As I listened to the music on my walk this morning, I asked myself the following question: Why is it that I can't remember what I just went into the other room to do but I can remember every word to a song that I haven't heard in over 50 years? I know. I've heard it….short term memory vs. long term memory. It still amazes me. 

The brain. I talk about it a lot during training sessions as it has everything to do with how we respond to others and process information. It controls our Emotional Intelligence and how we communicate. It controls our ability to think creatively and find better ways to do things. The list goes on and on.

I can only hope that I am able to retain some memory be it short or long term. I will continue to take that walk as often as I can and relish in the long term memory moments when I can actually remember something. Thank you, Pandora!

Exciting changes are always only a day away. This past Friday, the baton was passed to the newest sponsor of the Holiday Parade in South Glens Falls. I am so very excited to be working with the Post Star to continue the 35 year tradition of kicking off the holidays with this great event. Coordinating this event is always a great time and I look forward to stepping out on November 23, 2014. As they say…..change is good.
