 |  Day to day stuff....a memoir without order. |
 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."  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.     Everyone has a story....here's mine.....c   |
| Texted with my daughter this morning and she will come down on Friday to take me to surgery pre-op (cataract). So glad, I need some moral support and the traffic in that area is horrendous. One less thing to worry about, and I so appreciate her for offering to do that. I lost another schoolmate. He had a fall and did not recover. The three Billys in my class are now all gone, Billy Lyons, Billy Porter and now Billy Parker. Makes me think about my own "expiration date". All three still lived in my hometown in Delaware. I'm so sad not to be able to go to funerals living so far away, but all of them are in my thoughts...a lot. Another classmate, Barbara, let me know. Her son is married to Billy's daughter. Barbara and I reconnected via Facebook several years ago, and I am so grateful for that. I spent most of today painting a sympathy card for the family and just took it out to the mailbox. I haven't seen an obit yet so not sure when the funeral will be...and of course some people don't have funerals anymore, just celebrations of life. I've had the radio on all day, listening to NPR through my local station (WUFT). The "noise" is comforting and Sundays are Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me and other funny podcasts. Be careful of scams...they appear out of nowhere! |
