Story - Hartwig Distler

warm. My mind was kind of free. I thought about the forest and how beautiful it is there. Then, suddenly my brain got stuck. I wanted to
remember what I normally did during day time. Normally I am learning and writing this story. I did not get a clue for one hour. I knew where I
am at home, but for am hour I didn't have an idea, what I normally do each day. I have tried to set all levers in motion, but no chance. Only
after one hour I came to the point what I normally did. And from then on it went again on it's own. Simply the correct memory aid was missing,
between what I normally do, and what I did these day. On such days it becomes even more obvious to me, how holey my brain still is. But here
as well is the important thing not to give up and try to solve the situation. Not desperately trying too, but also not giving up. For me it was an
important experience to go through.

Syllable
For a long time I was dealing with characters. Reading and writing characters. As I said, afterwards it seemed as it was taking a decade of
years. And still I have this hesitating, if I have to read or write a character. That all became much better, but as said, a certain hesitation is still
there.
I have started to work with syllables some time ago. I could not imagine that it will take such a lot of effort. But now I know that it takes very
long to get there to a certain point. It makes a difference whether after a "A" there is a "n" or a "l" or a "b". I mean here purely loud technical.
Therefore I have begun to "learn syllables". As an example we take the Word "hy-phe-nat-ion". The word consists of 4 syllables. We seem to
learn with the time, which letter combination makes sense, and which not. "Name" makes a sense, "Aenm" has also four letters, however
makes no sense. In the course of time we learn thus which we use and which not. It also seems to be like some characters are more important
than others. But here I have to read a little bit more.

The many things I did
When I begun to write my disease history, I thought I will be done in a week. However I soon recognized that this was an error. Only if I was
intensively occupied with the thing, I noticed, how many individual components build up the live. And new components emerge again and
again, which I did not consider at all. The things, which one uses several times a daily, go very fast into normality. "More interesting" is the
thing with those things which are rarely used. Some things you only use once a year. I mean those things which you even don’t know that they
