Day to day stuff....a memoir without order.
A special sig made for me by Mystic and gifted to me by Kat.


Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere." *Idea*

I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination:

Create a visual journal
Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist.

Think like an artist
Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image.

Listen to Bach
Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors.

Play word games
Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick.

Daydream
Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics.

I talked with my half-sister this morning. Yes, I grew up as an only child thinking it was just me and come to find out I have 2 half-sisters...but more on that later.

This half-sister lives near Tampa, around 115 miles from where I live. She has been to see me a few times and I visited her on Easter of 2023, compliments of my daughter's driving. I would not dare to drive that far. She is 4 years younger and maybe in worse health. Sometimes it's hard to tell. She looked and acted great on our visit but I know she has had back surgery and has a lung nodule (like me), but unlike me, she smokes. Lung cancer runs in my family and I quit smoking in 1975. And every time we talk, she has health problems of some kind. Today's talk was no different. Not that I don't think they're real, just that she seems to like to talk about them...which is a little depressing to me. I just listen and eventually she runs out of steam. So our phone calls are not lengthy, but enough to keep in touch and abreast of what is happening with each of us.

I haven't done a whole lot this morning..yet..watched a few painting videos on YouTube and looked at new pictures on Bird Buddy, still enjoying both. It was in the 30s again this morning but like yesterday is in the 60s now, near noontime, which really is pretty nice weather. Hope everyone is having a good first week of 2025!
