Senior Moment

11/30/12  This blog had a beginning and a verse from a song that had whirred around in my head.  I even attempted to scratch out the notes on a bedside pad. It was dark and only about 3 letters made the pad. I don't have a clue what they meant. That's why I had to originally post the date as the title----hoping I would soon retrieve those original thoughts. I never did. 
Why would a thought/idea that seemed so important just fade away?
It happens often lately with all those annoying little things like wondering what I came into a room for or where on earth I put my keys, when I try so hard to be diligent and keep up with them. But not this....not a writing idea that seemed to have some "substance to it. Frankly it un-nerved me so much that I tried to find solace in the scriptures.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; (Lamentations 3:22-23a)

My mind might not be totally gone but it's certainly on a downhill slide. So.....I need to focus on what is permanent----God's mercy and compassion and understanding because so much else  seems to be failing.
We all laugh at senior moments but sometimes they are NOT so funny.
