Day to day stuff....a memoir without order.

A special sig made for me by Mystic and gifted to me by Kat.


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." *Idea*

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.

What music makes you want to dance?

I was a teenager when American Bandstand was the craze so I grew up with dancing music from 1960 on. Anything with a lively beat will set my feet to tapping and my hands to patting. Now, though, dancing is a thing of the past. I dance mostly in my head since I tend to trip over my own feet.

I have a story in my Memoir folder about how I learned to dance, so long ago. It brings back precious memories. It's so much better to dance your way through life than walk, but for now I'll be happy with toe tapping, singing (to myself) and whistling. Whistling is what happens when I find myself exceedingly happy about something. Often, I'm not aware of whistling and will catch myself with surprise. And that makes me even happier.
