 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 **  |
| We've had about 14 different rain showers today and now, after the most recent one, I am looking out the window by my computer at the sun shining as brightly as ever. The most interesting thing is the roof of my neighbor across the street. Steam is rising from his shingles about four feet into the air, then slowly drifting to the west and disappearing. I wonder if mine is doing the same? Our county hired an independent contractor to pick up the yard debris from Hermine. He...they...it finally came last Tuesday, a huge dump truck type thing with that arm and big metal scissor-type "grasper" on top. He had my tiny little four-week old plus trashpile removed in about one minute. Thank heavens. I was so tired of looking at it everyday. Now, I discover that Hurricane Matthew may be on the way. My book club is meeting tomorrow at a local museum for a tour of Frida Kahlo's portraits, a photography exhibit, something different for us to do. We have a member who is a docent at the art museum and she will be our guide...looking forward to it. I think I mentioned our book for the next meeting (Oct. 4th) is A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, a super interesting read - 2 times for me. But I am reading a book now that I have barely been able to put down, A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley. It's about one of those big family-owned farms, this one in Iowa, where the mother dies when the three daughters are young, leaving them to be raised by their father. You will either love it or hate it...not going to say anymore. until next time...c |
