Connie's Corner

by An apple a day....

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #1718540

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."

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

And I hope the same for your wife! Thanks for your kind words. I'll be thinking of both of you on the 7th.

Hello. I was struck by the similarity of your eye situation with that of my wife's. She will be undergoing a corneal replacement on 7 April. She's already using drops and cream; it's all so complicated.

I do hope things work out successfully for you and you recover fully.

Yes, I love the "feeling" of Gainesville! Heard on the news that Thailand (actually Myanmar) had an earthquake this morning...hope everyone you know is okay.

April was usually chilly where I grew up. It's better here in Montana. Crocuses, chickweed, marsh marigolds, daffodils in bloom here.

There are advantages to living in a college town. The youth add a vibrancy.

Saw my first daffodil today (the 17th) gold and green on a white-sky day. Damp and cold.

I'm fond of redbud. Enjoy the azaleas.

Thanks for the description. I almost forgot what spring can be. There are some blossoms on some (few) plants here, but mostly we're just green all the time. I don't miss the pollen and the sneezing, though.

There were reports of flocks of birds caught in Uncle Milty's Eye-of-the-Storm. Winds reached 180 mph. Small storm, but it won't be when it hits Florida.

Should be okay in Gainesville but one never knows. Now if Ron would just take Kamala's calls...

If you have water and food you'll survive to tell us all about the Big

Blow.

Hi Connie. I was clicking on bloggers and yours popped up. Getting snail mail is so rare nowadays. It is neat you are with a group that sends cards. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Take care!

Medicare may get more expensive and provide less if the new House gets its way.

My wife uses CVS mail order or some company that belongs to CVS that does their mail order.

I loved penmanship once I got good at it. I still write like that 10 year old who spent a summer practicing. I can do calligraphy if I'm given room to improvise.

I had a banana for breakfast... along with my coffee.

Medicare is NOT free

and doesn't cover everything.
