 |  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   |
| My ac just conked out around 1:30 and the high today is 92. A repairman may come this evening but most likely not until tomorrow afternoon. So...I am quietly sitting here under the ceiling fan. So funny, I just checked the Cramp prompt for tomorrow and it involves an ac on the blink and what you do to stay cool. Too bad I'm not very original. It's not that bad if I conserve my energy and stay hydrated. In the heat I've been painting a little, writing a little, and reading a little...not bored yet. My daughter's birthday is July 1st and since she lives in a small apartment with no washer/dryer, I bought one of those compact ones from Amazon for her. It looks like it may be a lot of work but she lives on the second floor so I hope it's worth it and that she likes it. At any rate, it's on its way. I bought Mopsy (and myself) a basil plant and since some leaves needed plucking right away, I'm making some basil/garlic infused vinegar, has to set and be shaken each day for around 2 weeks, but so easy I had to try it. I love chopped basil on cheese pizza and on lentil stew...too hot for any of that today though. I think it will be a chef's salad without the meat for dinner and a huge glass of iced tea, maybe with a basil leaf? And a sherbet ice cream cone for dessert...yum. Think cold. until next time...c |
