 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 are currently in drought conditions here in Alachua County in Florida. Actually, I think I heard 33% of Florida is now in a drought. In fact, the last "moisture" we had was the ice storm a week ago last Friday which hardly counts. It was such a freak thing. Spring is supposed to be lush and green. And dust is almost unheard of in Florida. Not now. My miniature gardenias are blooming, not as prolifically, but the smell is more intense or so it seems...and the jasmine as well. And no rain is expected in the coming week. Just especially hot high temps of 90F and above. I try to water a little but plants know the difference. I'm still enjoying my back porch even with the high temps. Dry makes a huge difference so good and bad like most things. Afternoon short naps in the porch swing are one of my favorite things...until the sound of a lawn mower (the loudest white noise on earth)! But that doesn't happen often. I can swing and doze for 20 or 30 minutes and feel so refreshed when I'm up and awake again. And at 80 that's a big deal! Today, I have to pick up a couple of prescriptions (glaucoma eye drops) and then go to another store to get birdseed. Sometimes I order no waste seed from Amazon but the squirrels think I ordered it special for them. Conflicted and not sure which is the best thing to do so I end up alternating my seed purchases between local and online. And I need to get a birthday card for my great granddaughter who, on May 2nd, will be the big number 1. |
