 |  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 great life history group meeting today. Every story shared was a treat. If you're looking for a prompt, here are the topics of those stories. 1. A Catholic second grader's first confession. 2. How I became an agnostic. 3. Teaching our daughters to drive. 4. What I miss most about being a kid. 5. My two grandmothers. 6. War of the wasps (my wasp story, previous blog post). 7. Local concert group in Prague. We had a smaller than normal group today but they made up for it in quality. The driving story and the first confession were hilarious. Did you ever think rye bread might blacken your character? My group's ages range from the 60s to the 90s, and even though our backgrounds are diverse, we always relate to each other's stories. |
