Ten days ago I juggled two balls in my left hand for 341 juggles. It was a personal record. Better than my record with the right hand (somewhere in the 200s at that point).
On January first of this year I couldn't juggle three balls for more than a couple throws. Now that record is 56 minutes.
I'll be switching the right hand juggle from count to time because two days ago I set a new right hand record of 333 (still no 341, mind you) & skipped juggling yesterday, opting for the my favorite tax exempt mega corporation's Sunday games, but today, on the first & only attempt made: 955 juggles.
I think I only stopped because I started wondering about the world record, & started thinking of other, better jugglers (that & the two balls hit each other in mid-air).

The proper tone in describing this record setting & similar ones, either to yourself or someone else in public is derision & healthy teasing, which in my absence should be as hearty as you like.
In private, however, the proper tone is one of jubilation.

The third commandment of becoming a saint: congratulate yourself, pat yourself on the back, stroke every pathetic little part of your ego, truly absorb it.
"Awesome job," say to yourself. Or a fist pump will suffice.
But something.
& then laugh at yourself for good measure.
