Connie's Corner

by An apple a day....

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #1718540

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."

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

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

There were reports of flocks of birds caught in Uncle Milty's Eye-of-the-Storm. Winds reached 180 mph. Small storm, but it won't be when it hits Florida.

Should be okay in Gainesville but one never knows. Now if Ron would just take Kamala's calls...

If you have water and food you'll survive to tell us all about the Big

Blow.

Hi Connie. I was clicking on bloggers and yours popped up. Getting snail mail is so rare nowadays. It is neat you are with a group that sends cards. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Take care!

Medicare may get more expensive and provide less if the new House gets its way.

My wife uses CVS mail order or some company that belongs to CVS that does their mail order.

I loved penmanship once I got good at it. I still write like that 10 year old who spent a summer practicing. I can do calligraphy if I'm given room to improvise.

I had a banana for breakfast... along with my coffee.

Medicare is NOT free

and doesn't cover everything.

In response to "A Week's Worth"

I am thankful for the cool mornings here as it may reach 84 today and the heat moves in starting tomorrow.

I miss the groups of writers in Missoula. Covid disrupted so much. I need to meet writers here in Udon Thani ... there ought to be some.

That's wonderful! I wish you the very best...and I am enjoying your FB photos too. The UF gators are orange and blue so you would fit right in.

In response to "Hibernation Mode"

I love using pictures and photos as prompts.

My first trip did not go as planned. I ended up with a boyfriend and I didn't want to leave so... I returned quickly.

I'll be posting lots of pics on facebook, both beauty and ugliness matter imho.

I just went to a celebration of this town. Everyone wears orange (my favorite color) as the provincial flower and flag are both orange.

Wow! I'm not much on contests but those are some beautiful photos!!! Thanks for sharing that info. I was surprised to see you back in Thailand so soon, but if I lived in Montana? Yes, I would be back in warm weather anytime possible. Enjoy!

In response to "Hibernation Mode"

I usually can write winter/summer but have the most energy spring/autumn. My body isn't quite sure what season it's in at the moment. One week in Thailand. 78 at noon in Udon Thani. High in the 80s. Gets down to the 50s at night. Almost perfect weather for me.

I know my stik plant is blooming in Montana. Here? Orchids among an assortment of tropical flowers.

If you like writing to images... "Journalistic Intentions"

by Turkey DrumStik

has 16 photo prompts taken by Stik. One needs to write to 8 for the month of February.

Repair Mode

I have been in repair mode today. Recaulked around the bathtub, replaced the tub drain stopper thingamajiggy, repainted the walls above the tub tiles, climbed my ladder and replaced the bulb in the hallway light, and replaced the non-working end of my outside electric cord. Whew! Now I'm ready for a nap but seem to be a little wired! So...going to work on my taxes which should take about a half hour since I have had everything setting there waiting for me for a few days now. High time since they're do on Monday.

Happy Easter, everyone!
