"When you get older, you may find it harder to remember," I thought as I forgot why I went into the kitchen. "What was I thinking?"
I woke up in the middle of a dream about helping an older woman walk home from the mall. Rarely do I remember a dream, so hold that thought -- she was so appreciative.
Found my Memory Magic kit in storage last week. (Got it with a seminar I attended around 1976. Still remember and use some of what I learned.) Mnemonic devices or aids work well for this old man, who needs memory help more than ever. (Can't believe I remembered how to spell it. Of course I looked it up to be sure.)
Fortunately, I remember our wedding anniversary (date engraved on my ring) -- it's a good thing! No need to look it up ... yet.
