I fired up an old Windows 7 laptop today and had a wander through an old browser on it. It turns out that I had entirely forgotten not one, but two entire blogs. This takes some doing, even for me. This is an increasingly common occurrence; a disturbing side-effect of peri-menopause and, in a lesser way I suppose, just getting older.
It boggles my mind that I can have a routine, habit, behaviour or pastime that I visit regularly and then, one day, just stop - and rapidly, I then just forget I ever had it. I don't think I used to be like this, but I can't honestly remember. It makes putting new habits in place pretty much impossible, because the habits never form. Anything can just get dropped at will, at which point it will pretty much disappear from the psyche in short order.
