 |  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   |
| Write about something that makes you squeamish. What is icky, gross, or just plain “yuck!” Is there anything that makes other people shiver with disgust that doesn’t bother you? There's not much that makes me squeamish anymore. I guess when you have to do most things for yourself, the squeamish barometer gets tamped down. I do still feel that familiar drop in my stomach when I encounter a Cuban tree frog inside my home. If you're not familiar with them, check this out. I know it says south Florida, but, yes, they are in north central Florida, too. Books don't usually make me squeamish, but Upton Sinclair's The Jungle led to my becoming a vegetarian. Some of his descriptions are blood curdling and I'm not meaning that as a pun. I had a hard time getting through the book, and it changed my life forever. |
