Last day here before my week off. Some may wonder why I need a week off - I do myself sometimes. But, the fact is, a change of scenery does wonders for my psyche! The stimulation of seeing new places and faces stirs my imagination and lights my fires. And, especially the ocean sounds and movements are inspiring, calming, and exciting - all at the same time. My imagination takes off in such an environment. So, I will write, of course. In addition, getting away from home responsibilities, is a relief - even for me with arguably the least home responsibilities of anyone I know! I work hard to keep it that way. There are so many other delightful things to do and think about--like imagining. Imagining (daydreaming, some might call it) is one of my favorite pastimes. I spend a lot of time dreaming up new projects, trying on new ideas, giving up old used-up, outgrown ideas, and just settling into who and where and what I am at the moment. There's a lot to be said for living "in the present moment." And a lot has already been said about it and written about it. ------ Grandchildren help one remember the joy of imagining. Check out the photo of my Christmas tree decorations for this year. There are 5 new ones the children made Thanksgiving while here. Compare this tree with the one at yesterday's post to find them.
