Are your memory problems normal? Is it just because you are getting older? Aren't problems finding the right word, losing your train of thought, and forgetting things just part of aging? Is it a senior moment? Not so fast. We normalize these things because they are so common. We reassure ourselves and others that it is no big deal. We laugh about it out loud but we are nervous and off-center inside. This was not our normal level of functioning just 10 years ago, was it?
