Reminders

As I get older like all of us do forgetting things seems to happen more often. The technology we have it is easier to set reminders on the computer or cell phones these days.

I know some people make grocery lists on their cell phones while others do it the old fashion way on paper. Usually, I don’t make a grocery list at all which sometimes does get me in trouble where I have to return to the grocery store to pick up what I forgot. I suppose it is time that I do like everyone else.

I do have reminders for appointments though. Some of the appointments I put on my calendar on the phone but I do sort of the old fashion way as well. Actually what I have is a calendar on the front door where I enter the appointments. Most of the time I don’t even look at the calendar because I do remember most of the time however it is certainly a good place to have a reminder if necessary.

My dad had a good memory where he never wrote anything down. As I recall even in his older years he had no problem. Of course, he could have had mom remind him as well but I don’t think so. He probably was the one to remind her.

So it is likely a good idea to enter reminders in whatever way you can. Setting an alert for appointments and grocery list is a good idea. This is especially true since we seem to get busier as time goes by. While you are making a list remember to write down your gifts and talents to help others out as well. Amen!
