I feel my age is about 35-40 so am amused when some youngblood relates to me as a senior. But I get it. I&#8217;m 63. If I don&#8217;t know someone, I can look at them and make assumptions about their age and their lifestyle. If I know them and we&#8217;ve had fun smiling times, I remember them as more youthful since we&#8217;ve actively interacted in playful pursuits. If I&#8217;ve known them many years, I see that younger person in them no matter what they look like now. I grew up in a playful family, so when I meet other playful adults, that triggers my inner kid. Connecting with that energy definitely keeps me feeling young. Paying attention to how I treat my body determines how young I look.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/42250\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Connecting with playful others keep me young and vital&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/42250\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/42250\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/42250\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Connecting%20with%20playful%20others%20keep%20me%20young%20and%20vital&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/42250\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;m almost halfway thru my gig on this planet in this lifetime, I understand a lot more about people.
