Having a bad memory isn’t good at all. It wrecks havoc with your life and makes you feel like a total dweeb. You forget where you put things, what you need to do that day, or sometimes even where you were going!

Personally, a bad memory messes with my writing in unfortunate ways. I will know there is the perfect word, I know the meaning and that it will fit into the sentence I’m doing exactly right. The word will be on the tip of my tongue, but I just can’t think of it! I’ll end up using a totally different word in the end.

Another problem I have is remembering all the grammar rules. I can’t keep them all straight so I end up making mistakes. Cheat sheets are my friend!

I was trying to think of a way to put a positive light on having a bad memory. Last night it hit me. My husband and I were watching a movie. It’s one we own that I’ve seen before. I know the basic story, but there were quite a few things I didn’t remember at all. Sure did make watching the movie again more fun!

So how bout that? Something good for all of us folks with bad memories. We can watch the same movie repeatedly and it’s always exciting.
