 |  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   |
| Merry Christmas, everyone! It's very cold here this morning, 25F and the birds' water is frozen...again. Two squirrels are scavenging one of the feeders but I say have at it. It's cold and they are welcome to it. My daughter will be here around noon and we plan to eat out this year...Chinese, a first. Will report later how it goes. In the meantime, hope everyone has an especially nice holiday. I can't help thinking though about all the homeless and people without power today. May they find help and warmth. God Bless. |
| Everything on my previous post's list has been accomplished. This coming weekend I am invited to my Jax daughter's home for a work-related dinner celebration, an overnight stay and a little Saturday shopping. Currently, I'm working on a chihuahua watercolor which is giving me a fit. The photo shows a sort of champagne (pinkish) tan color which I am having trouble getting right, not usual for me, but I think I am getting stressed out about it and just need to back off for a while. Most of my Christmas shopping is done and now I need to consider what to wear for my weekend jaunt. Thinking about some shopping this afternoon but oh how I hate shopping for myself! The house across the street from me is getting a new roof, such nice weather for it, 60s and 70s, but this weekend is supposed to turn cold, 30s maybe, so what to wear? |
| We will be having our local writing group's (https://writersalliance.org/) Holiday Celebration on December 11th. It will be an adventure in author readings (no, not me, I'm too shy) held at a local sound stage with food and drinks nearby. I've never been at the place so I intend to check it out this Thursday when there will be a local farmers' market nearby. I do this because at my age it seems every unknown causes a certain amount of stress and this is my way to avoid it. I painted a watercolor of a tuxedo cat and took a photo of the happy girt holding it (https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqNiiWGwtS7Fl8RnyhN9...). Planning to put up my Christmas tree tomorrow and mail some Christmas cards. Watched a good show on Netflix last night (Inside Man) and now reading another Mary Stone series, not quite as good as the Winter and Autumn ones but...okay. |
