Thinking about forgetfulness as it applies
to me. Forever and a day, we've all heard
the elder forgetting jokes and can't help
but wonder if that's us waiting to happen.
I just took out the trash and can't remember
if I brought back my guy's trash can! Go
figure! Sometimes, I eat two breakfasts, fun!
And, I've been known to answer the same
e-mail twice or comment a couple of times
on the same post.
So, I've been having a think . . . Is it that I'm
truly forgetful, or is it that I don't pay attention
to business? Maybe, my mind doesn't consider
whatever to be important and dismisses it.
Perhaps, I'm acting by rote and am pondering
some things I consider to be important and am
distracted. It may even be, d) all of the above.
Bottom line, I'm coming to the conclusion
that we humans show all of the above traits
at all ages and we don't particularly pay
attention to this until we're oldsters.
I'm beginning to think forgetfulness is fairly
unimportant, so I'm going to treat myself to
second breakfast with Tolkien as my guest.
