What are you still young enough to do????

[princessbelle]

This is a counter-part to the thread about being too old to do this and that...

So, what are you still young enough to do even though maybe some may think "our" age should make us limited...

I turned 50 this year, in my younger days i would have thought these things would have been something a 50 year old would not have done, and i still do them and love to do them....

I still love riding a bike.
I still try and carry 50 bags of groceries into the house just so i won't have to go back for a second trip, even if i have to shut the door with my leg. :|

I still love to ride rides at the fair and play games and get silly tiny bears or big ole red lips and yes i still wear them as i walk around.

What things do you do that someone 1/2 your age may think "wow you still do that?"

I’m still young enough that I love to play -whether it be riding my bikes, or playing on the swings and slides at the playground, or flying a kite.

I’m still young enough that Bullwinkle the moose is one of my heroes.

I’m still young enough that I’m curious about everything and I really enjoy learning new things. (How do dragonflies manage to flit around like that?)

I’m still young enough to trust people and openly care about them.

I’m still young enough to wish on a star and fervently believe that my wish might come true.

I’m still young enough that the number of things that I can do is much much greater than the number of things that I can no longer do…

[macele]

Oh, I'm young enough to do many things. It just takes me more time to get there ;).

Seriously, I'm young enough to have a sense of wonder.
I'm young enough to laugh.

I'm young enough to still wear a cute shirt and some rocking jeans-if I allow for expansion.
I'm young enough to change careers or go back to school.

The more I read these lists, I realize there is no "young enough" or "too old" for most of them. With allowances for physical changes, we can do many, many things until we are here no longer :).

I'm still young enough to play hacky sack reasonably well all by myself. I am still just as fascinated by the inhabitants of a tidal pool as I was when I was 6. I am still young enough to appreciate amusement parks, and there is nothing better than a chocolate covered frozen banana enjoyed after being nearly frightened to death on a thrilling ride.

[Blade]

Climb trees (and tall femmes)
Play video games (Ahhh, Atari... I miss you!)
Amuse myself for hours just bouncing a ball against a wall
Play sports (might take me a few seconds longer to get up from a tackle than the 20-somethings, but I've still got it.)


... and still young enough to think I may one day find love again-- or have it find me.

[princessbelle]
