We all have heard that being in the moment is a good thing. Is it really practical to be in the moment all the time? What are the side effects of being in the moment all the time?

 I usually do not remember the past. 

I am in the moment most of the time! 

I hate dwelling on my unpleasant memories. 

I look at and appreciate beautiful flowers
as if it was the first time I have seen them. 

I ask the same question over and over with same curiosity
as if I have asked the question for the first time. 

I greet people with enthusiasm as if I have not seen them for years.

I laugh loudly at jokes as if it was the first time I heard the joke.

I do not have a short term memory.
I am in the moment!

I do not have much long term memory.
I am in the moment!

I get scared when I do not have a memory of me.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Who are my friends?

They tell me I have Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

I am in the moment!

Do you want to be in the moment with me?

This is classic poetry with a huge message. While many have memories that haunt them, often expressed in poems here, it is much more tragic to have no memories at all. To live each day only "in the moment." Thanks for bringing that to our attention. May we find a way to stop the epidemic of dementia/Alzheimer's.

"Who are my friends" Well there may be many, but God is our only true friend! A lovely piece of work, Shervin, blessings!

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?

Stuff You Can Say Everyday by D. Mullis

My son wrote a book of his personal, one liner quotes. Never underestimate the power of simple statements! A very interesting read!
