A friendly tip from your local crazy

Talk to yourself. Sometimes the homeless dude's you see on the street do it and you think, "crazy guy". Well, yes, perhaps, but it helps. Recently I have done a lot more out loud. Prayed out loud, organized out loud "I just put my keys in the right side, zipper pocket, of my Mary Poppins -black-hole-of-a-purse."

Our brains are amazing things. They keep all kinds of info. But just like the files on your five year old computer, the more info you put in, the more gets lost. Saying the things you need to hear out load puts them in a more prominent place on your desktop.

So take a tip from your local crazy and say a verse, or a prayer, or where your keys are, out loud today. You'll be surprised you still remember by supper time.
