I love that quote. I live that quote. Brainstorming and sharing ideas is one of my favorite things. It helps to jump start my imagination when it becomes stagnant.
Lately, my mind will think of something but gets lost on its way out my mouth. Thankfully, I have friends who are good guessers and can usually figure out what it is I was trying to say.
When I was going through chemo, I could contribute it to "chemo brain". That is a fog that develops as a side effect from the drugs. Maybe I have chemo brain residue or perhaps, more likely, it is an age thing.
Of course, another explanation, one that I like is that I have been blessed to live such a full life of many varied experiences that sometimes it is brain overload. I simply need to reboot.
In any case, it important to borrow the ideas and brain power of others from time to time. It gives us a refreshing new point of view.
