 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 had a wonderful day at the Harn Museum with my book club buddies. Our docent was so good she brought history to life. I feel like I knew Frida Kahlo personally! I cannot imagine though the awful pain she must have felt from her accident. Someone remarked that it may have contributed to her artistry. If that's what it takes, give me my old mundane life. After the Frida tour, two friends and I had lunch at the Camellia Cafe downstairs and it was excellent too, veggie wraps, crab bisque, and pear walnut salads. Then shopping back upstairs at the gift shop where I found the perfect birthday present for my granddaughter, a beautiful journal and a student watercolor set, something she would never buy for herself. Tomorrow I'm working for a couple hours at our writers' booth at a local art festival, really looking forward to that and of course traipsing around the festival looking at all the beautiful art, and there will be live music at a center stage all day. Then a friend is meeting me and we are going for ice cream. The weather is getting so nice and pleasant to be outside but I'm keeping my eye on Matthew. It looks now like we may be spared but I'm not sure about the east coast, especially the Carolinas, hoping the hurricane moves through quickly and easterly into the far Atlantic. until next time...c |
