Opus 2025-205: Word Games

A familiar statement is, “In a world of the blind, the one eyed man is king.”  Another saying along those lines is, “I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet.”  The lesson of these sayings is gratitude for the blessings we do have.  I am sure you know people like that.  They could open lemonade stands.  

I don’t think that translates very well into, “In the world of dementia the man with a memory is king.”  I think about this issue more all the time because I see others getting more forgetful.  The key to all this is attitude.  I know that the click bait tells us they have a cure for dementia but I have not forgotten enough to believe it.  

We have a zoom group made up of old goats.  It is somewhat amusing the way we keep helping others find the right word or name.  It tends to go both ways and we accept it as part of life.  May your attitude always be one step ahead of your ability.
