I had never viewed memory as something alive and tangible. In fact, I don\\u2019t believe I\\u2019ve ever thought about memories as \\u2018gifts.\\u2019 As I thought about this concept I realized that when I remember something from my childhood or come across a scent I hadn\\u2019t smelled in a long time, or find an article of clothing I haven\'t worn in a long time, it is like receiving a gift. Those memories are gifts I get to open every time I encounter them. They always serve to remind me of what I give value to in my life.

Something affected me about this sentence. Yes, it is about folks that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer\\u2019s, but did you catch the last little bit of that quote:
\\n\\n\\nas are those of us that work with people with Alzheimer\\u2019s.
\\n
To me that means everyone.
\\nThen it becomes about something completely different.
\\nHow about you? Are you in danger of forgetting that you can still remember? Are you surrounding yourself with acts of remembering?
