What a totally cool quote I am going to put it in my pocket!!! I think I am much younger than I really am, I can’t believe I am a day over 19 – really!!! And when I see folk that I was at school with I think “My goodness, how did they get so old!!!” I love the whole twinkly eye idea… My kids keep me young. They make me try new stuff ALL the time, just last week they had me riding a bike for the first time in oh about twenty years!!! Don’t believe you “never forget how!!!” it took me quite a while to figure out PEDAL!!! Have a fun weekend!!!

I will always be 30 in my mind and heart. As I faced turning 60 last year I started a blog. I wasn’t even thinking at the time it might keep me young. It has.

It’s all about attitude and a willingness to constantly learn new things. In this era of lightning speed technology that will keep you on your toes!
Great post!

Annabel, what a pleasure to get to know you via Twitter and to read this wonderful piece.

I was born in 1962, so am older than you but will give you a run for the money on feeling and behaving immature… ooops, I mean, young! LOL.

Life is too short to feel old. I feel young every day by realizing, today is the rest of the great life ahead of me. I remain humble by remembering to enjoy every day as if it is the last. I remain thankful, even if it is the last day, what an amazing life I have had.

Fondly

Hey Annabel. Great tips! I follow the same secrets. Life is too short to worry about pleasing others. Our attitudes are far more important than our looks. One of the great things about having a child is being able to play on playgrounds and play with toys again. I love bouncing on the inflatables, going down the slides, and swinging on the swings with my daughter. It really brings the youthfulness back.

“… a community of genuine and deep-thinking individuals who judge people on their values and knowledge …”.

Quite, an interesting group of commenters. Your practice of analyzing and sincerely (if not humorously) reflecting in reply is surely encouraging to those that seek to give and receive insight.

Personally, I embrace my chronological age — very soon to tick another year. It serves well to explain some lack of enthusiasm for risk and some reliance on a body of work well done. Now remarkably beyond youth, members of my ‘Baby Boomer’ generation in many ways still stand in the shadows of the ‘Greatest Generation’. Ironic

Tomas – I know there are a lot of young people who are older than they should be. Sad really.

Bee – Can’t believe it’s taken this long for someone to comment on the smoking photo! I did way it was naughty and that he may have lived longer if he’d abstained!

Your anti-ageing hero is smoking! Hehe! Not that you’d ever do anything as silly as that…
