De-rusting your brain
I’m following some fun Tweeters on Twitter. One is Moontree Letterpress. Lovely designs for letterpress aficionados as well as a weekly Monday contest for those who love to word sculpt. I’m a contest & a word junkie so this fun letterpress blog awards me a double high for participation. There’s also a letterpress prize if you want something concrete for your guessing efforts.
Contests get my mind moving in a direction it might not normally move. They keep me thinking outside the box that’s outside the box. Nothing worse than a rusty brain. I know the Tin Man of Wizard of Oz fame used his rusty body as an excuse for not participating in life, but it seems more likely that rusty brains keep us from doing so.
Patrolling the malls and watching reality shows puts my brain to sleep, which is why I try to avoid both of them. I used to get to the end of a mall or a show and say, “why did I just waste my precious life doing this?”
What do you do to keep your brain from rusting?

I agree with you! We need to use our brains. I love word games, challenges. I will definitely look this up! Thanks for sharing the site.
You’ll enjoy it Bev! A new contest every week.

I don’t watch much TV; I’d rather keep my brain from rusting by reading, writing, and trying to solve problems, in my garden and in my life.
I found myself in a mall at one point last week. Not only did I waste time, but some money as well!
A friend once said that TV sucks the energy out of your body. I agree! Like that your trying to solve problems. If we’d all come out from behind our TV sets and start talking, we might solve some worldwide problems. As always …
Muse thx,
