I've noticed lately that I don't always get things right.My memory isn't as good as it used to be.My mother always praised me on what a good memory I had. I'm forever leaving little reminders for myself and now days when I think of something I need to do at home I do it right then!! For years I've b,ought calenders that have big numbered squares so I can,write the highlights of each day down,and I keep a journal as well however I don't write in the journal everyday.My hearing isn't as good as it used to be either.My Grandchildren get the giggles when I repeat back something they've told me and it's all cray cray.Ageing is very interesting.All the things that the medical profession tells us to do are true,but when were young we just believe we'll beat the odds.Things like:
1.Eat your veggies
2.Exercise
3.Stay out of the sun or wear sunscreen
4 Don't smoke
5 Women drink only 1 glass of wine in a day.
6 Floss your teeth
7.Keep a healthy weight
8.Exercise your brain
9.Eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast
10.Meditate
All this to say----My handsome,prince of a son-in-law celebrated his 40th birthday this year!!!!
My handsome,prince of a SON turned 45 this year!!!!
This amends my previous blog. I'm not really sure what the ages of the rest of the fa,ily are. Just kidding
