Here's how to act like a child

“You're feeling energized lately but you couldn't possibly do that - you're too old. Here's how to act like a child.”

Now we might not emulate Tina Turner in a skin-tight leather mini and stacked heels singing rock n' roll when we're 60, or even trek through dangerous territory internationally for a story like 52 year old Ann Curry does, but what their examples show are you're never too old for ___ (you fill in the blank). Granted, once you reach a certain age you might not get accepted into the military, qualify as an Olympi**** skater, or get the lead in "Annie," but if you're healthy and up for the challenge, what can you do? Run a marathon, skate, Jet Ski, hike, or maybe jump rope in your driveway? Instead of saying, "I'm too old to...," try, "I can ____." You're never too old to try something that will keep you feeling young.

Going on the Ferris Wheel with my sons, and singing and dancing to the music at the fair. I couldn't ride the ferris wheel when I was MO, and I just wouldn't have been caught dead, singing and dancing in public lol

Great topic!  I'm 42 and I have been MO since my early 20's. There is so much I've always wanted to do but never could. The thing I want most to do is surfing. I was always too fat (no way could I "pop up" to a standing position from being on my belly...on a board on the water!) I had RNY 6/30 and I can't wait to get my balance and upper body strength back so I can finally do what I've been longing to do.

Thanks for the uplifting post!
