15 years ago we were attacked…please take a moment in your busy day and pause and remember those who died that day….I had written a post that included a couple of conspiracy theories about the attacks…..but after careful consideration I decided to trash it…..I will not help feed the bullshit.
The thousands that died that day deserve a few moments of silence in their honor…….
Once again the weekend has arrived and I look forward to a little relaxation and possibly a little fun with my granddaughter…..
CRS? Yep….Can’t Remeber Sh*t! An affliction of us old farts.
We also suffer from Mental Pause and Brain Farts……
Some think that forgetting is a bad thing…especially if you are a bit aged…..but is it really?
Stop trying to improve your memory. You don’t need to remember everything.
We are obsessed with remembering. We keep to-do lists, make photo albums, and furiously record the details of our lives on Facebook and Instagram, all with the purpose of savoring every little memory for fear of letting one slip. This fear, while irrational, is understandable given our circumstances. The reality that five million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease has made us hyper-aware of memory loss — and a steady stream of studies and articles are ready to appeal to our anxieties. They tell us that seemingly random things can fortify our memories: Eat more berries! Down that chocolate. Get more caffeine in your diet. Add cinnamon to everything! Exercise. Lift weights and run barefoot. Get hearing aids. Lose weight. Play video games.
But, alongside the studies telling us how to keep our memories intact, an enormous body of research has led to another conclusion: In many cases, it’s okay (and in fact, beneficial) to forget. Human memory is not only unreliable, but often partially or wholly false. And certain kinds of forgetting is actually really good for us.

It is good news to us old farts…..whether anyone else cares is up to them….but using all my capabilities…..I cannot for the life of remember why I should care.
Peace out and enjoy your weekend…..
I’m older than you… old fart….& my memory is excellent…..must be the wine… 😉
Mine too…..but I credit my constant use for its good health…..
Reblogged this on saywhatumean2say and commented:
Memories…..
Mmm Mmm
Memories, light the corners of my mind
Misty water color memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we? Could we?
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
what’s too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were.
TY for the re-blog and have a relaxing Sunday…chuq
