 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 think I may have overdone it yesterday, mowed all my grass, trimmed everywhere, and edged the sidewalk and driveway. It was 95 degrees. Have you ever heard the expression "bear caught." Me neither until I met Jim. I think it relates to sunstroke or heat exhaustion. Anyway, I was almost bear caught and had to quit without blowing off the driveway...bad headache and extremely hot. My inner thermostat does not seem to work as well as it once did. It was 7:30 before I felt like getting into the shower, but after that I revived and this morning I feel pretty good, just really tired. One of my granddaughters called me last evening and may go to the poetry reading with me on Sunday. She has a funeral to attend later in the week and hopes to be back in time. My writing group is helping with the poetry thing, providing refreshments, etc. (which I am helping with). The readings are mostly by young folks, some older, not me though, a poet I'm not. But I am looking forward to it...hope she can go with me. There's always something interesting going on here in Gainesville, especially in the arts. I mark many things on my calendar lying in front of my computer screen (just one of the dollar specials from Dollar Tree). Tonight I see the Klezmer Katz will be playing at Lightning Salvage, the music part of Satchel's Pizza. Have you ever heard Klezmer? If not, you should. It is one of a kind. One of my writer friends is in the group. I think I'll call Sue and see if she wants to go. until next time...c |
