Awhile back I confessed to the fact that I had found some evidence of me getting older, which I quickly took care of. Unfortunately, that evidence not only resurfaced, it multiplied. Again, I covered it up. But now I have realized there is more evidence lurking.......I believe I am slowly loosing my memory. I can never remember anything!!! I forget piano books, (sorry Kayla) I forget to turn the oven off, I forget that I already asked a question (which REALLY gets to Nate), I forget where I put things. I forget, I forget, I forget. Either I am just tired or I really am getting old. Hopefully the first of the two......
Today was a beautiful day and I took the three boys (Trentan and the two boys I babysit) to the park this afternoon. Because the snow was melting, the slides were a little bit more speedy. The boys would chute down those slides so fast, land on their butts and do it again and again. Oh it was fun to watch. Getting fresh air and sunshine sure made my day! Funny thing happened today, the one boy I babysit has decided that he is in love with me and that we will get married when he grows up. He also says I smell like marshmallows (it's actually this yummy smelling lotion that Kayla got me for Christmas called Vanilla Bean) which I thought was cute. Weird? but cute.
FYI forgetting things...or EVERYTHING for that matter, is not just a sign of ageing. More often it is a sign of brain overstimulation also known as STRESS. One must not expect the brain neurons to fire prior to them having had time to reload. I read this in a book by a prominent psychiatrist named Dr. Boney in her book "Desserts are the Reverse of Stressed".
