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 |
I am appalled that it has been so long since I added to this blog. Impossible, I say. Something must have been deleted. No, all is correct so please let me rectify that. I have been painting...a lot, writing...not so much. No reason, just not much happening I guess or not much happening that is interesting to write about. I joined Snail Mail a while back and have received several lovely cards and notes from members who are kind and caring. I love mailbox mail, such a treat from the normal advertising cards and flyers that have become the standard daily deluge. Amy Jo's note arrived yesterday and made my trip to the mailbox more than worthwhile! The weather here in Gainesville, Florida, is perfect at this time of year, lows in the 60s and highs in the 80s, great for an old arthritic person like me. Great for taking walks and from my window where I am now perched typing this post, I can see neighbors doing that very thing. Also saw one lone ibis food-hunting on the front lawn...how did it get separated, usually they are in 2s, 3s or 4s. Crows and chickadees and cardinals and wrens, etc, are busy at the feeder which I can also see from here, actually within 10 feet of my window. Well, my coffee cup is drained and other things are calling so I will end for now but promise to be back soon. |
