Have you ever had such a day where every thought was crisp and clear, and then in a few hours you couldn’t remember your best friends name. My friend, you have experienced chronic illness at it’s best. My apologies. Since a child, I ve always loved to read and write creative tales. When my clarity started to disappear it seemed as if my vocabulary had shrunk to a few words. It’s so embarrassing when in the middle of a conversation, you can’t finish your thought. While I’ve found no ways to rid myself of this, I’ve found the playing if games that excercise the mind is quite helpful. Word fund, cross word, object finds…they are all good for exercising the brain muscle and putting a stamp on the memory. There are times I can remember clearly something that happened in my childhood and other times, I can’t remember what happened yesterday. Cherish all the beautiful things you can remember and work hard to keep them from fading away…
