Mental Acuity...

  

There is a unwelcome phenomenon happening to me lately. In the middle of a spoken sentence where I am certain of the idea I want to express, my mind hits a bump and the exact word I intend to use does not come. I have to pause and search my memory banks, fishing for that particular word. It either comes to me or I have to settle for an adequate synonym. Many times I'll have to produce another sentence just to make the same point and it is usually not as effective.

I realize in the grand scheme of things, this is not a major problem for the world, it is more a minor inconvenience for me but still.... it pisses me off! 

It suggests my mental acuity may be in decline. 

To stave off further deterioration I commit to keep expressing myself on these blogs in order to document my communicative skill level. For those readers who may consider this "weird," these future entries will become either incontrovertible evidence of, or at least mitigating factors in, my rapid descent into inevitable madness.




It's like my new hobby!
