Return Of Friends, Creativity And Memory

I’m recalling that a giant celebration involving many of my friends (including artist Denisea) is planned for the next day, but I don’t remember the time that people will arrive. I did not mark my calendar, and I did not keep a copy of the invitation I mailed out to all. I search my computer for the design file I created. I can’t find it using the initial search words. I change the words from “card” to “invitation” and the artwork shows up on my screen.

Not only is the design of the card pleasant, but I can also see beautiful, detailed sculptures I created to display the cards. I am able to view very old clay pieces from the beginning of my practice that are sadly imperfect. I observe my progress over the years from rough to satisfying.

It is a relief to know the party plans. A sense of joy to anticipate spending time with my friends.

Day notes:

I have plans to meet with friends Amy, Bean, Denisea and Michelle. I have felt isolated during covid, and after losing my job.

I joined a webinar about memory-loss (“New Strategies to Improve Memory, Protect Immunity & Fight Off Dementia”) by Marc Milstein, PhD. I have his book “The Age-Proof Brain.” It was a highly enlightening presentation. I am following just one tip and now my sleep has vastly improved. The connection between sleep loss and dementia frightened me. My memory has been slipping. My doctor is not concerned about it yet.
