Perseverance

Perseverance is an important part of wisdom. I am right in the middle of persevering with this blog.
I am trying to set up my blog so that anyone who wants to read it can do so. But I just have had no success so far. I will continue to persevere.


This is also the second time I'm writing this blog today. I accidentally deleted the last one I wrote. I did have a lovely day anyway. It started as it always does with an early morning walk before breakfast. The walk is also part of  training Thomas. He is improving daily.
Then I had a date with my vacuum cleaner and the mop bucket. With three dogs in the house and a nine week old puppy toilet training, I often have a date with the vacuum and mop.


Then we took both dogs on the bus. Jesse had never been on a bus before but you would not have guessed. He was not fazed at all by the size, noise or movement of the bus. So we ticked 'bus ride' off our list.


After lunch our family and their dog Monty descended on us and we ate chocolate and played canasta. It was a fun afternoon. The dogs enjoyed themselves as well.


Back to blogging. Is it true that if you don't use it, you loose it? I'm sure it applies to muscles but I'm not so sure about brain cells. I have met very intelligent, highly academic people who have used their brains all their lives and still developed Alzheimer's. I have also met people who did not use their brain cells and died old and knew everything and everyone around them.


The answer to what is wisdom? How can we prevent Alzheimer's? Well there is no definitive answer.  But I will continue to ponder these things and how it applies to me personally.
