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 up early this morning. It's not even light yet. My window is open and I hear an owl with just that one forlorn note...whoooo, whoooo...high to low, and a cricket deep down in the bush underneath the window...chirp, chirp. Traffic is already whizzing past out front and the motorcycle across the street is put, put, putting as it waits for its master to guide it wherever it's going this morning.

Mopsy got me up around 5:30 and I tried to go back to sleep but that didn't work out so I got up for good around 6:15. I can usually go out on the porch, lay down in the swing and conk out but not this morning. I have a board meeting this evening of my writers' group. I'm treasurer and my brain is ticking off everything I need to do today to prepare my report. That's the problem.

Unbelievably, my yard debris from Hermine continues to lie out near the curb still waiting for pickup. There was so much in our county that they haven't gotten to our development yet and tomorrow is pickup day...again. Maybe they'll come today. My grass needs cutting and it's in the way...and probably dead underneath.

until next time...c
