Staying Young at Heart

I fall in love with simple things everyday! I smile a lot like I’m seeing things for the first time. I continue to climb, walk, run and jog. Stretching is a routine, no complications. I keep making friends. I laugh at my mistakes for I am yet to learn enough. I play with the puddles after the rain. I build sand castles on the beach. I knead mud in the river banks. I assemble Lego buildings.

Although I still look back and sigh, I despair not. I can still do something new. I continue my being meticulous on food despite dreaming about sweet treats at night. My body functions for various tasks. I accept how changes challenge my body.

Despite the temporary elements surrounding us, the joy of life lingers. It is striving to craft every moment of life as a good learning ground. Being young at heart is a conscious awareness of maintaining youthful spirit. No one is too old to navigate the unraveled mysteries of the universe.
