A Senior Moment?

[Tuur]

Was out and about not all that late last night, and atmospheric conditions were such it was easy to see the glow of distant towns on the horizon. I started picking them out, recognizing the towns from where I was on the road, but then I came to one glow, I drew a blank. I could see the town in my mind, have been through it, but could not think of the name. That led to another community between the town and my location, a community that didn't have street lights and wouldn't have a glow on the horizon, and couldn't remember that one, either. It was really disconcerting.

After a few minutes I remembered the first town by going through my mind of the towns I could remember on that highway. The name of the other community, on a different highway, came up maybe less than a minute later. That was a relief, but it bothered me. Still does.

On the way back I noticed a glow on the horizon that at first I couldn't place, then realized it was a town distant enough I didn't know it would be visible, but I could easily recall the name of the town, so that was something different.

I have been using this for a little over month along with fish oil and blueberries.

I'm 63 and I've noticed that my age has caught up with me this year. What used to be easy physically has gotten harder and I find myself stopping to think about things that I never really thought much about before. For example, did I lock the front door before I left this morning? And there's the obligatory where did I put that? I cut my fingernails a couple of weeks ago but I can't find where I put the fingernail clippers. And I just know if I go out and buy a new set I'll find the original soon thereafter. But if I don't buy a new set I'll probably never find the original. Ugh...

Wife: You forgot to turn off the bedroom light.
Me: Oops....I'll get it.

(Repeat the above - possibly once or twice more)

Have you not noticed that the older we get the faster time flies? This is simply a matter of getting ahead of ourselves. Pause a moment or two and our thoughts will catch up.

Is that worse than being beside ourselves?

I have always had trouble remembering where i buried the marrow bones!!! Almost 60 now too!

Good point, but at least that way we walk hand in hand with an equal.

Is that like having a conversation with a sensible person when you talk to yourself?

Definitely not . An equal is wide ranging.

Of course! Silly me - I was having a senior moment!

Between senior moments and second childhood life is quite fun these days!

I was on the phone with my 92 yr old Dad and telling him that all week I keep misplacing my hat. He said oh yeah? Well I have been missing my wallet and keys all day and turned the house upside down. When we hung up later I said a little prayer for him. He sent me a text about 11:45 pm saying he had finally found them under the bed! Now how the heck did they end up there of all places? Ha!

Maybe dropped out of his pocket when getting changed? I find that Jesus is very good at finding things but I'm not so good at remembering to pray before I spend ages searching for whatever is lost.
