Brain Health: Keeping your brain active

@lakeside1999 I salute for your writing skills. I’m a terrible writer, and have had a reading problem since childhood.
Three years ago I started to paint with acrylic paints on canvas. I had never tried that before I believe, because I was too busy taking care of my family. Now I’m single, live alone, and can do whatever I want.
Art has become my happy spot. It keeps me alive!
I’ve also just started doing jigsaw puzzles. I’m 73 years old and I am excited to sit in front of the puzzle each morning for a few minutes. I even bought a puzzle table that is portable, and tilts so you can see the puzzle better.
A 1000 piece puzzle is a challenge for me, but I don’t give up.
I borrow the puzzles from my library. Free is good!
The biggest brain builder for me though is building my family tree on Ancestry! If you want to combine your talents into one activity a family tree is the way to go!
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment. I’m doing well…

Long day going slow doing a bit of outside cleanup tp keep my mind going and active fairly nice out just stuck around home for the day did not feel that well to be doing much just trying also to keep my mind going and being raised in Fairbanks Alaska I still get the magazine to see all new things and updates and reading a lot, and trying to get in the frame of mind to be working on my book takes a long time to gather all thoughts of your life from the start getting there slowly. take care now keep positive always like you are
