remember at one camp clean up when I got disgusted with myself and said well not that Florence only to discover that the woman work ing beside me was called Florence as well That is one way to become acquainted I had been broken of the habit of humming to myself when I started school but no one had broken the habit of talking to myself After all these years I am now finding out that at least one psychiatrist believes that it is a good thing to talk to oneself A ay person does it in time of stress and anger crowded times etc etc and it keeps one from spinn ing out of control In most cases it even manages to keep people psychologically healthy and saves some doctors bills The discovery about this talk to oneself Is that it is actually thinking about our thinking Now I know it is possible for so many seniors to take up all these modem gadgets and work them as well as their grand Youre as young as your feet NC Feet that lead the body through an active life year after year need regular
