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.

It's been very cold the last few days, cold enough that I had to bring in my outside potted plants. Good for me but not too good for them. The air inside is very dry from the heat being on. I should be able to put them back out tomorrow as the "warm-up" nears. Even though it's to be in the 60s F today, tonight will continue in the 30s. I noticed a large frost on my lawn yesterday morning. My Christmas (actually Thanksgiving) cactus had only one little bloom this year but my hoya plant now has 3 heart-shaped leaves! I have an aloe planted in the ground outside so out it must stay and so far it is doing well without covering, fingers crossed.

While I was trying to figure out what to paint next, yesterday I cleaned up my emails...over 500 of them. I made some new labels for those I felt I needed to keep and deleted all the rest. When I see a FB photo I like, I save the image and then put it into an email to myself so now I have an email label of "photos to paint", easy to look at and decide...maybe.

On Thursday I have my wellness visit scheduled with my primary care doctor, and thankfully, it is supposed to be warm in the 70sF that day. And since I now have the key to the WAG P O Box, I will check their mail while I am out.

I've had a meltdown on my Kindle Vella story, can't seem to get going on another episode...will try again today. I have 28 chapters posted. And I need to write something for my next critique group meeting on the 25th. Cold weather puts me in hibernation mood!
