 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 **  |
| Well, I am back to writing my memoir/life history again. To be able to write about Jim's illness, I had to go back a little farther than I planned but it was the only way I could get comfortable. I think now I will be able to work my way forward, slowly. I'm not going to worry about the time and how long it takes me anymore. I checked the weather on the web this morning - cloudy but no rain - so I commenced to getting ready to cut the grass, old clothes, old tennies, slathered on the sun block, and got my hat. In the garage with the door still down, I filled the mower with gas, checked the oil and the tires, raised the garage door and WHAT? It was pouring! I'm all ready whenever....maybe tomorrow. So here I am working at the computer instead. I updated some stuff on my writing group's website, watched the hummingbird outside my window, printed the minutes for my book club on Tuesday, sent out the meeting reminder notice, "wasted" some time on FB, and finished a story for my Life History Group on Thursday. Our book club selection for Tuesday is The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George which I just finished yesterday. I had to force, and I mean force, myself to read it. I may have skimmed over some of it. I cannot figure out the point of the book. Out of 30 some selections (our book club will be 3 years old in September) this one has been the dullest. I'm anxious to hear what others think. Okay, I've gotten a little distance while writing this post so now I'm going back to working on my memoir. Hope you all have a great 4th! until next time...c |
