I read voraciously.

- That's wonderful SHARONA. I used to but it is more difficult now..I've had several eye surgeries and though I can read,it's only with a magnifying glass and that does make it more laborious and less enjoyable. Fortunately the computer screen gives me no problem at all so I use AB and a scrabble game entitled "Bespelled" to keep my brain active and each is a mental workout! Thank you for your answer and Happy Sunday! :)

it's always been reading. And my group of friends love to play MAHJONG.
Crosswords puzzles, chess.. I love those but not when I need to rest my brain.

- Reading works for me too (I hope! ) Thanks for your answer. :)

I usaually buy jigsaw puzzles and spend hours trying to complete the puzzle. When I'm done, I get a frame, and hang it up on the wall.
Comments
- I am so not good at jigsaw puzzles...think it has something to do with my lack of spatial visualization. I admire that ability. Thank you for your answer. :)

Occasional newspaper puzzles, chess or bridge column. I work with computer databases and programming languages, so I get a good brain workout at work. It's my physical aspects I need to plan time with.
Comments
- It all sounds good to me...I, too, am a bit lax on the exercise-the-body routine. Thanks for your answer. :)

All of those, read, read, read, and listen to motivational cd's by Neville Goddard.
Comments
- Agree that reading is great..especially if you delve into areas with which you're not familiar to open your mind to new things. Thanks for your answer. :)
