 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 ** Image ID #1701066 Unavailable **  |
| Write your entry today about commitment. Committing to an activity, craft, person, way of being, etc. Consider the concepts of diligence, honesty, and responsibility. What does commitment look like to you? Commitment at my age is mostly to volunteer work, and I take it as seriously as I do any work. I'm full in when I commit. That means no procrastinating, and no side-stepping, doing the job (work) to the very best of my ability. I was a bookkeeper for a large part of my working life and so when my writing group needed a treasurer in 2013, I volunteered. Though I had no experience with non-profits, research and reading kept me abreast of current requirements. When I took over, the group had lost its Federal non-profit status because the previous treasurer neglected to file the appropriate yearly reports. I succeeded in getting reinstatement and continued to serve for almost 6 years. Sometimes volunteering is more stressful and burdensome than regular work, but most of the time I enjoyed holding the position. So that's what commitment looks like to me. |
