SPEND THE DAY WITH ME 

Burn out is no joke.... I took care of my mother her last two years, I was absolutely burned out for several years after her passing......I became very isolated and felt very alone...I wish you the very best!

I've been privileged to follow you the last few years. Your life's journey is one of excitement in so many ways. Your love for Joy is so admirable and demonstrative. I know she is thankful she has you in her latter years of life. You've made her world so enjoyable. Glad to hear you are getting "re-charged and re-kindled." I sincerely pray you find your true love (even though this may well be low on your priority list) and will know beyond a shadow of a doubt you've found a partner you can share life with. You're a wonderful gal in so many ways. Chin up, shoulders back, and anticipate what God has for you in the coming days! 🙏

Very relaxing lake. I am 59, and last YEAR I was in burnout like you exactly….i thought there was no OUT of it. Took a whole year of refocusing on me and only me. Not hard but foreign to me as an empty nester single mom for 38 years. Tracy, I’d love to be your friend if I were closer. Hang in there. It does get better. Choosing new hobbies will bring a friend or two. I’m such an introvert so I know I need to get out more but it’s tough! You got this!!

Beautiful sights and very relaxing to watch. I hope you’re feeling more like yourself soon.

Burn out is definitely for real. I am a truck driver. This is my 23rd year driving. I've been to every state but Alaska n Hawaii. I am also diagnosed with depression and adjustment disorder. Your body knows when it's time to slow down and take a break. People can tell you you need to do this orthat but you have to do what Tracy body tells her to do. Take it one day at a time to get back to where you wanna be. We are here supporting you!!

I think it's great your taking care of your mom and spending quality time with her, I see Joy and get tears in my eyes because I miss my mom every day, she passed in 2020 in my care and hospice help, but mainly me, yes it was hard!! Stay strong and enjoy every moment with her 💪💞🙏

Your mom looked so beautiful at lunch! Thank you as always , love your videos! I understand exactly what you are going through, my thoughts are with you and finding your strengths to move forward! 😊❤

Tracy my wife and I are experiencing the same burnout as of this writing. We wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing your life experiences. Your strength and great attitude gives us hope in this difficult journey. We keep telling ourselves it only a season. Keep up your great work. It is appreciated

We love you, Tracey!

I totally get what you are saying! I really try to choose joy daily . Hang in there you’re blessed.

Oh I ❤ you. I’m sorry you’re doing that burn out! Been there, I give it 1 star wouldn’t want to go there again but I suppose it’s a learning experience. I don’t know what I learned other than I wouldn’t recommend. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I so much appreciate you. You have no idea, but watching you heals me. Like when I’m doing anxiety, I watch you and for whatever reason I just feel better. You’re like a little bit of calm in my life. Like a close friend bringing me off the proverbial ledge.,lol. So thank you for being yourself, saying it’s ok to feel all the feels and letting me know it will be ok, just keep going and I love that you remind me that I am magic ❤. You’re magic too❤ we are all magic. (Hug)

Thank you, Tracy for sharing your life with us💕💕❤️

I’m right there with you, burnt out totally this 4 day weekend . Got to get at it tomorrow!🤗

Have a good time running or walking. It should help. I wish I could still run, but my knee won’t let me. At least I’m still able go on long walks. Would you ever like to plan an afternoon meetup for your subscribers in the area? Maybe at a park. Plenty of those around. That would be social. I really liked the music you used today.

For me going to water and taking it all in is the healthiest thing i can do. So glad you did this for yourself. Please do it regularly because under the circumstances you need it. I just ordered the Windone S14 because of your video. It's the cheaper one though. I couldn't believe the price! I live close to the water of Puget Sound in WA (specifically Port Susan), and i can take it to the water and have fun there. Im so excited and can't wait to receive it! 💚

Nice, calm day. You needed it.

Thank you for sharing your day with us Tracy. Hope you are back to feeling better soon. ❤ Would love to see you make the earrings, maybe you can add that in sometime. Take care

Good morning Tracey. I am so touched by your testimony. I am in the exact same situation. You described precisely what I am going through. I have been watching tons of van life videos for years and a few weeks ago I decided to do a simple conversion of Lexus SUV and did a 9 days tour of Gaspé in Quebec. I am improving my setup and looking forward to my next solitude trip. I am thinking of leaving in fall to cross Canada from Quebec to British Colombia and do the West Coast for winter. I can’t wait but have to. Get well.

Enjoyed today’s video. Thank you for sharing your day with us. My happy place is when I am out for a walk or hike, this is what brings me joy. I try to get out a few times a week for a 4 mile walk. My favorite time is early morning 5:00am. I love the quiet and watching the sunrise. Have a great week Tracey!!

I suffered from burnout. NO MORE. I take it easy. I have hobbies that I do when I feel like it. I go to bible study. I also love making earrings. Doing nothing is not wasted time. It’s a must.

Thanks for your positive thoughts and attitude!🤗

Lake was beautiful! Your Mom is so blessed to have you! ❤

Thank you for sharing. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one going through the burnouts .

You do you! Make it joyful for you. I was hoping you would bring us to that white copula. I really enjoyed the music choice and the cinema skills in this one. I felt like I could be there. Thank You! Hey I'm a Jenny too!

What a beautiful park! Such a great place to relax and walk. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Two things that I did in the Twin Cities besides raise my children was to walk around Lake Nokomis every day and when it rained I went to mall of America. I didn’t spend any money there I just walked around the floors and enjoy different aspects of the place without materialistic goals. It made a difference. now I live in a tiny town called battle Lake in Minnesota up here and it is the biggest dead end I have ever encountered besides living in North Dakota. I guess I really like larger populations because you can find more people that are more like minded. My van sits in the parking lot waiting for an influx of TLC. My health is in flux and I can only do so much at a given time so I’m doing what I can. My only goal right now is just to get out of here and get to Mayo Clinic and see if I have a chance to move forward. I really do have the faith to believe that I do and so I try to stay positive and look up.

When running don’t fall down it’s hard to get back up ! But there’s lots of interesting things to look at ( ground level )

💜 sending you a hug and love… Burnout… I’m there right now with you. I’m another Minnesota girl who hit my wall really hard back in March. And it is a long and sometimes lonely journey. But you are correct even though we can relate to one another, we have to do this on our own time and healing. Wishing you peace as you walk this journey and have the healing you need. Thank you so much for sharing your walk with us. It was beautiful. I find that those sorts of adventures in nature are what really helps me the most. Self-care now… We all have so much on our plates and we put ourselves last most of the time… Do what you need to do… I think it’s extra heart hard when we are extroverted individuals who really thrive on relationships and interactions with others. When all of a sudden you just don’t even have the energy left for yourself… Take care!

Years ago now, I went through hospice care for my mom and recall how debilitating that was for me and then some years later taking care of my Dad the last 18 months or so of his life through his dementia and recall how I felt afterwards and still do sometimes. Burnout is real for sure.

I was hoping you would ask!

A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO WITH MUST ❤❤❤❤ I KNOW HOW TOU FEEL TRACEY. WE ALL GET TIMES WE FEEL * BURNT OUT*🎉 THINGS WILL GET BETTER🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 LOVE FROM SCORCHING CALIFORNIA ❤❤❤

Wishing you a Good day tomorrow.

Love the thumbnail photo. You are so pretty!

Hang in there beautiful lady ! Great video . Take care of yourself ☮

Have you thought about scuba diving in lake Michigan? There are a few ships to see.

Wow Tracy, this was lovely. Hi Joy.😊

Music was real mellow thank you for sharing.

Hello from the heart ❤️ of Illinois USA 🇺🇸. Monday I'm taking Minnie Pearl, my white cat, like Joy's Olivia ( hi Joy & Olivia) , to the vet for her one year rabies shot. She's a big scardy cat and will fight me the whole time. I probably will get a few scratches from the battle, she has her claws and they're very sharp. I didn't do anything for the 4th of July but my neighbors did enough fireworks for all of us, no kidding. LOL 🤣 Take care of yourself TracEy. This too shall pass. {{{ Hugs}}} 🤗 & prayers 🙏

My weeks always had events in being active 😁. But when you just say to yourself, 'chill down & just breathe' .....your mind is not 🥴. P.S. tranquility floral lakefront you've shared including mom Joy, nice Tracey ✌️☮️

Gday Tracey (with an "e") from your mate in Australia. Take a break. Take time off. Relax. Life on the road should reduce stress. Are you financially ok? Yes, socialise. If you have the opportunity to meet new friends...go for it. (Listen to your gut and only meet new people in busy public places, carry mace/pepper spray). I've been living in my van for the last year. Travelling solo has its ups and downs. Plus, I've been kept in one place since November 2023. Getting improvements and repairs completed on my old Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. She's a trusty mobile home. 1998 model with over 400000km (about 250000 miles) on the odometer. Say hi to Joy for me. Love you both as you feel like the sister I should have had, and Joy the Mum I should have had. Big hugs from me to you.

Hugs and kisses to you, Tracey. A good snuggle helps with burnout. !!! 😉✌️❤️😎

Hey Tracey great video with you in the park.... looks like you had a good day....see on the next one....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow joy looks great take care....❤❤❤❤❤

I enjoyed ur video.And the music was perfect! We all do have our own personal journey. Blessings to you. Your honesty, openess, & knowledge will guide you along the way.

Joy is so beautiful and so are you; hang in there Tracy, I kinda know how you feel.

I wish you were in Tucson. We’d be bff’s. I don’t have any friends here to do anything with. I have an RV but I get bored sometimes always being alone. But I do like me so there’s a plus. You will be ok. Just like I hope I will be

You stay! 🌹❣️🤗

Burnout is like the last mile of a life marathon-- one step at a time

Relaxation mode, beautiful scenery, & Joy beautiful as always❤😊😊

❤ Joy

I'm in a funk too Tracey

Thanks for your beautiful video I turn 74 today and I think I will go for supper in front of the lake tonight

Scenery good from here

What about a meet and greet.

I am 52(53 next month), I experienced burn out in 2012 from working too hard as a writer and trying to raise 2 toddlers alone even though I had a second husband who insisited he wanted to be an active father since he had never had kids(I had 2 kids ages 16 and 19 then), so only wanted more kids because he said he wanted them and would help. It was all too much for my unmedicated ADHD brain, my ptsd, and my anxiety. I almost was hospitalized. Instead I left him and got some help from other resources. I am still unable to write for a living anymore though which is sometimes upsetting since I have been a writer for my entire life(started with journal writing as a kid and then I wrote kids picture books and mystery novels later in life). I turned to coloring as therapy instead. I now make coloring books I sell on Amazon and am feeling much happier. It is a long road but you have to do what you need to do to recover and stay healthy. Thanks for sharing!

❤❤❤

Enjoying your video from ohio, you are a really nice lady

Hello Tracy❤

Not sure why I thought of fortune cookies when I saw the title.

❤ get you a little piece of land for a home base.and a she shed.😊😊😊

😍

Allow yourself to be human. Everyone needs to throttle back sometimes :)

It is kind of you to so gently explain to the givers of advice and judgment, that it is your life rather than theirs. But it's futile. It might be better to just give them the finger so they unsubscribe. Critics will criticize, advice givers will give unsolicited advice, the judgmental will judge, and the narcissists will truly not understand you doing things differently than they would. Their brains are wired to assume they are right, so they view their job is to figure out what is wrong with the rest of us. As a RU-vidr, it is impractical to weed out all imperfect subscribers, or there's be nobody left, which must be frustrating. I have great confidence in your ability to manage your life, regardless of how many ups and downs get thrown at you. Or even if you create some yourself, though I personally don't see you making any big-picture mistakes in your life. Not in the entire time I've followed you, just a little while before you met Keith and John. Or maybe right when you did, and maybe I went back to watch some previous videos, it's kind of blurry as to when I first watched each RU-vidr versus what I soon went back and watched to catch myself on on what their deal was.

Hello tracy&joy 🎊🎈🎊💯💔👠

wunderbar

Enjoyed your video and spending the day with you. Wondering…. Is Joy your mom and if so, why do you call her by name and not mom?

💋❤️🔥💯

🐨 ❤ 🙏 🪄

You seem you got a facial massage 😃

I've had that to. It was awful. Hang in there, it will take as long as it needs to.😮

That was a nice pollinator garden near the lake 👌🌻🪻🌾. Since the pandemic, I started biking and walking and also lifting weights. Great stress reliever and mood booster. Good luck with the running! 👍💪 ..

I would love to...

Hi,! JOY,! HI,!Tracie.! Burn-Out, Bucket list. 🪣 Good idea. Scared, Bucket list.?
