Being able to join in a Body Combat class with young people at the age of 60 makes me feel young again!
And dancing round the kitchen to 70s music.

I feel young again when I when I put my music on when nobody is watching and dance like crazy! I spin, sing and use the hairbrush microphone and I am 18 again.

Since my precious little granddaughter Kassidy was put into my care 2 years ago aged 4,she has made me feel young again ( and sometimes very old too ?) she is making me see everything with fresh eyes again and she doesn't see me as old she just assumes that I will get down on the floor and play with her and run around outside with her so yes,Kassidy makes me feel young again ❤
