 |  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   |
| Just when most of us are coming up with new ways to cope, sheltering-in-place rules are starting to be lifted. Some beaches have been opened here in Florida causing lots of comments yea and nay. I would love to go to the beach, being a beach baby in my younger years, but you know what they say about erring on the side of caution. That's me. I'm a few months over 75 so even if restrictions are lifted, I'll be going on as normal for now for a while. Before this, I often wondered how I would get along without a car since I use it so little anyway, hardly worth the insurance, and to my delight I have found out. I can order groceries, I can get my prescriptions delivered, my books are on my Kindle, there's Facebook and writing.com for socializing, Zoom for group meetings and classes, and friends, relatives, and neighbors offering to help with anything I need and don't have. I think it's wonderful. Will this continue after? |
