 |  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   |
| What skill (craft, instrument, sport, art, etc) do you wish you could do but can’t? What’s stopping you from learning? I had always wanted to kayak (love the water) and when I turned 70, I signed up for a class at the local community college. It wasn't easy, but I successfully concluded the course including the in the water part, even doing the spill and getting back aboard. But somehow my confidence never grew enough to let me continue on although I loved the feeling I got on the water. I had some health issues and now arthritis so that little voice tells me "better not." I'm the only water baby in my family so no one else to go with. I love boating but only go on tour boats now. I do have a friend (not close) who I could ask to tag along, but confidence is still the issue. Maybe when the weather warms up more, I will do that. There's nothing like gliding in a kayak. |
