It's nice to know that we are doing good things for our brain fitness. The research by Pennebaker I mentioned has some very interesting data on the benefits of writing to sort out feelings. For me I want to structure my thoughts into a coherent piece of writing. Let's keep writing for the love of it.
That's my goal "being a long-term writer and a cognitively fit Smart Ager" as well. I didn't start writing seriously until three years ago and have been surprised about two things: 1. writing helps me sort out my feelings and myself, and 2. the writing has been a huge part of the healing process for me.
Thanks for sharing this great information! It's encouraging to know that something I love doing is also so good for me. Thanks also for pointing to my page - very much appreciated! Wish you all the best with your writing in 2024. May you be blessed with a stream of new ideas and excitement to share your gift.
As a lifelong writer who worries about cognitive decline, I found this article highly encouraging. I will be framing it and placing it over my computer.

Glad you enjoyed it Don. Write on.
Thanks Cathey. In addition I am exploring how I can improve my cognitive fitness that will also improve my writing.
