I'm not great with time management therefore, sometimes it takes me a little longer to reach my goals, which is the most important thing to me. I do try to set attainable ones for myself. I am so sorry to learn about your horrific accident years ago. And then years later, to get your diagnosis of MS! I admire your strength! I so look forward to reading your posts. I love learning about new things which you seem to always write about. I am anxious to check out Cranium Crunches. Life over fifty is very interesting! Hope this reaches you well! Thank you!
xo Janet
p.s. I'm currently re-reading " To Kill a Mockingbird "

I just followed you on Periscope too! I'll be sure to look for your scopes!

Good for you for doing absolutely everything you possibly can to keep your body and your brain as healthy as possible. I find everything about our brains to be fascinating and read about it as much as possible. I've also followed Ruth's blog and work because she writes about all sorts of interesting and related things. I tend to think that all of us bloggers have an advantage because we are constantly learning new things and challenging ourselves to work our websites. After two weeks of website "issues" I feel like my brain is "sore" from a HUGE workout! Let's all keep learning and growing! ~Kathy

I'm pretty sure I never suffered a TBI, but I've certainly noticed a decline in my memory---my recent memory. I can remember things from 40 years ago, but where I put my cell phone---not so much. One change is that it's more difficult to remember things that happened while I was distracted thinking about something else. I've come up with coping techniques (if I didn't write it down it didn't happen), but it's still quite irksome. Unless everyone I know who is my age has Alzheimers, I'm not alone. I will definitely try out Cranium Crunchers and I'm keeping my brain engaged by learning a new skill (blogging) and a new creative outlet (Zentangle). I'd like to add learning a new foreign language to that list. I think there is also evidence that aerobic exercise nourishes our aging brains.

I try to do all the activities you mentioned every day and I hope they will keep my brain healthy as I age. I think everyone should read Ruth's book!

I've had 2 concussions in my adult life and never considered they could have anything to do with not remembering what I had for dinner last night, among other things. I am a voracious reader and scrabble is a staple for me online. I used to do the crossword every day, but after we moved I let it slip. I'll have to get back to it.
Thank you so much for valuable information!

Until I read Ruth's book, I didn't realize it. My girlfriend with chemo brain uses her exercises and so do I. I do them on dog walks and in bed, too.

For six years he fluctuated between being a vegetable and a maniac. Although he suffers with physical disabilities, he has regained complete brain function including memory. This was a result of taking food supplements that feed the brain and help to rebuild damaged cells. For this, I am eternally grateful.

I'll learn to cook if you learn to do something else, eh? 🙂

I am sure there is one for you that won't be overwhelming. If not find something else that you like!

Plus every time they traveled they learned a new language before leaving. I am trying to take their lead.

How wonderful that you are living in Italy. I loved it there and hope to go back someday.
