i appreciate you all sharing these helpful suggestions. The only thing I might add is just stay calm and move to another subject, the misplaced word usually pops up again....eventually.

Also, I envision my brain as a vast library and imagine there's a Librarian living there.
She's on call 24/7 !
In her youth she was perky and quick , running to and fro delivering immediate responses to my inquiries.
Later.....as I have aged, she has also ..... We will be 77 in a few weeks.
I picture my Librarian today as a sweet elderly woman; hunched shoulders and her sweet white hair bent over her cane. She peers through thick lensed glasses as she carefully considers my latest inquiry. Then she happily begins her search for my answer. Her response may be in a few minutes or days . I have learned to appreciate her consistent best effort no matter the result 🙂

I love this image! I'm going to start thinking about it this way. 🙂

I like the librarian image I will share this tonight at a memory loss meeting. Thank you.
