My husband is so hardheaded! His back is killing him from which is too soft and he refuses to buy another one until he gets a number of bills paid off as he is close to retirement. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water, but. I’ve heard of people losing their sense of smell from Covid. I guess I’ve not heard whether it continued to remain gone or if it came back I don’t know. We have to google that to help him get to sleep. My father used to recite the names of the presidents the years they served and their vice president until he fell asleep! Ha ha ha! I don’t care that much about the president anymore and at 71 it is very hard for me to memorize things even to remember the names of people. My new husband knew that when he married me in January so he’s very patient with me but as a Christian, I know it’s not God’s will for me to be anxious and worry I have ADHD as well, and it is so hard for me to stop my brain from cycling round and round on the same thing. For sometime now, I have been wanting to memorize scripture that correlates with the alphabet to help me fall asleep or to think about when I’m tempted to be anxious. I came across a sample and I have almost managed to memorize it. I don’t worry about the chapter and verse. I I just memorize the words I’m going to try to include a photo for you. There ought to be all sorts of these out there I remember when my 43-year-old son was just for having a book like this and I still remember the first four verses from teaching him. (they weren’t the same as the first four verses on this example) I’m saying a prayer for you and that your husband would listen to reason

Oh my gosh!! I had never heard of this before! What an awesome way to learn and memorize scripture! Thank you!! I was unaware that I had ADHD until recently, when my daughter looked into it for herself and said, " mom! I'm pretty sure you have ADHD! Lol! I did some research myself and I'm telling you, I could be the poster child! I just wish I had known my daughter's problems were caused by this. So much makes sense now! (For both of us) I'm learning how to deal with things that trip me up and that just because starting things and then completing them is so hard it doesnt mean I'm lazy or stupid. I swear I can't remember anything from one moment to the next, especially bible verses! Other people do it, why can't I? Well now I know. I can't concentrate long enough for it to stick. And math?! In my head?! Lol! I could never remember the algebra problem solving equation so I could solve it on a test. I just felt stupid. We've come a long way in understanding the brain haven't we! It sounds like we both have wonderful husbands who love us. What a blessing!! Thank you again for the verse by alphabet trick!
