For remembering things that you think you've forgotten, one thing that might jog your memory is to listen to music from each year you've been alive (and some from just before - often still being played when you were a child). I find that a song will make me remember exactly what a day was like when I first heard it. Or something that was going on at a time it was playing on the radio. Sometimes the song itself has little or nothing to do with the memory, it was just in the background. Kathy
