Fear is a feeling that has been my companion for a long long time, along with worry. I come from a long line of worriers and anxious folk. This is just one conversation I had with myself just the other morning. Today I can just laugh about it. I think this is a common scene among Baby Boomers.
Oh gosh, I think to myself as I'm gripping the wheel at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock on my drive into school. I've got to write that Thank-You note. Wait. Did I write that note and give it him already? Or... did I just think about it? Nah, I wrote it and gave it to him. I think. Wait. What would the parents think if they received two thank-you's? They'd understand. They're busy people. No, I can't let anyone know. Sometimes, I think...it's hard. I'm losing my memory. I worry about early onset, you know. I used to be able to remember everything. Things are just a little fuzzy.

This sounds so familiar! I have similar conversations with myself. I'm glad to know I'm not alone!

one thing at a time, one thing at a time. do one thing really well, and then move to the next. maybe it'll make your next Slice of Life "sharper" :)

I hate it when that happens. You are not alone. Awesome picture! I love the fog rising over the water.
I use Evernote and GTasks to help me keep things straight. I find that if I don't write everything down I forget so much.
I think like that all the time and I'm 32! :)

Yep, common.
