I'm a musician. Especially a flutist. When I noticed that the drummers in my life seemed to be the most likely people to be able to juggle if I just tossed them 3 things I made a connection. I'd like to be a drummer someday; but for now, I don't have the time, space, & drive for drumming. But... juggling is a study in rhythm, isn't it? I'm always looking for ways to improve my musicianship. Now I consider the study of juggling to be complimentary to my life as a musician. Plus, juggling is better with music! I try to catch the ball on the beat. What about you - what are your hobbies? And how do they tie in to juggling?

Please share your favorite clips! PS I have no idea who this is in the .gif, but good for them! Maybe one day I can juggle upside down like that 🙃

I love that learning new juggling skills inspires humility. Picking up the ball not only keeps me in shape physically, but reminds me to take a fresh perspective frequently, and try, try again. I learned to juggle when I gave up on those old juggling balls that had been sitting in my attic - I planned to use them, but their pleather was becoming sticky - ew! - and got some soft microfiber hackey sacks. Then, I discovered flop balls! They are my favorite juggling tools/toys. They are so soft! What are your favorite toys and why?
