When I have an idea for a blog
When I have an idea for a blog, I have to start writing it down that very second, or the idea flies away. That is what happened this morning (Sunday.) The idea flew away.
A fabulous topic popped into my head. But on my way way here to the page where I write down the blog, I posted a comment on Jack's comment about books, and then, when I did get back to the blog-writing page, the idea had flown away. What was it?
Does that ever happen to you?
Will this idea come back? Will it ever come back?
This is like going to the refrigerator wanting something, and then, when you open the fridge door, you can't remember what it is you went there for.
What was that topic that popped into my head and just as quickly popped out?

This happens to me all of the time, Gloria.
Is it because our thoughts flit around so much that unless it is very important, we move on to something else? And then it is replaced by a different thought, and that one is no where to be found.
This is short term memory. My long term seems fine, although I do seem to have the ability to leave something and move on. And then if years later it does come up, I wonder where it was.
I would love to hear what others have to say about this.
On another note - I do have a lilac tree! A pair of robins have nested in it. Our season here is so late that the tiny buds are just beginning to form.
I have carried a notebook and pen in my shirt pocket for a very long time and refer to this as my brains. If I don't stop what I'm doing and immediately write something down, it's probably gone. How many thoughts have been lost to "I'll just take a minute to finish this . . . ."
If I'm wearing my pajamas or something else with no pocket to keep my brains in and I have to walk more than ten feet to get to a notebook, I'd better repeat my thought out loud all the way there. Sometimes going back to where I was when the thought hit will bring it back but increasingly it doesn't work. What was it you asked?
It is all Jacks fault that Gloria forgot Sorry Gloria. I have those moments regularly But at my age I am forgiven I forgive myself many times each day.What ever I forget can not be that important,As I still live in Love and Joy Much love to all, keep smiling anf send that light as far as you all can.
