Haven't tried that lately.... these days my youthful thing that I still do after all these decades is dancing. I firmly believe that dancing, good music and art keep you young, vibrant, and enthusiastic about life.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-86849743445628430652011-09-06T09:30:55.750-04:002011-09-06T09:30:55.750-04:00Elizabeth--Learning something new gives me energy-...Elizabeth--Learning something new gives me energy--I'm glad to hear teaching does the same for you.

Teaching keeps me young and energized -- so many wonderful learners out there, full of enthusiasm and creative energy!! I also have a list of things that are waiting in the wings for the "time to be right." Hmmmm...wonder when that will be if I don't make it right?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-32713765542391761622011-09-03T10:14:25.883-04:002011-09-03T10:14:25.883-04:00Danielle--I hope you find just the right spontaneo...Danielle--I hope you find just the right spontaneous thing to do--just be careful if it's climbing your first tree!!Kathy A.

I think the horse keeps me young, because he keeps me physically and mentally active. And learning new things for sure.Kathy A.

It think it's the attitude more than the actual activity that keeps you young!Kathy A.

I also want to go kayaking out in the wilds somewhere—not sure where yet. <br /><br />What about you?

That sounds horrible! It sounds better when one can say "I'm 60 and can climb trees or do anything else I want to do"! Can I? I never did climb trees or do anything really physical but I do figure I can still learn. I do not want to be an old dog who can't learn new tricks so what am I learning? Well, beyond painting in watercolors, I am learning to draw people, especially faces, and I am starting a trial version of the Pimsleur Spanish language course. Spanish was my great-grandparents native language (great-grandma grew up speaking both English and Spanish but Great-Grandpa Lopez had to learn English). It's become totally lost to my generation so I am giving it a try. I wouldn't say "try" except I am hard of hearing so even knowing what people say when they speak in English is more difficult now and I sometimes do not get it all correctly to my family's entertainment!<br /><br />Have you climbed that tree yet?Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.com
