 |  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'm having to prune back...waaaay back....my honeysuckle bush as it has been invaded by little cherry trees. Thanks, birdies! It now looks like a right triangle. I pruned as far down each "tree" as I could but fear they will be re-sprouting. Cherry trees are very hardy! I'll keep watch. Our first 90 degree day (F) is forecast for next week...the first week of April. I think we are in for a hot summer. Easter seems very late this year, the 20th. I remember Easter in Delaware as being very cool if not cold with lightweight coats required for church...and Easter egg hunts. Our natural history museum has closed (UF) for expansion. No date given for reopening. I go several times a year, especially to the gift shop for birthdays for those unusual gifts. I'll miss them until they are open again but the art museum, the Harn, is open so I will probably go there more often. They have a nice gift shop too. I am really lucky to live in a university town with all the extra benefits....except for the student drivers. I'm continuing to have problems from my cataract surgery...red burning dry eye. I go back to my doctor tomorrow so maybe he will know something to help. Dry eye drops seem to be less and less effective. Screen time is not nearly as much fun as it used to be, but things could be worse, a lot worse, so I am grateful for that. Have a great weekend! |
