"The horror of that moment," the King went
on, "I shall never, never forget." "You
will, though," the Queen said, "if you don't make a
memorandum of it." Lewis Carroll, Through
the Looking-Glass |

real challenge. Fortunately, numerous memory aids are available to

calendars, and the like can simplify your life and give your mind a

I.D. Tags
Pet tags can be handy for people too. Ever go
out without a purse or wallet? Have a plain metal tag
imprinted with:
 |
your name |
 |
contact information -
possibilities would
include:
 |
caregiver's phone number and cell
phone number (if used), or |
 |
a fax number |
|
Avoid giving contact information, such as an address, which would
let a stranger know where you live. Attach the tag to a key
ring, shoelace, or neck chain and you are set. |
