Note to self

I was talking just the other day to my cousin about finding a note in my pocket that I had written myself.  It was not immediately apparent what in the world my note meant and I felt panic wave over me:  How could I not remember this? Or even have a slight memory of it at all? Finally, when it all came to me
( the note was about a topic for a blog post.) I felt great relief.

It's a little scary to have your mind play a trick on you like that.  It did not take me more than a few seconds to feel rattled.

The French have a term called jamais vu - which is a used to describe the feeling when you can't remember a word or name of something you are well familiar with.  Like deja vu, it's a feeling that is hard to describe but we've all experienced it.

And it's a little creepy, n'est pas?
