I live a MUCH simpler life--that totally helps. Not only am I more forgetful about where I lay things down, I'm also vision-impaired. My phone and tablet have very bright covers that I got on Amazon. I'm so blessed to have my "St. Anthony" living with me. My husband will find anything if it's in the apartment.

He's so patient with me, even after 27 years. He knows there's zero point in asking me where I last remembered having it. If I knew THAT, then I wouldn't be still looking for it (whatever the "it" is). I rarely remember to take my phone off mute when I leave church. Being noise-sensitive, I prefer leaving it on mute and keeping it close to me.
