 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 **  |
| What are some of your favorite foods? Comfort food, ethnic food, meal, beverage, fruit, protein, unique food combination, etc - make us hungry! Salty food is my downfall. I never saw a potato chip I didn't like especially those big ones with the burnt edges. In my younger days (and probably now if I allowed myself) I could eat an entire huge bag of chips at one sitting. And it's mostly unconscious eating, one chip after another, while I'm doing something else, reading, watching a movie or tv, I'm on autopilot with the old hand going into and out of the bag. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when all those different flavored potato chips came out, sour cream, vinegar, pickle, barbecue, wow. I got so used to eating the vinegar chips if I only had plain, I would douse them with apple cider vinegar from the bottle and then drink the little bit of salty juice remaining in the bottom of the bag, I loved them so much. Once I went on a potato chip diet, only allowing myself to eat chips, thinking that perhaps that would turn me against them and I would never crave potato chips again. It didn't work. I ate chips for three days and the next one still tasted as good as the first. So the only way I found I could stop eating chips was not to buy them. I don't buy any kind of snacky salty food because they make me want chips even more. When I get to the point where I can't stand it, I buy the tiniest bag (1 serving of 170 calories) always hanging just above the check-out line at the grocery store, devoir it immediately when I get home, and that will satisfy me for a month or so. I don't think I will ever lose my craving for potato chips. Although it sounds wacky, chips are my comfort food. My favorite ethnic food would be pad thai (vegetarian), fav meal is eggplant parmesan, fav beverage is coffee, fav fruit is a toss up between blue berries, strawberries, or mango, fav protein is cheese anything, and bread and butter pickles on white bread would be my most unique (weird) food combination. I'm not sure any of this made anyone hungry, but I could sure use some chips right now! |
