Keep your Brain Sharp!
Larry and I have spent countless hours in a nursing home visiting our parents. My dad’s doctor gave Larry some advice that I have never forgotten. One day we were visiting my dad and Larry had his iPad. It is never far from him! He loves playing Words with Friends. I mean he really loves it—is addicted (almost as much as I am). When we are ready to relax at night, he is in his chair and I am on the couch with the television on. We play little attention to television because we are so involved in our Words with Friends games.
Dr Lindberg walked by Larry that day at the nursing home and said – “Ah, you are playing WWF. My wife plays also. Keep playing. It is so good for your brain!.” Shortly after that, Dr Lindberg (he was also my aunt’s doctor) told Aunt Wanda to keep trying to play her piano. Her memory was getting a little fuzzy and he said playing the piano kept the brain active. So guess what I do? I play WWF and I play my piano at least 5 days a week!!
