My poems are written from the perspective of a woman being closer to the end than to the beginning! Aging is not for the faint hearted but I wouldn’t miss it for all the tea in China! I’m one of the lucky ones, I’m still here!
Feeling empowered in my defiant stand against the day's progression (chores await 😮) as I stay in my pajamas a bit long this morning to listen and agree wholeheartedly. 🌞✨
It is no wonder we struggle with trust on the individual basis when your observation is accurate in there not being the same honor in a handshake now. Sending all the best 💖🌞✨
I feel the same way nash I am not a fan of social media to many traumas and dramas going on in some podcasts. I always say to my family don’t go looking for the drama , just sit and mind your own business and the drama will come to you one doesn’t have to go looking for it.
Love a good waffle, hope you are well. You have me thinking now about trust on a handshake. I know it used to be that way back in the day but nowadays not so much. We were in the building industry, life was less complicated then. Everything has changed now, some for the good some not so good. Let’s hope it all works out well in the end.
It‘s sad, but many people are not aware that there‘s nothing „social“ about these media! They can be a source of fake, betrayal, mobbing etc especially for young people who are not informed enough of the „dark“ sides of the internet…
I love this poem! I am not a fan of social media, it feels too fake and puts pressure on people to only ever show their best side. I like to see the reality of people, good and bad, and not just the polished version they put on show for the world ❤
I thought I'd share this with you, it's something I wrote recently after being inspired to write again from your videos! It's not really about me or anyone in particular, but it just resonated with me for some odd reason… I don't have to change the world, leave a legacy, or achieve something grand in order to lead a fulfilling life; what do I want to be when I grow up? Kind
I left my dads house when I was 20 to get married, with husband and kids until the kids left home, then my mother came to live with us, then my husband,passes away, then my mother passed away…for over 70 years I wasn’t alone…now it has been 5 years and I am alone… I love it…not having to explain to anyone, can do whatever I want…eat at whatever time I feel like it… I am never lonely (had my share of togetherness) my freedom has lifted my spirits no end…
@@theriverberrypoet I understand that, my husbands death was very sudden and it took me two years to accept it, those two years are lost to me, I don’t think I was mentally stable, certainly did a lot of strange things when I look back on it now…
@@LorraineYork I’m sure it was just putting one foot in front of another and plodding through those dark days. Coping as best you could with the grief and ever constant cloud surrounding you. And you did survive. Love to you🙏🏻❤️
What a lovely story about the peas on the floor. Love listening to you reminisce but a journal as one ages is a great idea not only for your thoughts but for your healthcare also. Hope all is going ok with you we are having so cold weather in WA spring and winter are having a battle winter is not going without a fight.
@@karendavidson4897 Thankyou for your lovely comments! Yes we too are having a late spring, in Victoria and although we’ve just had a few beadays today is damp, shame for school holidays!🙏🏻❤️
When I walk I try to make eye contact with people, some will smile, others do anything not to see you, it used to upset me, now I just bless them and keep walking,…who knows what is going on in their lives, everyone has a story…
Many years of sleepless nights. At 65, I now get up make a hot lemon and honey drink and do some hand sewing or watch a bit of TV. I don't fight it any longer. I do hope you have more sleep then "sleepless" nights from now on. Love your reading glasses!
@@dianepaulin5324 I’m not quite so accepting as you appear to be! The glasses are fun aren’t they! My last pair were real old lady’s glasses…which my husband ‘helped’ me buy! This time i went on my own and haven’t regretted it at all! 😂🙏🏻❤️
@@willowgrove631 for me I sleep better at night when I have that nap! I’m like the babies who are overstimulated without their sleeps through the day. I can manage without but so much better with! Good luck!🙏🏻❤️
I couldn’t survive without my afternoon nap…being a bad sleeper, it’s strange I can nod off after my lunch with no trouble….i think I was an owl in a past life…
T hat brings up a lovely memory for me…my dad was a baker and he would sit in the kitchen before he went to work, I should have been asleep, but I would get up and sit on his knee…he was probably drinking tea, I loved those times, I would have been 6 or 7…
I am going to try this…I am very grateful to this old body of mine that has got me here in spite of the abuse I have given it over the years….grateful for you and I look forward to listening to you each day, thank you…❤
Thank you for your wise words. I will give it a go with the mirror. On this cold, wet autumn day it is lovely to see the spring blossoms in your sunny garden.
@@lynnwaters I’m hoping this idea works for you and glad you’re enjoying our Spring. I’m not too keen on very cold and damp or the heat that descends before too long!🙏🏻❤️
What a wonderful lady you are! Happy that your channel popped up on RU-vid by chance, I love listening to your kind, wise words! Kindest regards from Austria/Europe, you have a new subscriber! A.M.
I found your channel a few days ago. I appreciate very much your calm voice and words of wisdom. I am approaching my 70th birthday and am quite agitated by how fast life has gone by. One of your videos talked about not focusing on past mistakes or regrets because there's nothing to do about it now anyway. So true; I need to stop focusing on those things but it's hard.
