Do you lose words in mid-sentence?

~ globalwhiz@protonmail.com

As I continue ageing, unwanted things appear daily. Sometimes it’s a different creak in an area that was working just fine the day before. Other times, it’s something like forgetting words, places, or events. It happens to me every day and is driving me crazy.

I can discuss anything with someone, from any topic to an activity or even what I’d like for dinner, and, like magic, my thoughts go away. It was as if the switch had gone off, and I had no control over it. It’s so bad that before I say anything, I announce to the person or group that I forget things, and I ask for their forgiveness.

Everyone is polite. I hate it. If I am in a meeting, I write down my comments beforehand and announce all my concerns. Wouldn’t you know that I am the communications chair for my church? Fortunately, in addition to writing things down, I have a spell-check app. So, I’ll up my posts on my blog; at least I am in control of that.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
