My brain still works. It just works slower than it used to. I will see someone I know, but the name does not come immediately to mind. I just have to try to relax. Wait for it……wait for it……ah! Yes, there it is! The name will pop into my head.
Sharon will give me a task. If I don’t do it right away, it will slip my mind. Hours later, I will remember it. Sometimes Sharon will have already done it by then. That never ends well.
Your mind is a machine. Just like any machine, it needs good care and exercise. Try to get enough rest, try to reduce stress and worry (easier said than done I know), and make that brain work a little each day. Read books, do crossword puzzles and word games, write letters, calculate a budget. Do something that makes you think, think, think!
You can’t expect your brain to function as sharply as when you were a young pup. But you can definitely keep it from turning into mush.
Amen, that’s sounds good, uh,what were we talking about, lol thanks Ken.
