 |  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   |
| Yard work was the order of the day, actually, yesterday and today and maybe a few days next week since I am so slow. And then there is the rain to contend with which happens on a daily basis but at least it cools thing off a little. Everyone in my book club loved A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles even though it's almost 500 pages and tiny print. Is book print getting smaller or is it me? One of our members even said she might be in love with Count Rostov. He was a pretty nice guy for a made-up one, a real gentleman. A couple weeks ago a writer friend mentioned she was addicted to Madam Secretary (Tea Leoni and Tim Daly) so I looked it up on my fav streaming site (http://findtv.net/index.htm) and have watched all 4 seasons. Does anyone have any new recommendations since I am now searching for something to watch? I cancelled Netflix and Acorn a couple months ago because I couldn't find anything new that I liked and PBS is in the doldrums for the summer. My family history group met last Thursday and our topic was to write about how we perceive the group and what we get out of it. I was amazed at the stories remembered that others had written about, some very long ago. We all love our group and all the people in it, so diverse, and we learn so much from each other about writing and about life. until next time...c |
