, and my face grew embarrassed. It wasn’t until then that I looked around the circus of life and noted all were too consumed in their juggling act to see. This is when I learned to have fun and kick the balls instead.”
― Gary W. Keller
       
“Your mind’s always juggling, isn’t it?-mirrors, torches, plates.”
― Stefanie Schneider
     
“Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we must act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we must act alone.”
― Ray Bradbury
   
“Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls – family, health, friends, integrity – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”
― Deborah Tannen
   
“My life is very complicated. I have a lot going on, and I am juggling many responsibilities. There is so much going on that it is astounding; it is.
― Gary W. Keller
     
“Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.”
― Michael Jackson
     
“Juggling is very, very straightforward; very, very black and white; you’re manipulating objects, not people. And that’s always appealed to me.”
― Barbara Walters
     
“All that counts is the truth.
Without it, you’re just juggling
people’s daft ideas.”
― Penn Jillette
       
“Wit is often a mask. If you tear it, you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
― Jojo Moyes
     
“The fact of the matter is, when I’m on tour, I’m juggling so hard to keep all the balls in the air that I don’t often get to enjoy what I’m out there doing.”
― Khalil Gibran

MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>

Each week goes by so quickly.
It seems like time is going by faster and faster.
You must live joyfully, daily, for each day!
 
Do you know what you did last Monday?
Do you remember what you ate for dinner last Thursday?
You can keep track of your doings for a few weeks; you will see your time differently.
Remember, the quality of your life depends on what you do each day- each moment!
   
4/5–Stayed around my room, one room with a bathroom–at $1,000 a month.
I just don’t know what to do right now.
   
4/6–I slept until about 5 a.m. today. That’s an extended sleep for me. Perhaps things are getting better?
   
Jasmine and April have helped me so much with all matters. This photo is Jasmine. 
I feel so alone right now; I hate it.
         
I want to live at least until the age of 100.
     
4/7–I haven’t been for some time. I juggled today, and it went well.
     
4/8–Hmm, now what did I do today? More important, what did you do today?
     
4/9–Went to the dentist for a cleaning today. I did not take very good care of my teeth when I was young, but it’s coming back to me now. I was told that I should have all my lower teeth that are left pulled and then have a lower plate made. This gives me another reason I no longer want to live. I am not having fun and am just finding shit in my future.
   
As I was driving, I said aloud, “I’m done” with life, that is.
I’m sick of seeing double most of the time — it is awful.
       
Right now, I am drinking a Kalua-type drink that I am enjoying. My mom, sister, and brothers were alcoholics; I said I would never be. Now I can see why. 
     
4/10–Went to Costco today to pick up food and necessary items. The thing about Beth a lot, should I? Hard to keep my mind away from those thoughts.
     
4/11–Volunteering today for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_SJtwn7oQs&t=9s. 
          Today I got big bags of bacon and divided those into smaller bags.
          Boy, we went through a lot of pig.
       

THEN, KEEP DOING NEW (DAILY) FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

******************

THE GARDEN THIS WEEK

I keep this section about gardening in.
I do like the skill and hope you do, too.

Winter is here now.
But there are still things you can grow.
And remember about indoor gardening.
     
A self-supporting life can be a better life.
A garden would be a part of that life.
     
You must look into it.
   
Because I am back on the road.
There will be no more words about the garden.
I do hope Beth keeps it up.
We did a lot of work establishing our vegetable garden.
   
When I drove the van seven years ago,
I grew stuff under the sunroof windows on the top.
I may start that up in my van garden again.
You will find out, of course.

START YOUR GARDEN TODAY!
IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR YOUR LIFE!

******************
ALL OUR LIVES, WE MUST CHALLENGE OURSELVES!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK >>
You now know how. Improve your juggling so you can juggle three balls for at least five minutes.
If you can juggle, learn three tricks you have never tried.
******************
