Yesterday, I watched “Still Alice,” a movie about a brilliant linguistics professor (brilliantly played by Julianne Moore) whose brain is afflicted by early onset familial Alzheimer’s. Even though that malady of the brain is “extremely rare” (I’m quoting the movie), I grew up knowing about it because it was in my father’s family. We watched 50% of his siblings deteriorate and die from it, as we wondered if that would happen to my father’s brain too. It did not, which meant my brain was safe also.
Last night, my brain woke me up in the middle of the night (maybe because of the movie, global warming, unknowns, who knows?) and I thought of a book I might write. My brain made a note to self and also on Twitter:
Several brains on Twitter could relate and are urging me to write it. I don’t know if I have the brains to write a book but I do have the brains to create a blog post every day.
I also have the brains to take my walk in the morning during a heat wave.
I have the brains to not eat cookies, candy, or hot dogs today, but my loony brain loves the moon!
My brain wants to know what I’ll find if I search YouTube for “how to make your brain shut up.”
Great brains think alike, apparently.
What does your brain think about this “brains” post? As always, my brain gives thanks for your brain, here and now.
