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 |
Not a lot going on this quiet week after the holidays. I purposely ventured out a few times to keep the battery charged in my truck, needed gas and a quick trip to Wallyworld for a few things. My daughter has been sick with a sinus infection/cold but is beginning to feel better. Although my grass has turned brown from the "cold" weather a week ago, my lawn guy came on Thursday and did a beautiful job of sprucing things up. I so appreciate him. My local writing group met yesterday with a program on writing children's books, well-attended and interesting. We always have a board meeting just before the program and since I couldn't help myself from volunteering, I am back to picking up the group's (WAG) mail and depositing any checks received. I was their treasurer for five years (2014-2019) and had promised myself never again but...that's me. I think it will be okay, not that much to do and maybe it will lighten the new treasurer's load. And I finished a watercolor painting for a friend of a relative down south, putting it in the mail tomorrow. You can see Chappie here . And that's all I have for this week. Have a good one, and stay safe and healthy. |
