🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕

Dear Readers,

I was telling someone a story recently when I suddenly stopped in the middle of a sentence. I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I could practically feel the word sitting there—but for some reason, it wouldn't arrive.

So I did that ridiculous thing we all do. I stared into the distance as though the ceiling might provide the answer. Eventually someone else supplied the word, and immediately I said, "YES. That."

It wasn't that I'd forgotten what the word meant. I recognised it instantly. That's what made the moment interesting: the information seemed to be there, but accessing it wasn't as effortless as I expected.

We tend to dismiss little moments like that because they're over almost immediately. But when the same sort of thing starts happening more often, I think it's reasonable to become curious rather than simply laughing it off.

If staying mentally sharp matters to you, this is an easy daily routine to explore.

You don't have to make much of it. But if you're interested enough to investigate, look at the full explanation rather than stopping at the first interesting claim.

And yes—the word I couldn't remember eventually became completely obvious again. That's almost the funniest part.

Until next time,
