Memories...pressed against the pages of my mind

Our generation, that's the Baby Boomer generation, is coming of age again.  They wrote about us in the 60's...and, yes, we created a revolution.  In the 70's-80's, we were responsible for a boom in housing, as we came of age again and began raising families.  So, it is nothing new that we will usher in another age, but we are reluctant this time.  Memories are precious.  They connect me with my youth, my past, my hometown, my departed grandparents, my old friends.  I do not want to be a shell of a person. 


At our age, we have each had some experience with memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer's...a grandparent, parent, maybe a classmate.  All too close for comfort.  Is it inevitable for me?

No!  But know the signs, the signals, the measures to employ now to continue productivity as long as the body is warm.

Must I accept that memory loss is a given?
