 |  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 was reading the Blogging Bliss newsletter, scrolling down, and noticed the first blog started out with Peeps for Champagne, and that reminded me...you know how that goes. My husband once had a job as a champagne taster. Yes, he did. It was an upscale restaurant in Dover, Delaware, called the Dinner Bell Inn on State Street. It may still be there, I'm not sure, this was back in the 1960s. He was an Airman third class and I'm sure you know how poor that is so he took many part time jobs to pick up extra money. When a table ordered champagne, his job was to pop the cork and taste a tiny little bit to make sure it was good, not flat, I don't know what else. And the funny thing was that he was almost a teetotaler, hardly liking any kind of alcoholic beverage. I think he worked there about two weeks. until next time...c |
