Fountain of Youth

Ah, the elusive and often sought after fountain of youth. Marketed often as a product choice, a food choice or a miraculous herbal option. nope nope nope, I don't believe for a minute that the fountain of youth stems from some magical external source. There are no north east south or west directional guidelines to find this fountain. It is not deep within some rain forest or far away land. The fountain of youth is within all of us, it is an internal source. Laughter, acceptance, joy, hope, pleasure these are the directions to the fountain of youth, the fountain itself being attitude. Youthful exuberance at any age, this is a choice we can make. We can chose to mire ouselves in the everyday stresses and worries of what we are taught by society is the reality of life (societal supposed to's as they are referred to by a friend and co-worker of mine) or we can learn to live in the moment and appreciate the gift of life, and follow the directions to the true fountain of youth.

Another friend I have met recently and laughs with me on many occassions, has changed since we first met. When I see my friend, these days there is a brighter sparkle in those blue eyes, then I first noticed and there is a youthful aura that surrounds his very being that is now dominant and obvious. tee hee hee
