I've been doing crosswords for the same reason and am still doing it even though research is saying it doesn't help. Genetics is against me so it's scary.

I have to say though that the walking is good not only for the brain, but your heart, muscles, prevention of osteoporosis, etc so I think you are covered there.<br /><br />loved all the quotes too :)<br /><br />I find as I'm aging (gracefully I hope) that I need to write down more things I want to remember, like grocery lists. Way too often I've come home forgetting the very thing I went to the store for :)<br /><br />enjoy the weekend<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-66253965919301423712010-10-15T16:23:29.896-06:002010-10-15T16:23:29.896-06:00This entire post made me smile.

I tell her there are some things that I just don't WANT to remember (I really don't like blueberries anyway).

I guess there´s some good in being forgetful too. :)<br />But I did those crosswords for the same reason. I like what Nezzy says. I agree.

She said our brains were like file cabinets, the older we got the more info we had stuffed into the 'memory files' thus makin' it more difficult to find the needed file. Therefore we can't remember 'cause we are just too darn smart! Heeehehehehe<br /><br />I heard that report but I don't necessarily agree with it. Our brains are capable of forming new connections if we change things up and stretch 'em. We need to do things differently just the shake thing up a bit and challenge ourselves with 'new' things. That means a variety of stuff. We can't always just do crossword puzzles or just word searches. Variety baby...It'll keep our brains a'hoppin'!<br /><br />Ya'll have a magnificent weekend and go do something you've never done before!!! :o)Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-77585848267001591072010-10-15T07:36:14.680-06:002010-10-15T07:36:14.680-06:00It's amazing how something so true can be phra...It's amazing how something so true can be phrased in such a way as to be so funny...Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414361079501574872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-87022587631761401442010-10-15T06:48:44.784-06:002010-10-15T06:48:44.784-06:00I chuckled at all those quotes, because they are s...I chuckled at all those quotes, because they are so based in fact! I've always had a memory that the family has joked about for decades, but sometimes it's really not so funny. When I left my favorite job, working at a vet's office, to move here near the grandkids, I asked the vet if he had anything he wanted to say about my time there, and he said "if we hadn't loved you so much, and if you hadn't worked so hard, I'd have had to fire you in the beginning because of your memory". And he wasn't kidding or being rude, just stating a fact.Wander to the Waysidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056931538024315352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-24793894510371492122010-10-15T06:12:38.077-06:002010-10-15T06:12:38.077-06:00LOL great Friday post Jeanie...LOL great Friday post Jeanie...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.com
