Connie's Corner

by Connieboo!

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

In response to "Over and Done"

My passport picture ain't pretty. I just ignore it. As long as anyone looking at it doesn't scream, I'm good to go.

I'll need it when I travel to Thailand next month.

Lists... do I have lists? I should tackle whatever is doable today.

In response to "Nothing important"

My life history... my blog sometimes touches on that; but, the past is past. I have difficulty with the present at times.

I would go to PEI.... I read Anne of Green Gables as a youth.

In response to "Captain?"

Nice! Prince Edward Island? I have not heard of that place. I'm not sure where I want to visit. I love London. And Edinburgh was special.

In response to "She-crab soup, um um good!"

I still haven't gotten with idea that football season starts when it's in the 90's or that it lasts beyond Abe's and George's birthday.

Was in Chareleston SC last spring, supposedly the birthplace of shecrab soup. I'm more a barbeque guy myself.

In response to "I did it!"

Proper planning, even if two weeks, usually ensures success. Congratulations!

Start figuring out what you'll charge if any of the neighbors saw and want you to work some of their limbs.

I speak to children. They need to be seen and heard... imho.

In response to "A Change for the Better"

I remember those! As a kid, my parents signed up (I think that was the sixties). I remember the originals had a dark cover (reddish?) and the yearbooks were white. There's something about flipping pages and knowing how to use the index that was fun. They were still in my parents house in the ninties. Gone now, of course. So many books that we learned from, gone, too.
