Do you still take the time to see the sun come up? Do you make time in your busy lifeto play? Do you ever lay in the grass and view pictures in the clouds? Do you still dig in the dirt? Watch cartoons on Saturday morning? Eat cereal? What makes you a kid at heart? What does it mean to stay youthful? A suggestion, ask your kid why they love you. Answer, they "just do". That's what it means to stay young. To love others, no matter who they are, just because you can! To say hello and ask "how are you today?" and actually look forward to a responsive answer. To hold the door at the local gas station so it won't hit the next person coming out who is searching for their keys instead of the door. To take back the grocery cart when you are done with it, or offer it to the next shopper you see entering the store. To say thank you, to everybody. To be the influence, not just be influenced. Are you searching for the elusive "American Dream" or are you living it? What does it look like?
