 |  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   |
| Looking back on my last post I can laugh now at all the hype and my resulting stress. Yes, we had some bad weather and some clean up to take care of, but all is well, thankfully. Places near the coast, not so lucky. The seafood festival in Cedar Key had to be cancelled because of all the debris, and I'm sure this was devastating to such a creative and artistic town. It is my favorite place to visit close by (@50 miles). I hope everything is back to normal by the Spring Arts Festival they always hold in March or April. They are a very resilient group of people. I had my bone density test done in October (every 2 years) and the results were that my bone loss has stabilized, not exactly what I was hoping for but better than losing more from osteoporosis. Since I stopped my Prednisone (for PMR in remission) in September, my doc is allowing me to stop the Fosamax, which I have been taking for my bones since 2017. So, gratefully, I am now off two medications! And then, in November the election, but I can't bear to go there. My daughter voted early at her library and returned home to find she had left her wallet somewhere. Of course, she thought the library...who, when contacted, said no one had turned it in. So, she cancelled all her cards, etc., and a week went by before she found it laying on the far end of her kitchen counter. Oh well, better to find it, right? Thanksgiving will soon be here. I don't eat meat so no turkey for me, but it's the trimmings that are the best anyway. I am grateful to be alive at 80 (never thought I'd be 80) and in good health...so thankful. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and plentiful Thanksgiving. Stay safe if you are traveling, and I hope your destinations meet all your expectations. |
