I am often comforted during difficult times to recall how small/far away/insignificant former hard times now seem. This too shall pass. A recent blog post on motivation suggested that when you are stuck on a project, you should remind yourself of a previous project you never thought you’d get through – and yet you did. Memory is a funny thing!

Oh my God. That must have been freaking scary. I admire your calmness…I would have burst into tears and gone hysterical!
I’m not very knowledgeable about the debates on vaccination, actually, so I’ll refrain from saying something stupid…tee hee.

Vaccines are such a hot topic sometimes! I’ve heard a lot of arguments both ways that sound good. I’m not worried about children yet, but I’m glad that I’ve had most of mine. The new ones like HPV, swine flu and so forth, I have avoided. I like drugs that have been on the market at least 10 years if possible. I like to let others be the guinea pigs! That said, if I were in a high risk group for either of those diseases, I would get the shot.

I know what you mean about forgetting! I can’t tell you the number of times a friend says to me, “Remember when XYZ happened? Remember that person?” I rarely do.

My short term memory (like seriously, what happened an hour ago?) has been going lately…. too much going on.

And as for vaccinations… I’ve gotten both the seasonal and swine flu vaccines, but I also have moderately severe asthma, and have been told that getting either one could put me in the hospital. So I am someone who has had the vaccines… but not the chicken pox, I got them the old fashioned way!

or remember the details of me almost getting kicked out of college Ha!

I cannot remember which teeth my children have lost. Has my oldest lost his molars? Ever? I just don’t know. I’ve had moments like you’re describing where I just can’t remember the details of important events. Weird.
