 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 **  |
| I finally broke down and ordered a French press (and a few other things, but more on that later) from Amazon, and I am now having the absolutely best cup of coffee I have ever had in my life! I will never drink another cup of drip coffee. It is so good. And now for the other things. These came with the press, "The Ultimate Self-Teaching Method to Play Ukulele" and a compact clip-on "Digital Tuner." The actual ukulele should be here on Wednesday or Thursday. Yes, I am going to try to learn to play the ukulele. Jim's favorite song, Izzy's Somewhere Over the Rainbow, has inspired me. I have been humming it for days. Wish me luck. I've looked at all kinds of helpful sites on the web, I play piano...a little...but apparently that is not going to be much help. If anyone has pointers, let me know. I understand from all I've read that the strings stretch to begin with and get out of tune quickly so I am prepared for that. I ordered the soprano uke because I have tiny hands and it is the smallest one, just hope my fingers are limber enough for the chord positions. You know what they say...learning something new is good for the old brain... until next time...c |
