It's the simple things that I did when I was young that makes me feel young. Like eating an ice cream or kicking a pile of leaves

Jumping in puddles!

Playing Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and dancing to it by candlelight when no one else is in the house...just like I used to forty years ago. Some things are timeless and so ageless. x

I have to remind myself that I'm not young sometimes. Whatever the exterior me I'm young inside.

Being with my 5 other siblings...funnily enough the old patterns and old roles you had as a child still shines through no matter what age confused

My two grandchildren make me feel young because I can go to see Disney films with them on Saturday mornings

My lovely young friends at work who are between the ages of 17 and 24 keep me young when we have fun at work and we have a laugh, they tell me I am 21 inside and out and we have a lot of fun together. Also my lovely grandchildren who are now 13 and 15 and we have fun going on a zipwire and they make me feel young again.

Working in a busy reception age classroom as a teaching assistant I’m always being made to play dress up role play as various Disney princesses!! It certainly keeps me on my toes and feeling young ?

I am afraid nothing makes me feel young again when conscious, but for 6 or 7 hours per night I am transported to a young me zone as I am never old in my dreams and my sons are always children again, never in their 40s as they are in real life.

I'm 67 years old and ever winter when there is snow covering the garden I just love to jump in and roll around in it ... I feel like a kid having fun. smile
