triplex

Hi.... hope this posts.....your post, Skittles, caught my attention.....(love the ca ndy, by the way!) I just wanted to say that my fogginess and memory deficits started gradually in my teens. Now, in my 40's, I am discovering that they are irreversible, and my life has changed dramatically.There are so many things I can no longer do...and even though this brain atrophy that I was born with could not have been stopped, its progression could have been prolonged---if I hadn't been too stubborn to take the time to notice. I think that I have learned alot. You see, God had to teach me this way. I am fortunate in alot of ways....because I have early Alzheimer's, I know to label everything, I know to create scrapbooks, I know that I should live for the moment, and cherish every day. In spite of everything that has been accomplished, one thing I hope to never forget.......something my mom said to me a long time ago...."Always do your best in life, not because what you DO is important, but because YOU ARE." In response to the crying post? Crying is a healthy outlet. Because we cry--we shed our tears and open up our hearts to God.
