More on the brain
Along with enjoying the English spring and the company of 21-month-old Nya, formerly known as the Upholstery Eater, who says "Good morning, Carol!" when I come down for breakfast, "Bless you" when anyone sneezes, and occasionally "Blimey!" I'm reading another book about the brain, this time, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life by Daniel G. Amen, M.D. So far I've learned that witzelsucht is "a term in the psychiatric literature that characterizes 'an addiction to making bad jokes'" and that my pathological aversion to paperwork could indicate an imbalance in my prefrontal cortex. Amen's prescription? Hire someone else to do it.

Amen to that! Uh oh, my witzelsucht is acting up again...
There's a great book by Wayne Dyer called. "Change your thoughts, change your life" which is really what so many people don't do.
Love the photo. She's getting started soon.
Oh she sounds so cute! So funny the things she says :)
