Having a sense of humour Azz, and not taking life too seriously.
Positive attitude…If you think you can do something, you probably can.

Well said, no doubt, if you want to narrow it down to being young at heart. Thinking about it, keeping oneself young might be too tall an order. If Azz had asked: What keeps you going, he may have got different answers.
What keeps me young, well feeling younger anyway.?..My daughter, she drags me to everything, car boots, flea markets, antique fairs, towns for shopping in charity shops. If I didn’t put my foot down she’d have me out every day somewhere. She forgets how old I am I’m sure. 
I am lucky to have her & to be reasonabley healthy for my age too.

That sounds like a page out of Mrs Fox’s life Tiff.
Especially the charity shops with our Daughter.

Having a dog keeps me young, I have to take her out for her walk every day, so that’s my exercise. On the walk I meet other folks around the village and often stop for a chat - living alone I would go for days without talking to anyone if I didn’t go on the dog walks. 
Mind you, sometimes on my return from the walks I feel even older until I’ve revived myself with a morning coffee! 
I also enjoy doing the cryptic crossword in the Telegraph - that keeps my brain active too.

It’s something you think about a lot more when you retire, and health issues can have an impact on life in general, for the young and the old.
Physically, i try to get as much exercise as possible by being less dependent on a car, and walking regularly into town (20 mins) and back again, or by using the stairs instead of a lift.
Having a good sense of humour, watching programmes that make me laugh (mostly), having interests and hobbies is also good for ‘brain’ health, and i don’t dwell on the bad stuff in the news for too long.

Good for her too.OGF, does she buy much? I am a collector, though some might say a hoarder, but I do sell as well, it’s just that sometimes you’ve got to keep ‘stuff’ at least for a while.
Yes! All of this!!
And my daily dose of optimism

Getting involved in the stuff going on in the local community. Three weeks ago I was on a trailer decorated with pictures of various vegetables and chickens, pulled by a tractor through the village, dressed as a potato, alongside others dressed as chickens and carrots. Three weeks time its our village fete - steak night, and snail day. I’ll be manning the bar then helping serve the food. The laughter keeps me young.
