I've Been Thinking About ... .

They say that as one gets older, one should keep active and fit, both physically and mentally. I've written about the physical part.
As for the mental aspect, I don't think I have any problem with keeping my brain active. From the time I wake up--heck even in my sleep--I'm thinking. I can't seem to turn my brain off.
I think about what I'm going to do all day. What am I going to eat (take something out of the freezer)? Will I jog or box? What chores do I have?
And, as I'm doing whatever it is I'm doing, my brain is in high gear, regurgitating past events, or considering future events. Fortunately, I have few worries that engulf my thought processes. I'm not weighed down by family or money problems. Lucky me.
I am really blessed (not in a god sense, of course) that I don't have major problems to worry about. I have good health, a nice home, plenty of food, medical insurance, friends and family. Life is good.
Still, I think. Period. Living alone allows plenty of time to be silently cogitating. Subjects abound. Plus, I work a lot of mind enhancing puzzles in my spare time.
I'm writing this post on thinking because I woke up thinking about what I was going to write about! It's a vicious cycle. Sometimes, I'd like the merry-go-round to stop, however! I need a break!
Have a great day.

My whole life is one gigantic puzzle!

I am learning new software and new presentations. That keeps me stimulated.

Anything computer related leaves me frustrated and aggravated!

I try to do a crossword puzzle every day. It is supposed to help with memory or something. I forget what.

The subject really isn't that deep, my friend. I'm sure you think all the time.

I am fascinated by the brain's plasticity. We can and should keep learning new things. I am endlessly curious, and love learning and discovering!

The brain really is an amazing thing. Mark Twain, in writing his autobio, was frustrated with his inability/improbability/impossibility to record his every thought. Some people try.

I'm always thinking too but I don't need to be alone -- I can do it in the middle of chaos. It's rejuvenating.

Chaos? In your life? Can't imagine.

We study Italian. Maybe bone up on our German soon.

The trouble is, we're too old. By the time we learn anything, we'll be dead--useless, unless.......never mind.

Latin? You could become a lawyer or even take confessions! LOL.

A true and proven way to fend off mind-aging is to study and learn another language. With today's technology and especially Rosetta Stone, this is easier than in the past. (No, this is not a commercial for Rosetta Stone!)

I have thought (many times) to refresh my French. It's been since high school. Spanish, too, is a possibility. Even Latin!
