A Wonderful Day

My day out was wonderful. I had my hair done, stopped to get Mom a few things and was also able to do something I wanted to do. The air was cold and it was windy, but I didn't mind. It was kind of refreshing after being inside for so many days. I'm watching the news as I write. They mentioned how doing some crafts like knitting and quilting can ward off dementia in the elderly. Also, playing cards and other games may help in that respect. As long as your mind is engaged in something useful and active it will help. Watching TV is not something which would stimulate the mind and brain. So, not only should you get physical exercise for your body, it is also necessary to exercise your brain.
