I Forgot

December 3, 2017 By Nancy Casey

Today you will write down some of the many things you have forgotten. Some things are probably forgotten for good, like the names of every single one of your parents’ friends and the type of coat each one wore in the winter time. Sometimes temporary forgetting can lead to permanent remembering. Do you have an odd fact stuck in your brain forever because you forgot it on … [Read more...] about I Forgot

It was issued to you at the start, and it’s yours throughout.  So many heartbeats.  So many breaths.  So many steps taken and meals digested. Your body grows, changes and ages.  When it gets ill or injured, you call yourself “sick” or “hurt.” When it … [Read more...] about Such a Useful Body
