"A mind is a terrible thing to lose"!
|
"A mind is a terrible thing to lose"! In life we love and live. We try to enjoy it to the fullest and create cherish-able memories along the way. Life is great! But life is non-stop and everyday we get older. Before we know it another year has passed us by, and eventually our health gives out and we might have health problems. I have arthritics, and I got it in my mid 30s and as I get older it get worst. One of my closest friends growing up, lost both of his legs in his 30s. But he still had his mind! As long as you have your mind, you still can have a good spirit. We all would love to keep a sound mind and a healthy body. But some of us wasn't dealt a winning hand. Some of us would have health problems. growing up ,my dad was one of the smartest person I known. Sharp as a tack,but in his latter years, he got dementia. It was a shock to see him in that state of mind. Everyday he would have an accident on himself and his memory was gradually fading away. My friend who lost both of his legs, remained in good spirit, and there was times when he laughed, and he once in a while cried, but overall he had a positive attitude. Whether sad or happy, he still had his mind, and was able to cherish memories he had. Ten year later he died. He was remembered for his laughter. We might lost our health, but as long as we have our mind, we still can enjoy life. It was sad to see what my dad was going through everyday, it was hard on my mom and sister. Dementia, I heard it can he hereditary. It's in my genes, who know if I'm going to inherit it? Several months back, Oct of 2016, another friend of mines, was 75, he got dementia. He was wondering around town lost. Someone contact his in Arizona, she came to NM to get him, and put him in the Va hospital there in Arizona.I knew people that said, they cried to see him that way. I cried too! I recently decided to challenged my mind. I need to read more, do something new once in a while. I was even think about going back to school and take classes. Again, we want to be healthy, but I rather be in bad health and have my mind, than be in great shape without it To everyone out there, put that brain to use, because if we don't we might lose it! Because our mind is the greatest gift god gave us! Without it we have nothing, we can lose anything in the world, but except our minds! Because "A mind is a terrible thing to lose"! Brain teasing riddles: What is wiser, than life itself, longer than forever. so simple it's complicated, Travels but never leaves a spot, Put others in danger, but no one gets hurt. And reaches to worlds unknown. What am I???? ans: your imagination.           |
