Holding onto our mental health is not just taking interventions to keep depression at bay. As we get older, we worry about dementia.
Forgetfulness sparks fear. Intervening for cognitive health seems like a good idea.
I blog to keep my mind going. I do puzzles, albeit the Easy Sudoku and a mini crossword are my max. speed.
Then I worry a little deeper. The more visible sufferers from dementia are/ were actors. Actors use memory and creativity in their craft; it’s a huge component of who and how they are.
What chance have the rest of us?
Well, I think chance is just the ticket to the preservation or loss of our mental acuity.
By chance, Burt is afflicted. By chance, I am not.
Doesn’t mean I’ll stop challenging myself to try to stay sharp. It does mean I will treasure what health I can preserve.
this is our life
