Stretch Your Mind



One alarming thing I've noticed during my fiftieth year:  my brain is working slower.  Sometimes I have difficulty retrieving the correct word or name or phrase.  (The technical nae of this 'anomia' and it is most annoying).

Under the circumstances.  I'm thinking that this is a great time to give some attention to my mental acuity by doing things like:

* learning something new -- online, in classes or workshops or by other means

* reading

* doing puzzles of all sorts

* playing word or logic games

I know I'm not alone.  Luisa spent part of her fiftieth year learning Italian.  Abby digs doing crossword puzzles.  Chad enjoys taking philosophy courses online.  Jean-Guy is a sucker for Sudoku.

What about you?  How do you keep your mind sharp? Message me or leave a comment below.
