Easy Peasy–NOT! — 17 Comments

  1. I often remind myself with a gentle prayer, eyes upwards with a chuckle reminding myself to try and do better the next time 😉
    That IS life! Thanks Karen!!

  2. Thanks for this story Karen. It’s hard to navigate all those cards and numbers. Next time I’ll remember Lil and not be so hard on myself. That’s why I like gardening. I’d rather sit on the ground in the warm sunshine and pull weeds and plant new flowers and enjoy God‘s creation.

  3. This cute story reminds me that life just seems more complicated these days. Can anyone identify with me–or is is just ME?!!

    Love and hugs to you, Karen.

    • Life seems easier and more complicated because of developing technology, for sure. Can’t live with it sometimes and can’t live without it now that we have it!! Thanks, Glenda. Hugs to you too.

  4. Nothing like being embarrassed by having something in your hand and wondering where it is?? Smile! No, I don’t think I have ever done that but I have wondered where ‘something’ is and then remember I just put it away! This too will pass!
    Love to you as always and thanks for another good ‘read’!

  5. I kept trying to take cash out of the ATM in Mexico with my credit card … wouldn’t work. So I know the feeling, and the frustration until you realize what you’ve done! Bless you for sharing this incident.

  6. Oh my – me in almost every incident. Then I feel frustrated and a bit mad. All the technology that is supposed to make life easier is debatable. Hee
    Thank you Karen – so good to know I am not alone.

  7. How about looking for earrings you already have put on? Oh, yes many of us can relate to that story. Good to keep a sense of humor in our “old age” 🙂

  8. My daughter, a nurse, claims that significant cognitive decline is not part of aging! I’m not sure if I’m doing these forgetful things because of age (57) or stress and worry. It usually gets really bad with increased stress. One of my favourite tricks is to set a coffee or my purse on the hood of the car when I have my hands full and I’m opening the car…then I drive away with the cup on the hood—and my husband finds it down the street when he comes home and knows…it’s been that kind of morning…LOL! Interesting observation: when I babysit my 9 year old granddaughter I do less of these forgetful things- I think because I’m present in the moment…Food for thought!
