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 |
Oh I am so glad it's warming up again. I actually get depressed when it's cold, probably from staying inside. Do you keep cards and letters? The reason I ask, next month has been proclaimed by somebody, probably a card company, as national letter-writing month. I have always kept cards and letters either Jim or I received and enjoy every once in awhile going back through them, reading and remembering. There are some funny audio birthday cards, one of a man on a mower with actual sounds of the mower and another of a man snoring...you can guess the sound. Sadly, some of them have lost their audio. I like the letters best, though, especially ones from my aunts when they would write with particular news. Seems like it's been a long time since I got a snail-mail card or letter. Maybe national letter-writing month is a good idea...just not everyday. until next time...c |
