Listening to the music of the 80's always makes me feel like I am young.

Listening to the music I loved when I was young , I think is a connection we all have . I remember visiting old peoples homes as a brownie and singing "Daisy Daisy give your answer do" I wonder what they will sing to me ?

Wearing pretty lingerie
Trying new adventures

Looking after my nephew makes me feel young. We play hide & seek, football and do loads of crafts. It definitely reminds me of being a kid myself.

Every time I see a cat or dog I behave like an overexcited toddler

Learning new skills.

The days when make-up and hair seem to be just right,listening and singing with great music (usually in the kitchen when I am cooking)and bizarrely when I take my shopping trolley back from the car and I run with it!!

Putting on my running gear and scampering around in the mud and the rain! Riding my bike after a couple of beers!

When So You Again Win Again by Hot Chocolate comes on the radio I am taken right back to my youth club days.

Listening to music from the 60s, watching old musical films like A Hard Day's Night and Summer Holiday and seeing my old school friend, whom I only manage to catch up with about once every 10 years, unfortunately!

being invited by my three year old grandson to join in as if I am his age ....yesterday I had to roll down a hill - no problem! (how could i refuse!)

Spending time with my grandchildren and listening to music, very loud! :D

I feel young again when I start 'Rocking & Rolling' at family occasions and Royal British Legion events. I can still Jive! Even my sons say "Mum your amazing at 76!"

Getting a good night's sleep and waking up energised for another day.

Getting a bit of exercise outdoors usually puts the spring back in my step.

Playing with a ball on the beach, just like
I used to as a child, (many moons ago!) with my grandfather.

Spending time with old friends, like old days, when nothing has changed. still laughing and smiling like you always have.

carol2712 Thu 12-Sep-19 10:34:57

Having silly moments with my partner, like tickling his feet or just mucking about in the kitchen, the last 40 years fade away then you get a reflection in the mirror and wonder what happened in all those missing years.

my grandchildren, just watching their enthusiasm for life is rejuvenating
