So this is midweek 

Yesterday I spent a long time deleting a lot of emails. I probably could have done it earlier  but I am not sure I have been thinking  very clearly. Who knows how many more times I won't  think clearly. 

But to the point I found a message from my youngest cousin. He had sent me a farewell note that I didn't see until yesterday as I was cleaning out my email. To a certain extent I had forgotten about him. It is nothing personal to a certain extent I have this problem it is out of sight out of mind. Not for everything but I have not had certain things engrained into my head. 

At the last place I was I  found some stuff in a drawer.  I had forgotten about them because Well I couldn't see them. It made me a little upset when I found them. Not that the things were very important. But I hadn't seen them for a while and I would have used them if I had seen them. 

I am not approving hoarding, I think I used  to be a borderline anyway. Thank goodness my wife has been able to keep things  neat in spite of me. 

But let me share one more thing that I closely related. 

There are some things that I have a very difficult time reaching when someone thinks that something is to close to an edge.  Please don't move the object or please tell me if you do move something. Thank you in advance. If I use something regularly the object is probably safe. 

So why do I place things close to the edge?  Well the main reason is because it is impossible to make both my arms go high at the same time and the further out my hands go I have less dexterity. At least as I go up. Now I can pick up some things off the floor. It hasn't always been like that.  

In the past it has been very hard to do so very many things. I have had very small improvements. It is not nearly as fast as I would like it to be. But as the old proverb that I was reminded  of by a person I know, "Inch by inch life's a cinch. Yard by yard it's very very hard". 

Up until now I had been trying to live life by the yard.  A part of me still wants to.  But a have been forced to move by the inch. I have more I want to say but I better post this.
