 |  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   |
| One more day in 2024...hard to believe. Why am I always dreading holidays and then have such good ones? Yes, Christmas was a wonderful family time for me this year, but I still think of those who are alone and feel sad for them...that is, unless they want to be alone and some people do. My first Christmas after my husband died (2012) was a sad one, attempted to make happy by family but doomed from the beginning. But I got through it, thanks to loved ones. This year one of my granddaughters and hubby gifted me a bird buddy, and it has become one of my favorite things. In fact, I may be getting a little addicted to it...lol. Even though from where I sit right now, I can see my feeders (and birds), there's something about a close-up that is exciting. And, of course, I don't sit here all the time. It takes stills as well as videos...so interesting. I guess I'll be keeping the seed people in business for a while longer. :) Looking to 2025, I expect to have cataract surgery soon, just waiting for a call to schedule me. My left eye is within the guidelines to have the surgery done, but my right eye remains great. My Fire tablet died yesterday, would not turn on or charge, and I feel lost without a Kindle book to read. It was 4 years old so I guess that is normal especially for someone who reads everyday. I ordered a Paperwhite this time since I never used the tablet for anything but reading. It's due to arrive on Friday, maybe a good way to start the new year. Happy New Year everyone!!! |
