That Thinking Ability

I have learned to take the power of thought seriously.  Not that I have been bending spoons or reading minds but I have been working with people who no longer have that power.  When you witness someone who has earned their Phd and was an outstanding professor, but due to dementia, can no longer read, write or speak, you realize the gift you have to think.   It reminds me of that old saying “you don’t know what you got until its gone”.    I am grateful for the power to think and reason and hope that if the other old saying “use it or lose it” is also true, since I plan on using my brain for years to come.
