SIX WORD SATURDAY

 

SIX WORD SATURDAY

Thanks to CallMeCate for hosting Six Word Saturday. This weeks words are:

Do I Really Have to Grow-up!!!

We are always being told to act our age. Age is just a number and if I add my 2 digits I get the #6. I want to act like I am 6.  I want to jump in puddles after it rains. I want to slide down the slide and swing in the swings. I want to teeter and totter. Can I play in the sandbox and make castles. What about mud pies? Should we let our outer body restrict us because we walk a little slower?

I still love to colour and I don’t always want to stay in the lines. I want to have a purple princess and a green prince. Does it really matter if my horse is blue and the carriage is red?

I asked the question “What is a childlike activity you like to do?’ on my Monday blog. The answers I got were incredible.  I would like to thank all of my blogger followers for their terrific responses.

As you read I love my grandchildren and they love it when I play with them. I made not run as fast but I can play Tag. I count slowly and take my time finding the hiding spots in Hide and Go Seek. I praise their artwork and hang it on my fridge.

My grandchildren keep young and don’t think of me as old. Thank goodness I don’t have to grow-up to play with them.

Enjoy being young and don’t give up child’s play because we are all young at heart.

I think it is cool that you do enjoy doing activities that one might consider "only for the young" like coloring and playing games with your grandchildren. I too enjoyed coloring right alongside with my kids when they were growing up. It is good not to grow up indeed and enjoy being young as long as we can!

Hear, hear . I'm 16 inside.
I hear and agree completely. Now if I could just convince that old codger who keeps staring out at me from the bathroom mirror....

Excellent advice! You're only as old as you feel!

Don't think it's compulsory, Judy? I'm keeping a foot in both camps.
At 48, my body is convincing me I am much older, with MS. My advice? Play while you can, and don't let your body dictate your feelings. :)

Growing up and growing old are 2 different things. I have grown up and I am old but I have not grown old...
No, don't grow up! I want to always have a bit of the child in me!
