What does it mean to be a kid at heart?
For me, it’s about being carefree, innocent, and full of joy. It’s about holding onto that spark of wonder, the belief that good things can still happen, even when life can be very serious. I remember my parents always saying I was like Peter Pan, not wanting to grow up. Who knows, but I think I have always been a bit of a kid at heart, the eternal optimist, clinging to hope when others might give up. Maybe it’s because I don’t have children of my own and still see the world through a youthful lens, or maybe it’s just who I am, my age in numbers, but not in spirit.
Growing up is overrated! It’s too bad so many of us lose that wonder, awe and carefree innocence.

I feel the same way, Wayne. I don’t have children, as well, so perhaps that’s helped me to maintain my sense of wonder in the world – being in awe of a beautiful sunrise, being amazed at seeing a hawk fly overhead, and simply enjoying fresh air and blue skies. I guess we’re lucky that we’ve been able to keep that flame alive.
