If you want to feel young at heart,spend some time with your grandchildren, or ride in a small boat with a friend and enjoy the smell of magnolias, the wind blowing through your hair and the mist from the lake brushing past your cheeks.
Those lazy summer days can bring back those memories of lost summers and lost loves.
Put on an old favorite record (that shows you how old I am) and let the memories comfort and warm your soul.
If you are with your grandchildren, find a swing and if they are big enough have them push you. I promise it will take you back. Or like I did with my grandsons,we went to an early morning movie and had popcorn and candy for breakfast, what fun!!!
Then we came home played in the pool and I taught them how to play Marco/Polo. We then went and had pizza for lunch and ice cream for dessert. I had the most amazing time and so did they.
Go ahead be silly, have fun and remember it is the small things in life that mean the most. You are making memories for your grandchildren to remember you. So many lessons we can teach them if only we take the time.
One of the best things about getting old for me is that I can feel young and silly again,enjoy those fleeting moments with my grandchildren and relive some of my youth.
Now go throw a water balloon or do a cannonball in the pool. But go have some fun!!!
And of course sing along with Frank to Young At Heart.
