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 picked up a couple books at the library yesterday, ones I had on hold, My Name Is Lucy Barton and The Sympathizer. I do love Elizabeth Strout among many others *Smile*. I started and finished Lucy last night. What a thought-provoking book. Lucy's childhood was...shall we say "austere?" Poverty, loveless, even hinting at abuse. The story revolves around Lucy's nine-week stint in the hospital with complications from an appendectomy. Her mom stays with her for five days, the mom she has been estranged from since she married many years ago.

The thing I got from the book, and it sort of felt like a weight on me, was that love-deprived children tend to love everyone who is kind to them. I can't quit thinking about that. I believe it may be true.

until next time...c
