forgetful

It's funny how often I realize that my tendency to forget things is probably holding me back. Maybe not always in ways that substantially matter, but in ways that bother me to no end just the same. After my second car wreck in 2005 (i actually did walk away from that one in a sense...went to the hospital then back to work for the last few hours of the day) and the concussion I suffered from a couple of years later shortly after starting graduate studies, I seem to forget everything...or at least more and more on a daily basis. When someone calls me out on something I may have misquoted or completely forgotten about, I usually feel grateful someone is there to correct me, but then I feel awful because I realize how inadequate I've become. I'm only posting this here as a reminder for myself...maybe if I read this every time I start to feel inadequate or worthless...I can then just let the feeling pass.
