I recently met a friend in my condo complex who likes to walk all the time. I enjoy socializing and her company, but sometimes I miss just the zen/meditative solo walks.

Good to know. I have been procrastinating at doing this because I have never enjoyed going to a gym. I will do hard work ie gardening, walking up hills, whatever furniture moving I must do, but I just find weights so boring and monotonous 🙄

💪🧓 🎉 awesome! 🌺

Couple of times a week, about 20-30 minutes. You can do this. I never set foot in a gym, need my own pace and surroundings. I did get good advice about form when I started, from trainer friends. Every task is easier when you're stronger.

@@lizadams7662 Thanks ❣️ I have just researched some different exercise videos to try. We’ll see if it sticks this time?

So precisely put!

Yup! You’re your own boss 😊

Proud of you.

At 73 also tackling jobs as best I can.....Just Do It ......😂😂🌞🌞

Same here at 73. Sometimes get pity for being alone and that is hard because you think something is wrong with you. But this is exactly how I feel too

I am age 75 and caregiver for my husband. Bladder Cancer. For 5 years on this ‘journey’ now I’m doing it all. Last 3 days took 54 screws out of old rotted picnic table. Now disassembled. Boards will be discarded. Base is a plastic and I’ll donate this. Someone else can build a table. He now has more walking room on patio to get around. Limited exercise, but it will help him. We will be married 56 years this coming August. In our marriage vows, I took out the word ‘obey’. 1968. Obedience belongs to God, I told the minister. Not to spousal man. Needless to say, the minister’s jaw dropped! Instead I wrote: love, honor, and ‘agree to disagree’. I also tell all new friendships this: we must ‘agree to disagree’ at times. No argument is worth ruining a friendship (or marriage). I was 18 going to summer university classes after high school graduation when we met. He was 23 out of Viet Nam War. After 2 dates he proposed. I said ‘no’. I wanted my degree. We married 14 months later. I did get the undergrad degree. And MBA. He told me, when he proposed, that I was the most focused person he had ever met. He said that I knew precisely what I was doing. And he wanted ‘that’. We ‘obey’ God’s law; obey the rule of law in our country. Children obey their parents. Military obey commands from superiors to get military functions completed. But must one spouse obey the other. I say ‘no’. We don’t live in the 14th century. Words have intention. Power. Saying ‘no’ sets boundaries. Saying ‘yes’ can open doors to a different path. We all are solo at the end of life. Only one goes through that portal called ‘death’. The rest are left behind to continue for their remaining journey. So in essence, we ALL are solo. As children, we partner with parents, extended family, then teachers. Later it can be with one person. And always we have friendships to some degree. This phrase means: I accept what you said as ‘your logic and personal truth’. I have my own. Let us recognize each other’s differences. You don’t have to ‘buy into’ my belief system. I don’t have to ‘buy into’ yours. Move forward to the next topic. If the other person keeps bringing it up, this is when I initiate my ‘exit strategy’. They are trying to persuade me to be like them, agree with them. They do not recognize me. No. I am me. I don’t have to agree. I don’t have to justify who I am. And neither does anyone else. I grew out of getting permission by age 10. At that point, I was in negotiating tactics. How did I learn this? From my father. He raised me. Little children soak up a lot of what goes on. I was ‘that’ little girl. Stalwart

You are my people! 72 years old and loving being alone. I have been married more than once, but am only happy alone. Heaven. 😊

I will add that she is a great motivator for women 50+. I also started my RU-vid channel from Africa ( one more silver RU-vidr on this planet) 😊

@@my_warm_Africa Congratulations on your new channel! Yes, Jen is inspiring! It’s fun to begin a new venture! I just subscribed to your channel. Love the African fabric prints! Best Regards, Stalwart

Same.

Ditto! ​@@KathyDuncan9

I think this actually takes more courage than simply doing things alone because you're alone. Brava!

I never married or had kids couse I didn't want to be a housewife. No stress of a relationship.

I go camping and travel alone because my husband lives in his workshop.

This sounds ideal and the sort of relationship I'm looking for. No misunderstandings and looking into it deeper than simply wanting some alone time which has always happened in past relationships, my partner thinking I don't like them, but we just had different needs, they wanted to be with me constantly, I needed to have alone time. Sounds like you found your perfect match in that way

Omg! How perfect! I’m sincerely very happy for both of you.

Yay for RU-vid videos!

I am 60 and have been fighting the urge to go to a weekend senior women’s van life meetup in my Honda Pilot - would love tips on how you were able to stay comfortably in an FJ Cruiser as a 60-something! I am somewhat of a minimalist, but if I could actually sleep in my car for even a night - thinking of just doing it in my driveway to see how it goes! What kind of “bed” do you have in your Cruiser?

⁠​⁠@@melanieg284don’t fight it, enjoy it! I’m going to rebuild my vehicle to make it more comfortable for evenings before bed, after learning that being stuck inside during endless rain is no fun, but sleeping in it has never been a problem. I bought a 3-inch thick memory foam sleeping pad that’s on a plywood base. I’m on the smaller side, which might make a difference, but I don’t often feel the plywood under the mattress. It’s 24 inches wide x 70 inches long. I make it up like a normal bed and use a normal bed pillow. My goal with my next rendition it looks lower the bed and make the storage all accessible from inside the vehicle. As I have it now, I need to open the back to access many things. No fun in the rain! Lowering the bed from its current position near the roof will make it usable as a couch. I use a 1000 Jackery for power and have solar panels for it for sunny days if I don’t want to drive all day. I need it to power a refrigerator. I’m also planning to look for a smaller fridge.

Yes she got right to it.

Once went to outlet store with someone I knew, and hour after she dragged me around her likes, hard ready to explode,,never, ever again, I am enough forusrlf thankfully

You can be in a relationship and still be more lonely than if you were single... You're taking care of you, and that's the most important thing in the world! Keep killing it!

Interesting. I’m married and no one tells me what to do either. You can allow others to control you or not. It’s always your decision.

In Nov 2012, I went on a Caravan guided tour to Panama and got to watch the LOCKS operate from on land and on a boat going through them. I loved the “adult field trip” feel. Had plenty of solo relaxing time also. Perhaps, I’ll go to Alaska with them soon.

I love this comment and will be heading to subscribe to your channel💜💜💜
