It is evident that I have inherited a condition from my parents that serves me well. It keeps me hopeful, filled with faith, child-like wonder, and the belief in possibilities.
Frank Sinatra described it best:
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If
you're young at heart
For its hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If
you're young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way
Don't you know that its worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are its much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all
you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
May you discover that you also are young at heart.
