Losing It

Many days pass. Today Mom called me and said "she doesn't want to lose her mind." What a sobering thought: Losing it. She works with a therapist to help her with cognitive issues. Simple things like word recognition, association, counting, memory. The things we all take for granted every day when we wake up and the wheels start to turn. We all seem to have days when it feels like we're losing it. It's a common phrase. Those bad days when everything is coming at us at full speed and our minds are on overload...and we forget a couple things, or misplace our keys, or just feel overwhelmed with life. And then, tomorrow comes.
