The Art of Forgetfulness

• 1 • 198

Ever found yourself rummaging through the fridge for your keys? Or perhaps you've donned a pair of mismatched socks, confidently striding into the world with an unintentional fashion statement? Welcome to the delightful world of forgetfulness that often accompanies getting older!

As we age, our brains, like vintage cars, need a bit more maintenance. You might start calling your grandchildren by the dog’s name or ask your partner the same question five times in a row. It’s all part of the fun!

Imagine the excitement of discovering where you left your glasses (on your head) or the thrill of realising you’ve put the remote in the dishwasher. It’s like living in your own personal mystery novel, where you are both the detective and the culprit.

To keep your brain ticking along, embrace these quirks with humour. Engage in mental gymnastics with puzzles, read books, and try to learn something new. If all else fails, laugh at the absurdity and share your forgetful moments with friends – they probably have their own stories to match!

So, here’s to the art of forgetfulness. Let’s face it, life is much more entertaining when you’re not entirely sure what you’ll forget next!
