all the balls

Spring baseball and tennis seasons are winding down, but this month always tends to require so much hussle. May makes me feel like we're just one minor logistical hiccup away from a breakdown. We've all been trying to keep a lot of balls in the air lately, learning to occasionally let the rubber ones drop without serious consequence - they typically bounce, not much harm done. Juggling priorities, especially at the end of a busy school year, it's good to be reminded that certain things are most important (the glass balls, stuff like mental health and relationships) and to practice managing time and energy accordingly.
