Two words… Post its. They are invaluable and I like to give my lack of memory with different colours and sizes. It is what it is and the only thing we can do is go with it and modify our lives accordingly.

Sometimes I’ll look at a note I’ve written and think “WTF? What is that about?”

Oh, btw, before I forget again, you won the sunglasses giveaway. Send me your address so I can ship them to you, you lucky thing.

I bet our parents could top us in the list of the challenges and adaptations we went through from newborn to adult! It’s never-ending…as long as we’re breathing!

Gosh, this getting old thing presents so many challenges and adaptations. I use lists to help me, mostly with productivity and curbing what seems to be a mild case of ADD.
I guess the good thing is that we are all seeing and accepting our changes and finding ways to be successful?

I have notes and Post-Its everywhere. If I don’t write something down, chances are I won’t remember it. I think it has more to do with my brain constantly churning with new stuff. Or maybe I write things down out of laziness so I won’t have to remember. All I know is I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember… (no pun intended)

I suffer from the multiple notebook affliction as well. And if I’m looking through the box of old notebooks that I carry around with me from house to house, then I really get side-tracked. Still, I think this will only add to our charm–and laughter–as we travel the world, you in your tennis shoes and me in my cute ones.

Ah Jane, Well my brain is doing funny things. Unless I’m angry and on the phone being uncivil to some civil servant, I have no flo anymore. Words disappear and I use about ten words for the one I’m struggling to remember. I haven’t had an aneurysm but lists have become my friend for a long time. The trouble is– I have notebooks– many of them– and I can’t remember which notebook holds what list. And in my search–I get completely and hopelessly side-tracked. Amen to youth. Love you Laurie
