My Memory / myLot

I must admit I worry about Alzheimers and memory loss. My paternal grandmother , I believe, had this and so it scares me. I am 73 and going to turn 74 in a little over 3 months. I have a terrible memory. But I am finding through my research on the subject that no one has a perfect memory. That actually writing things down does help. And, being organized helped too. I do both of these so that is a point in the right direction.. Word games and keeping the mind busy and active is important also. I keep working at it. How is your memory? Do you do things to help it?

It's weird. If feel like conscious mind hasn't changed much over the years. It's my body that has

@celticeagle Yes our bodies have changed that's right, but in mind we are young.

I read all the time and love playing different solitaire games. That keeps a brain active and the more active you keep your brain, the less likely you are to develop mental problems as you age.

I do word puzzles and watch trivia on the Game Show Network. I try to see how much I know and don't know. The 1% Club is good for that too. I have trouble remembering words for common items; and this concerns me.

I do too sometimes. Concerns me too. We have to keep working our grey matter or we will lose use of it.
