Reminiscing with old friends, being with younger people sharing similar activities, being interested in change!

Listening to 80s music, and I look after my skin, so people often think I’m younger than I am! ?

Listening to the music of my youth makes me feel young. In my head I think I'm still that youngster, my body begs to differ!!

Talking to friends about “the good old days” and what we used to get up to.
We feel younger just talking about it.

Re-discovering the joy of hobbies I neglected since my youth … I am sketching, doodling and painting again with even more pleasure and it makes me feel like I did back then … energised and happy smile

I like to wear unusually bright colours that reminds me of being young and free and not being self conscious.

My weekly night out with my friends, we are able to be ourselves, relax, laugh till our jaws ache and then look forward to the next one, bliss.

welshchrissy Mon 16-Sept-19 15:47:38

Just being able to have a really good laugh about something or seeing the funny side of perhaps a serious subject or maybe just putting a different meaning on things can all make me feel childish and carefree again

After being widowed at the age of 71 I joined the Rock Choir. Although it is a business It is an amazing organisation and I have made so many friends who all love to sing and dance. Age is no barrier and it makes me feel uplifted and joyous whenever I go. I feel young again.
