Sometimes my father would open his juggling act saying, “There are good jugglers and there are lousy jugglers. Tonight you get to see a double feature–a juggler who’s good and lousy.” Though he wasn't the greatest juggler he was pretty darn good. And he was funny which is why his solo act was centered on comedy topped off with some pretty darn good juggling.
My father knew how to apply his talents to at least get by if not excel in whatever he was doing. I've tried to do the same in my life. Looking back on things, I guess I've managed well. I’m not a very good juggler, but I spent years making a living as a professional juggler. Even now I’m always dropping stuff. Perhaps someday I can pick up some of it.
It’s not so much how good you are as much as it is what you do with what you’ve got and the lucky breaks you encounter along life’s way. I've encountered many fortuitous circumstances in my life journey. Hopefully many more lie in wait on the road that lies ahead.

Hope you'll excuse my rambling. I'm just filling my Monday space with content as I wait for my Battle of the Bands post coming up tomorrow. No song clues in this current post. The clues can be found in my two previous posts.
In any case, please stop by tomorrow to vote on my next Battle.
Are you making do? Are you pretty adept at adapting to new situations? What in your life has flustered you the most?
