Forgetfulness

Not exactly a wonderful word when first thought of.  After all at my age I prefer to think I remember everything or at least everything that needs to be remembered.  Yesterday I thought of a wonderful word to use for today.  But I didn’t write down.  So at this point all I remember is that the idea was wonderful just not what the wonderful word was.  Pooh!  But then I thought you know sometimes forgetfulness comes in pretty handy.  When the children were younger and they insisted they told me something, I use to tell them I wasn’t ready to receive that information.  Just like yesterday’s word; I just wasn’t ready to remember that wonderful word.  Not all is lost, it will come to me sooner or later.  But in the meantime I am going to be happy that forgetfulness can at times be beneficial.  Because there are some things in life that need to be forgotten. 

The end!!
