How I got my Mojo Back

 


Yesterday's Prior Post told you I quit posting because my MoJo was dead.  While browsing Facebook, I saw the above quote and decided to PLAY with it in PicMonkey. .

I kept repeating to myself, there is no song in my heart but I need to Sing Anyway. 

Singing is for me, my blog posting.


I wanted the quote on the header, and I published this one and left it for the day because even though I did not like it, it was the 3rd one I did not like.

this poem came in my email, from blog friend Myra. I am now following the author of the poem on Facebook.

Just decide to love the heck out of your life and if you truly can't then you simply 
must make it more loveable.
Change things around.
Move things out add things in.
It's your life you can do that.
If you really truly cannot change things around 
change the way you see things change your view on the things in your life.
Do whatever you need to do to get any kind of joy every day.
And start now right this minute.
The future is promised to no one what are you waiting for?
This is it my friend this is it.

I decided to look at my blog and change things around, add things, remove things.
Do something new, every day or twice a week or once a month.
 I remembered the recent discovery of
Windows 11, EDGE browser, far right, the icon that says Image Creator. 
this is new and uses AI to create pictures from the words we feed it.
I love technology and pictures.

Image Creator says give me a prompt. 
I typed "watermelon on beach surrealist". 
I go four watermelons on a beach.
they made me feel happy.


 

I continued to type prompts, then found places where they showed suggestions of the kind of words to type and said use a few, put a coma between words for subject and add the type art you want surrealist, geometric, etc. to do different styles

I typed "oranges, bowl, bright and vibrant, geometric."
and got this


The next time I surfaced I had made this header using Pic monkey and the photo above.

this is not THE Header but will stay for a few days. 
My mojo kicked in and I have created so many and each one I like better because I get better at descriptions.
 DON"T FRET! sooner rather than later you will see them ALL. 
NOTE! if you play, we only get 100 free words of description, then we have to buy more. I did not know that and have now used half my free words.
Thank you, Microsoft, for sending me the notification to try Creative Image. 
 I am back online both literally and figuratively.
TO BE CONTINUED....

Hurrah for you for really taking this to heart!!! I do not have that icon on top saying Image Creator. You created some really cool things and I can't wait to see them all. The poem is so good, and it is right. We need change and new things so we do not get stale! I really like the sky in the watermelon pics.

how great that your mojo is back... I sing a good morning song to the pups every morning... the man is very unhappy about that, but if I have to leave the bed to feed the lions, he can be awake too LOL

This is so good for all of us to ponder! I always say, if you're not happy, figure out why and change it. It's not easy for the big things but we can do all kinds of small changes to make life more fun. You are an inspiration my friend! I love it!

Hello Sandra :=)
Hurrah we got you back, and with your usual Mojo! I like the images and the poem, I'm glad it gave you the inspiration to try something new.

Thanks for the shout-out; I'm so glad you like her, too!
I don't need a radio or an Alexa play-list because my mind is a strange thing -- I can be brushing my teeth or making the bed and all of a sudden, random songs from 60-70 years ago pop in my head. What to do but sing along?

PS - I'm going to check out this AI image creator today! It probably won't make it to my blog, but I need something FUN.

Yay for your Mojo returning. Love how you are using AI.
That word for the day from Laura Ashworth is Spot On for all of us.
Taking control of ourselves is the best.
I too need my JOY back.

Welcome back! That's a good quote. Actually I have found myself singing a lot lately. Love the poem, it is excellent. Enjoyed your watermelon photos.

Brian's Home Blog said...

I sure am glad that Moe and Joe showed up and got to work. That's a grand quote and we'll sing too, but not with A.I., nope, ain't touching it.
