 |  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   |
| 2030 sounds so futuristic, but it’s only ten years away! What do you think the world will be like ten years from now? What inventions do you think we will have by then? What are some changes you think will happen in the world in the next ten years? 2030 sounds so distant. I'm not sure I'll make it there, but if I do I will be 85. Right now 2020 sounds perfect, doesn't it. Like 2020 vision. I can think of things I would like to have in 2030, especially a robot to do things for me that I can't do for myself. Of course, I hope I don't need that but just in case it would be nice to know they existed and were affordable for personal use. Depending on the robot's capabilities, nursing homes might become a thing of the past. Wouldn't that be great! It would allow seniors to remain in their homes until the end, then the robot could call the funeral home when the time came. No need for doctors (except for programming) or hospitals at the end of life, but I guess the drug companies would continue to prosper. Hopefully, my brain will continue to function normally but if not, a cure for Alzheimer's would be nice, extra nice if it was quick and painless like a pill that you could take. And suppose you could look at your brain on a computer screen, delete things you didn't want to remember anymore and highlight those you do. I'd like to delete my potato chip craving and my fear of heights. And pets and loved ones, wouldn't it be great if your pet and spouse lived exactly as long you do, all expiring at the same time, and even better if we could be disease free until the very end. I don't expect any of these things to come to pass in my lifetime but someday, maybe. Nah, I'm just dreaming. |
