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.

I have been cocooning again. Jim's 4 year anniversary came and passed on the 19th. I write in all kinds of things to do on my calendar for those days before and after but that's as far as I get. I have been doing my usual yard work so that's something.

I don't usually write about touchy subjects like politics and religion but.... Why does Trump get so much press time? Everyday it seems he does something newsworthy. Hillary just chose her vp and I had to search to find it. Trump has mastered the con, the art of evasion, and how to get airtime without paying for it. I'm not in love with Hillary but I'm not a sheep either...although I did belong to the Woolgatherers once. I think that's what it was called...my memory, yikes.

I have relatives and friends who love Trump and I can't figure it out. No matter what stupid, racist, blah blah thing he says, it's okay. Have they been brainwashed? Maybe that's what it is. Remember the 70s and all the cults? If you repeat something long enough, people start to believe it. "Make America great again." All I can do is shake my head and wonder why. And I'm doing it, too. Almost all my post about Trump. Damn!

until next time...c
