Memory Loss At The Speed Of Life

Have you ever noticed that the faster you go the shorter your memory? Or is that just me? I know that as the years grow higher in number the days seem to grow shorter, with much more to do than you have time for. And if you have children the challenge grows incrementally. Which means there is more to forget. And I do.

As with many people my days are crammed with childcare and daily activities. Things that are always getting sidetracked with the "little issues" that arise from having a large family. There are days when my head is so full of what I've got to do and what probably won't get done, that I forget to do some of the things I ought to do. I forget to enjoy life a moment at a time. I forget to smile because the bill collector is a person too. To write "thank you" on the memo line of a check. Or remembering what it is like to take breath. And I do.

I did find something that may help. It's a little book called "Getting Things Done for Dummies". Now if I could just remember to make the time to read it.
