      Dear Kate, sending healing hugs. So sorry about your dad. Sunshine is so soothing and healing - I think we humans are solar powered...I always have so much more energy and are so much more productive on sunny days. Today here where I am in Canada it is sunny and I'm about to do the mid-winter clean of my chimney. Definitely upsides to not having a wood stove! Glad you are being gentle on yourself. Wishing you a peaceful, soul-filling and prosperous year!

    So sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my dad about 4 years ago. The year he passed I spent the entire summer in their backyard in a pop up camper, It's basically a glorified tent. I knew the time was getting close and because I live 500 miles away from them I left my vintage booth in the hands of some wonderful co workers and camped. I will never regret that time. He passed 3 weeks after I got back home. I also adore the thrift store I go at least once a week. As far as the sun, it's the same here as you. I'm in Western PA and because of lake Erie the clouds move in for the winter, so I know exactly how you feel when the sun comes out. I just love your Charlie fur baby he is such a love. Prayers for your healing both mentally and physically.

      No matter how old we are, the loss of a parent is devastating. My dad passed at 94 when I was in my 60s and I realized I had moved to the front of the line so to speak. Now, in my mid 70s I take the good and the bad, the sunny and cloudy as they come, treasuring each one. I pray you find peace this winter regardless of the weather.

But he prepared me , so although I miss him everyday, I was able to deal with the fact he had a long and happy life. I hope your friends, family and Charlie all help you traverse this sad time.

    So sorry to learn you lost your dad :( I lost mine 3 mos. after I lost my mom. It was a really sad time but now when I'm sad I just think of how lucky I was to have such great parents who gave me so so so many wonderful memories. Glad you had a chance to soak in the sun. There is nothing better :) Charlie is doing so good with the hoop. I have a little boy Chihuaha too. Mine is Chico. I decided to buy a hoop after seeing how much Charlie loves his. Chico has a poodle little sister named GiGi and she is the one who seems to really enjoy the hoop. Fingers crossed she will start doing as well as Charlie soon :) Can't' wait to see your next video they are so relaxing and the scenes so beautiful :)

    Hi Kate. I am so sorry about your father's passing. I think it's so hard to see our source of strength growing up start to age and become weak, frail and sick. One thing that helped me is to keep a picture of my folks on my nightstand by my bed. I'm grateful you have friends to love and support you right now. Charlie is so cute and the closeup shots you show of him are just precious. Nature is a great healer and I love being outside too. Thrifting brings me pleasure and great joy too! I think it's the thrill of the hunt. During this healing time of your life, get plenty of rest and be gentle with yourself. Life is so short. Just enjoy each day . I am sending you a big hug from Texas. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you! 😌

    "Every little thing you can do to bring you comfort" IS the thing you need to do for yourself during, this; your sad time. I am so sorry for your loss. When I heard this and watched your young face, I began to tear up. The loss of a parent can turn one inside out. The world suddenly becomes unfamilar, raw, and lonely. So glad you had the fortitude to reach out to your friends. Having deep feelings is a part of the artist in you, and although sometimes wreaks havoc with your health, is a gift. Cherish yourself, the part in you that holds your father forever, and keep on eating those healthy foods, thrifting, and giving yourself up to the sun! Love, Liz

    Your videos are so soothing, even when you are feeling low. I started watching late last night and once realising the topic, put it on hold to watch this morning. It deserved my full awake attention. So even though sad, treating myself to watching with my morning cup of coffee was a blessing. Your ability to recognise and practise gratitude is beautiful, particularly in challenging times. And so very helpful. Know that you help others feeling down with your thoughtfulness. Hugs from France. (And so going to see if I can find that film.)

    I am so sorry too to hear of the passing of your Father. So pleased that you have your friends, and little Charlie, close by, to help you through this difficult changing time in your life, and that you could be out in wonderful nature, to help you heal. I too have been in a lot of physical pain since January, with one thing after another, but I do my best to keep going, and although it hurts at the moment to walk my Madge, it is so lovely to get out in the fresh air, and use all of my senses to enjoy nature. It has been a challenge living on my own with Madge, with the various things I have had, but I have got this far, so hope I can keep going?! I love your soft, calm videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your life with us all, and keep healthy and happy. Love to you and little Charlie, from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx

    I'm so very sorry for your loss. Next month it will be 31 years since my father passed. He was 50 when I was born, and I was fortunate to have him as long as I did. My beloved mom passed in 2015, and my brother in 2021. You are right about this being a time of healing and being gentle with yourself...I had a knee replacement at the end of September, and was supposed to have the other knee done next month. Because the surgeon is so busy, I can't have it done until May. I had goals and plans that centered around getting it over with in March. I've had to give myself grace, not only to wait, but because I'm in pain and can't do all the things I want to. So I'm having more of a me-centered time and doing things I love...reading, writing, cross-stitching, loving on my cats, and planning my garden...even if someone else will have to do the planting! And of course, thrifting...with a walker. Please be gentle with yourself. You don't get over grief, but you do get through it...at your own pace. Hugs to you.

    Oh my did our universes collide in the last week or so; I lost my mother on January 29. While she was 88, it was not expected and unfortunately I was across the country from her. I am, like you, relying on nature and slowing down to heal. I started at first to lean heavily into work, but that wasn’t helping so I’m taking whatever time I need, whether it be bereavement leave, sickness absence, or vacation. Bless you and your late father; your video was like a godsend to me tonight.❤Karen

    Oh, Kate, my sincere condolences on the passing of your father. May he rest in peace, and may his ever-healing presence be close to you whenever you are in need of it.
    We too are finally luxuriating in the warmth of Sunlight here in Athens Greece. Temperatures did not go down to freezing this winter, which means most of us never turned on indoor heating. We often dressed with more layers indoors than we did out of doors. Winter brings a different way of life wherever you are.
    Bravo, Charlie - the Champion Hoop Jumper! Many hugs to you both! And thank heaven for the Love of friends. 🥰 -V

    I’m so sorry for your father’s passing, Kate. I am thinking of you, as I’m sure all of us are, who subscribe and so appreciate your presence in our lives. I’m sending a warm embrace. Just be sure to nurture your needs and call upon your wonderful friends when you need some comfort and company. I recommend my all time favorite funny movie that I’ve seen at least a dozen times: Uncle Buck starring John Candy. Your grief will heal in its right way and time, and can’t be forced. Missing him means that he is with you always and his love is embracing you still. Be well and take good care of your heart. 💜

    So sorry for the loss of your dad. Losing a parent or anyone close to you is traumatic emotionally as well as physically. Finding a sense of peace and comfort is key to getting through these times and different for everyone. Be kind to yourself and find peace. I love your sweet little dog. I do believe that our pets sense when we are sad and seem to want to be especially close at these times.

    14:05 Kate, sorry to hear about the challenges you have faced, recently, getting into nature is the best therapy.
    I have started walking a lot, because if you, with Rudy, I am, also, doing chair excersizing from a morning program on TV and I am going to thrift stores to find the thrill of buying something! You are influencing me in making me aware of my own health, and so, I am taking time for it.
    I can't wait to share, with you, that I bought some items at Habitat for humanity: a lovely wing chair, 3 matching square tables, a 1950's old school desk, and a rice paper divider.
    I have been so excited with my treasures.
    I prefer thrift items, now, and love shabby chic items, now, in my home. New stuff no longer interests me.
    How would have thought.
    You are having a positive influence in my life, which consists of caregiving, schedules, and depression.
    Thank you for taking time to share your life, ups and downs included.
    I don't feel , so, alone.
    I can't wait for Spring, and like you, we are enjoying some beautiful, sunny, mild days.
    I was at Tim Horton's earlier for a break. The sun was pouring in the car.
    I got to take two good walks, this morning, in different locations. Rudy enjoyed them.
    Please let your spirits soar. You are such a ray of sunshine, and we love you for who you are.
    Visit with us again soon.
    Love to you and Charlie.

    My heart hurts for you. Lost my Father many years ago, it gets easier as time passes. Just know that he's always with you. The body passes away, but the spirit goes on. You will find times where he touches your life and you will know it's him.
    Sending you the biggest hug!!

    I believe that our bodies reflect our inner emotions. Loss is so difficult and we need to take special care of ourselves ..... to be gentle with ourselves and find a sense of continuity and peace. I am just now walking the last fragile days with a life time friend who is slowly slipping away.

    I'm sorry about the loss of your father. I lost my mother a year ago. I understand how you're feeling as she was my girlfriend too. I so miss getting to talk to her. We all go through dark time, but the best thing is not to stay there long. You are beautiful inside and out, and you are loved by many. ❤ I love all thrifting videos, seeing what different stores have. I'm sending you lots of hugs XXXX🫂 XXXX. God bless you!!

I’m glad u have friends to console you and I love that u are being gentle on urself. Glad u have ur puppy and glad ur still taking care of urself. My heart is with urs as daughter s who lost fathers. The hole will fill up as u heal, mine is. I encourage you to keep being kind to urself, keep the goals u can keep, and enjoy the sun and ground urself with the trees and nature. I’m Native and the sun in the early morning is good to look at. Sage is good to smell too. Walk lightly and ur cabin is filled with everything you love. Sending love and healing to you from the west coast to the east coast! ❤🙏🏽

    Dear, sweet Kate. I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your father. It is precious when you can be surrounded in quiet and the tender embrace of treasured friends. Loving kisses from Charlie are definitely an added healing benefit. Interesting...I was just reading about Ritual vitamins this morning (Sunday) when searching for a top brand. I needed a supplement my provider does not have at the moment. How great they are sponsoring you.
    Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is such a fun movie! That, plus thrifting, must have given your spirits a little lift! Charlie is doing great with his training! He must be quite proud of himself. 🎉 Continue with your self-care and soothing your mind, soul & spirit. No apology required for the sun & shadows. Quite depicting of this time in your life.
    Holding you in my heart. ❤
