I’d say that in so many ways, and it’s easy as I live with two grandchildren with their mom and dad. They are very young and still kids in so many ways. Being a kid at heart is not being immature at 65 or avoiding adult responsibilities, it’s about maintaining a youthful spirit and finding balance in life with the responsibilities of my adulthood and enjoying my grandkids.
Being a kid at heart still means finding joy and, like exploring nature, engaging in creative activities, the simple pleasure of getting lost with my granddaughter and her outgoing personality, or enjoying my grandson’s sense of humour and the stories he tells me often.
Yes, I can take life sometimes a bit seriously. But to have the opportunity to leave that behind every time I walk into our house is something I love and believe I’m so lucky to have. My daughter, her husband, and kids are there to offer such a heartwarming, fun atmosphere that brings me back to feeling like a young kid at heart. I love it.
It Saddens Me.
As I write this blog, many kids in Israel, Ukraine, and other parts of the world can’t even enjoy being kids. The parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, and the elders of society are not experiencing being that kid at heart, thanks to the conflicts and sadness that the world is enduring at the moment.
So, I’m very lucky that my daughter, son, family, and friends can be young at heart with their children or even just be young as we go through the ups and downs of life. I hope as my years go on I still have the heart and mind of a kid at heart to grow up with my young family. It makes me feel young in so many ways and brings laughter and enjoyment to my life, which allows me to enjoy it at its fullest moments it has to offer.
