Huh?


I LOVED the game Memory as a kid. I was kinda a MEMORY rockstar. When it came to tests, my memory served me well. I could just listen and take notes in class and I was ready for an exam. My mind would take little pictures of the page and then when the test came i would see the page in my minds eye and the answers just flow out. BUT when it comes to daily life, that's a different story. I sometimes wonder if I am showing the early signs of dementia...

I hear post-menopausal women saying, "Oh just wait, someday you will walk into a room and forget why you were there..." Someday? How about right now? I did that yesterday! More often than not, its my cell phone that I am asking WHERE IS THAT DANG THANG! Adam has to call it atleast 4 times a week. I hear my MmmBop ringtone and realize its somewhere I don't remember being! I had it in my hand, and then it was POOF! gone... and I have no recollection of placing it anywhere, or even having it my hand at all. Or many times its my grocery list that always seems to elude my best intentions to drag it into the grocery store. Let's just say I have my fair share of "senior moments" at the ripe old age of 24!

After memorizing almost 50 pages of script for my job, I started wondering why my memory seemed so good and so bad all at once. So I wiki'd MEMORY. What I found was a battery of theories with little cold hard facts. It made me think..err remember....what an amazing God I serve. He made me, and you, with a mind capable of memories. Memories of significance, insignificance, and even 50 pages of script. All scientists and psychologists can do is hypothesize.

I don't know why my memory seems to turn off and turn on. What I do know is that God intricately created me. Knit me together in my mother's womb. He knows my thoughts and my inner most parts. I'm glad He knows...because sometimes I have no idea!

Hi! it is so awesome I ran across your page and saw that you're a Christ follower... I figure I would comment all that I know about memory and what can be done for it sense I am only 20 and had major life traumas that made me stop and learn all about health as much as God would teach me. I stopped wearing perfume, I think that has a lot to do with it. Aluminum is a cause for Alzheimer and it is in deodorant so if you can find a good aluminum free deodorant it will protect your memory in the long run. I avoid heavy chemical smells like dish soap I try not to over use while I'm doing dishes, as well as shampoo and conditioner. If I don't have natural ones I am sure to stick my head out of the shower for some fresh air while I wash my hair. stuff like that.. should protect your brain. Also look into a few herbs and "antioxidant super foods" ginkgo balboa is good for memory and alertness, good fats but not too much of them- good for a lot of stuff! :] I also thought I was hearing things and heard "chew a rosemary twig" later found it must be God because the stuff protects the brain from free radical damage and I had been in a mold exposure at the time and my entire memory of a 6 year relationship was erased. we broke up and I can hardly remember anything about it. remember I am 20. do all that you can to protect the temple. This is from God to all of us :] Be blessed in Jesus name!
