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 had a really stupid stupid mishap yesterday! Our cardboard recycle has to be cut up into certain size pieces. To do this, I was using a box cutter, and geez, I dropped the thing...open of course...and it landed right in the middle of my foot, only thongs on. I looked at it a moment not believing what had happened, no pain, no blood, just a slit on the top of my foot. I hightailed it to the bathroom, grabbed a gauze bandage and began washing it off. Blood went everywhere. I kept blotting and blotting and it kept bleeding. I grabbed a box of large bandaids and limped to the bed, propped up my foot and tried to apply the bandaid like a butterfly bandage because the slit was gaping open by now. Between sopping up blood and pushing the skin together, I finally got the bandaid on. I ended up sleeping and reading most of yesterday with my foot propped up. This morning it hurts some to walk but thank goodness it was no worse than it was. Can you imagine? I don't think I could have done that if I tried, the point a perfect stick in the middle of my foot from a height of about 4 feet. Soooo dumb and unlucky. I think that ends my days with the box cutter. until next time...c |
