The alarm went off this morning, getting ready for my day, anyone could have told me I would have a photo of this house by the end of the day I would have laughed at them… then I got a text. Apparently, I left my camera bag and a lens in the park yesterday after a session. Second time in my life I have left equipment behind just sitting on the ground, not bad odds I guess until I admit both times were in the last month –  losing your mind is not fun kids, but that is not the point of the post. The text “Good morning, Tim. This is Jeff, a resident in Medway. We found your camera bag with a Nikon lens in Choate park. Let me know how I can get it back to you.” Until that moment, I did not even know it was missing. I was horrified, yet so relieved the right person came across it. I have not even gotten to the crazy part yet. Jeff follows up with his address, and some times, I can grab the bag. The address belongs to the house in the photo. This is the house I grew up in, the front left corner is/was my room for 16 years. 13,000 + people in town, my bag was randomly found by the family who lives in my childhood home. I am not too crazy that I am losing my mind and all that, but I have to say, kind of cool it happened. I got to meet Jeff, who also is a photographer – he got to shoot the full eclipse in the path of totality, awesome photos – tour my old house, which Jeff and his family have made into even a more beautiful home than I remember. A lot of changes in 30 years, my Dad’s Silver Maple I loved as a kid is huge, I would kill to have the new kitchen they have, I miss that pool which now shares space with the ultimate entertaining area, walking through the front door was strange but comfortable at the same time. Things happen for a reason, good people are still out there, and in the end, we are all just caretakers of these addresses. I was happy to revisit one of my favorites and meet the new caretakers. Thanks to Jeff and his family. I hope to pay forward the good karma.

    If you are interested, there are things that can be done to stimulate neuroplasticity in the hippocampus (brain) to improve memory among other things. If, like most of us, you grew up on processed food and have eaten a lot of beef, your risk of growing cognitive impairment as you reach 60 years of age goes up exponentially. The good news is that things can be done if you are interested. Early intervention is the most beneficial.
