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 ** |
| My poor little desk calendar is so empty. I'm writing things on it like "took the truck for a ride to no place for nothing." Sad. But on the other hand, I have been painting and reading...a lot. My sleep hours are all messed up, napping too much during the day and remaining bug-eyed at night. Will we ever be back to normal, whatever that is, I'm beginning to not remember. Some things are continuing in this funny time of pandemicese. The lawn guy comes as usual every two weeks. Grocery shopping must happen unless one orders for delivery. I still go to the store although it is not as pleasant an experience as it used to be. My Publix has aisle arrows for direction and I am amazed at the people who don't bother to look or look and don't care. I try to get outside every day to do a little yard work, weeding, picking up pine cones, filling the bird feeders and refreshing their water. I resist going to the mail box every day for junk mail. Yesterday I tried following a youtube exercise video (for seniors) and could only get through 20 minutes of it. And it was not difficult, believe me. I need a video on motivation...or a kick in the butt! |
