HOW IS YOUR MEMORY?  

Can you remember a person’s name after you’ve just been introduced? 

Miss shopping items  when you go to the  store even when you have a list? Do you often forget the passcode to your phone or tablet?  Or frequently misplace keys and other items you use every day?

These are some of the   questions on a cognitive test given by renowned researcher Thomas Crook, Ph.D.  for dementia. 

If you're having  trouble thinking or "brain fog",  you  may need a helping hand from this brain nutrient - phosphatidyl serine!

Most of our readers know I am not one to make new year's resolutions. I believe you make your life one day at a time, one decision at a time. But the change of a calendar page is as good a starting point as any, whether it is to a new month or a new year.  Season to season. Winter holds secrets it tells only to spring, passing along a ritual of unfolding that marvels the eye. Bare, dark trees to a bloom of leaves. Will it be a promise of apples? Sweet cherry blossoms? Or simply a nest for a grateful family of birds and a haven for squirrels. Like nature, so too the human spirit goes through its season of change, perhaps from the dark to the light. From broken to healing. New growth beyond its present hibernation. Life's mystery lying just beneath the cold and the hidden.
