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'm inside in the a/c resting a few moments after a short stint of yard work...getting ready to mow. It is sooo hot, but I know that no one wants to hear that.

I must be on a cooking/making/baking binge. I saw this recipe on Facebook for peach sherbet and tried it yesterday...10 oz frozen peaches, 1 can condensed milk (I used no fat), and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, processed in my mixer and placed into the freezer. Well, it tastes pretty good, more like ice cream than sherbet, and next time (if there is a next time) I would leave out the cinnamon and maybe put in some vanilla. It definitely will not go to waste in this "hot" weather...licking good in an ice cream cone.

until next time...c
