I find it helpful although pretty mundane. It does help me slow down, though, and I find it easier to assimilate the teachings after several days of intense meditation.David Hilfikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326192810492814543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426202096598051070.post-87774878354749559442016-02-12T13:37:17.807-05:002016-02-12T13:37:17.807-05:00This is really inspirational - thanks for the upda...This is really inspirational - thanks for the update. I think you have uncovered much more than is obvious to people right now about the vagaries of diagnosis and our ability to heal ourselves with the right support and stimuli. Please do send more news when you can.

While I'm certainly happy to be cognitively stable, I do miss the opportunity to share with you all about something so important.

Praise the Lord for your stability. I find as I am getting older, (73) in a few days, that I have a harder time with names, etc. A lot of this is just normal aging, at least I hope so. I read a lot, watch tv, try to do some Sudoku puzzles, and for the most part, feel like I'm doing okay. My Dr doesn't think there is anything wrong!
