Being out and about on a windy day ever since I was little I have loved windy days and the feel of the wind on my face takes me back to childhood days and makes me feel young again xx
I am in my late 60's and when i meet people i haven't seen for a good few years they always say i have never changed and they would recognise me anywhere so i can't be ageing too badly.
Going to theme parks with my two adult son's keeps me young. When they were young they couldn't go on the big rides and when in their teens they wanted to go with their friends. Now they take me! I am an adrenaline junkie! I love being on the front of a fast ride being turned upside down again and again and screaming at the top of my voice! I can't wait for our next day out!
Volunteering at our local Brownie Pack, suddenly I find myself up to my elbows in craft, hurtling down a hill on a grass sledge, abseiling, learning about recycling or countless other activities which make me feel alive each week.
Im 63 and still working, I think work makes you feel young, it keeps the brain active and its true what they say, if you dont use it you lose it. Most of my colleagues are young enough to be my children and in some cases grandchildren but this just makes me more determined to stay active and young.
