Feeling Zesty

My youth is gone; but my energy and enthusiasm are still in me making me full of zest and gusto. At seventy, I am more enthusiastic and excited about life for every day is a new day, an adventure. Gone are the days running in the fast lanes, being here, there and everywhere to get things done. Or the days when every little things became big deals making you spin your wheels for nothing. Now, I just take care of myself, do things on my sweet time and let little things not bother me. I am so thankful of just living my life to the fullest, like a little child, so free, full of energy, enthusiasm. That zesty feeling makes me spunky to dress up in style, adding accessories, like spicing my cooking. Feeling zesty pleasantly stimulates me to do my drawings with pizazz and delight in sketching them. It makes me so excited to sing and to learn Italian songs with correct pronunciations and rhythms. It gives me exuberance when I dance that people notice and let me know they enjoy watching me. Feeling zesty allows me to be zealous in writing poems to motivate and to encourage positivity. Feeling zesty shows my free spirit, happiness, creativity, passion to inspire others to live it up. 12/5/21 "Z" Contest, New Or Old - Poetry Constance La France Theme: #8 - Zesty
