I stopped working a year ago. I am focusing on gratitude for every day I'm here. I trust in God and myself and appreciate my life and where I am. I really don't care about what others think of me anymore. Thank you for this thoughtful video.
Awwwww. I adore you. You’re so right. Those tv shows back in 40’s and 50’s….nothing like my life. I’ll be 77 in a few months. Only child..single parent…lots of struggles and heartache and hardships. Never remarried. Helped raise my 5 grandchildren, while working a hectic job, after my youngest her daughter passed from heart issues. Helped care for my mom when my dad passed at 44 yrs old(heart issues on both sides of family). I was 16 yrs old and working3 days a week after school and just trying to get my mom out of her deep depression. I was grieving also…but cried alone. I’m used to being on my own now. No help from son in law. No help from my ex. Worked hard and also fostered and adopted several dogs and cats from puppy mills and homeless shelters. Family, my pets, my work….they all came first. Now I sleep in. Live in a mobile home and am happy. Would be happier if I could drive (I lose balance and depth perception, have neuropathy issues in arms and legs, some days feel exhausted, but I get up to feed my inside cats and outside fur critters). For 13 yrs I’ve been alone. Oldest grandson shows up when he’s in trouble…finally has a job..but I wish he’d get the heck out. He’s in my way..tho he tries not to get in my way. Out of all grandkids,all doing ok…except him. I love him but it’s like living with a 6 yr old sometimes. Never has money or helps with rent or bills. I miss driving…but I’m fine alone..with my cats..reading..doing chores…watching nature videos, etc…rest of family relocated. That’s ok. My older daughter lives in next town over. Son in law owes me close to $150;000, but I haven’t seen him for 3 yrs. He’s remodeled his home and is driving a 2024 Audi and has a new young girlfriend. I raised his children…while he drank too much. I had a 2010 Chevy cobalt. My daughter has it. She was afraid I’d get in car and drive… and I don’t want to hurt or, God forbid, kill anyone. I see barely no one..ever. Yet I’m at peace. I’m happy. I’ve never not cared for someone…even as a child. I’ve got 10outside feral cats left. They have warm shelters filled with straw. They get fresh water and fresh food every day. In winter I warm up their cat food with some broth. They all know and trust me. Raccoons and opossums come late at night. They love the dry cat kibble. I think I’m a born empath and a loner. And that’s ok. I’ve done the best I could, my entire life, to try to help others. Sometimes it worked..sometimes not. But I tried. I move as much as I’m able every day. No one helps me..unless I fall down and hurt myself. Then my daughter drops by after work to see if I’m ok. I usually am. Doing the best we can, Lindy. That’s all we can do. And, be at peace…and be content.(which we both are). You are so wise and cute and you’re ‘right’ about everything you stated. I do love you. And Marley. You keep doing what you’re doing. So will I. Much light, love, peace and prayers to you, Marley and your family…and your subscribers…and all beings. 🫶💫💫💫🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✌🏻. Thank you, Lindy. Take care. 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Hello there I think your kindness shines through the way you feed all the animals is amazing outstanding thankyou I'm sure you've done your best try to be kind to yourself sleep in do things you enjoy I wish you the best
Great share, Lindy! I'm 72, and although my body is "elderly", my spirit still feels like that immature 20 year old kid who didn't have a lot figured out in life! I finally retired this year, and I am finally searching for better understanding of what drives me - for better or worse. If there were one thing I could change right now, it's letting my husband's opinion of what I'm doing affect me. I'm working on that - learning to say, "I understand that you don't want me ________, but I'm going to do it anyway." It's really hard. I'm a real people pleaser, but we are running out of time.
Its about enjoying the ride and caring for each other. Acceptance is worth more than Ego. Its good we cannot foresee our future....in the end we will die anyway. Might as well try to experience some nice moments. Looking at the sky, a tree, flowers, the birds...
Ive moved out of the country and my quality of life in South America far exceeds the life I had in Florida. The cost of living in Florida was unsustainable for me after 27 years. Today I had a $7 haircut and shampoo. A huge lunch for $7 and bought a weeks worth of food for under $50. Yep, there are still places like this, just not in Florida.
Very nice! We left Florida oct 2023. I lived there 64 years, most of my life. They've ruined it! We live in the high desert now surrounded by beautiful mountains. We experience so many wonderful things here. It's quiet too and we feel safe. Best wishes to you.
Hello Lindy, I enjoyed watching your video. It's snowing and I'm in my PJs! Love the nails! I'm married to a New Yorker. He taught me not to be so trusting. You are absolutely right, at your age you can do whatever you want, so do it! Pet Marley for me.
Yes, 77 and trudging along. We all have our multiple struggles. Best things in life are dogs and a friend or two and do what ever you want to do. Don't let anyone control you or your decisions for yourself. Best wishes Lindy !
Hi Lindy: You have made good points in this video. I have loved hearing your life story videos. What an interesting life you’ve led! It looks to me that you are happy and thriving. As I have said before, ignore the unsolicited advice and keep on doing you. Take care!
I really enjoyed this video and your 'story'. I retired at around 56yo. I'm only 58yo now. Don't have much but enough to get by. And my Faith, precious that is! Mainly care for my aging parents; to be available for them. Its been best decision. So thankful for them.
Really enjoyed your video today. I could identify with a lot of it but am always afraid to share much because some people are so judgmental. You are looking good. I am also 77 and have many problems to contend with as we all do. I always say It's different for each of us but no one leaves this world unscathed.
Been away from your videos far too long! I forgot how much sense you make and how wise you are. Gotta reconnect and follow you more. Thanks for being you! Have a good one and stay safe out there.
Massive hugs 🤗 you are looking so well today and yes, we love to give advice but in my particular defense, I am concerned for you, which is a natural response after such major surgery. Keep healing and I'm loving your videos.
You crack me up.:) You speak common sense, at least to my ears, but things that seem to evade a lot of people, especially those who blindly live by unnatural societal constructs that kill the human spirit and discourage individuality..
Hello Lindy. You look pretty this morning. I loved listening to your thoughts, ideas, and life. Life ain't easy, you are right there. I realized years ago that no year is great! Every year has it's ups and downs, they're just different. It amazes me how people survive their tough hours, me included. The storms do pass, and we survive 99%. It's amazing! Lately, we are worried about what's to come from the govt we've been dealt with come 2025. We're old and our choices are limited. I wake up now at 3 a.m. not just to pee (tmi) but can't get back to sleep. My mind worries. It's hard at the holidays--so many expectations, demands, and people we miss. But you just wake up, get your coffee, and go about your day. We're alive. And whatever the day brings, we hopefully survive it. 99% we do. Enjoy your day, sweetheart, and kiss Ms. Marley an extra kiss for me. She's so adorable. Take care.❤❤
I have missed many videos due to personal reasons. I am 70. I am blessed to be a mom and a grandmom, mom of 5, grandmom to 5. One of my grown kids will not speak to me and said for me to not contact her. It is heartache. I have an ILD with scar tissue that won't get better. I want to enjoy my many blessings and trust God will heartaches and health. God bless us this Christmas.
Sue this is the worst time for those with friction. All I can say is to keep praying and believing it will work out. What about your other 4. Don't they count. The majority are talking to you maybe give them the focus and the time Just a suggestion you are so blessed to have them
I pray I have your strength and stamina at 77 as you do. I saw something interesting from dr Joe Dispenza. Women on their own are significantly happier and the more we remain independent and solve our problems ourselves the more we create new neural pathways. But yes we single women have lower cortisol ( stress hormone) levels and other significant changes for the good. I have enjoyed getting to know you through your channel and as I’ve said you are way more brave than I am but I’m becoming braver each day 👍😊🙏🏼💕❤️⛄️🐈and I do get dressed more often than I did because it is true that it’s better to get dressed each day. Better to believe that something exciting will happen today and I don’t want to be in my PJ’s when it arrives. Thanks again for sharing 💕🙏🏼🎏🎄⛄️
I watched the Brady Bunch when I was a kid to escape reality. I got married in the living room of my in-laws with flowers from the front yard in jeans and a blouse. I divorced 3 years later. … You’re awesome Lindy… really enjoyed this. 🫶🏼
I like hearing about how you dont live a conventional life. I love to travel never bought a house, staying in one place and one job for life wasnt for me, probably made life more difficult for myself but also more interesting. I like how you have the courage to do your own thing and make a cosy home that suits you even though its not an easy life. looking forward to that tesla adaptor review
Well I have to say I pretty much agree with what you are saying Lindy. I have a few things I would like to do, and there are those that say I should not. But, you are right. It's the right time in our lives to make our decisions based upon what we dream of doing. You've started the senior revolution!😀🥰
I got married in my parents living room. Montgomery Wards white Gunnie Sax country looking skirt & blouse. Finger sandwichs & potatoe salad & a cheap ring from Kmart 😆 We only had around 20 guests & my Dad figured out exactly how many glasses of champagne to serve so everyone only got one glass. I married into Irish & my parents didn't want any trouble LMAO 🤣🥂🍾 My husband passed in 2020 & the young woman at our senior center & i were cracking up because I said i can do whatever i want even wash dishes at midnight naked 😆 She said her husband works long times away from home & she does dishes naked when she wants to also 🤣 Its been a damn long hard life, but I'm glad im still here & feel I've earned my age. I know right away if i meet another senior & they mention their age 65-80 years young instead of saying old they are someone I'm not going to get along with because they are fighting their wonderful age & maturity. You look wonderful & I'm so happy you are recovering from your heart surgery so well🤍 Seasons Greetings & a very Happy New Year! 💚❤️🌲🦌❤️💚 🥂🍾
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 I should have said: I'm surprised to be alive😆 I'm not exactly happy about it everyday though in all honesty. It's just that when I was a little girl I volunteered at an old folks home. Man alive they were grumpy & depressed except for a couple of ladies & they were a riot & a pleasure to serve & listen to. So I vowed right then & there that when I get old I'm gonna embrace it with gusto and be like the 2 fun old ladies!!🤗 One dream I actually accomplished🫤🤦🏼🤷🏼 LoL 😆 It's been far more hard then fun to be honest. I'm not at all happy with the aches, pains & I'm so physically weak now, but I have a good attitude in public or with customer service on the phone & it always goes smooth & I hear all the time: Thank you for being so patient & you've been a pleasure to wait on. Don't get me wrong I can be damn snarly, bitter, whiney, impatient or worse at home alone, but when I finally HAVE to leave my house or call CS or deal with anybody else 🫣 It always goes good 😊 👍🏼 I became off the charts high anxiety & depressed since 1989 when my Mom passed. I was trapped in a seriously volatile DV marriage 38 years I couldn't escape no matter how much I tried & that's all I can say about that or I'll start disassociating & the CPTSD will kick in. Don't ever unknowingly marry a sociopath that's all I have to say to everybody 🫣 Then I found out as a grandma 2011 I'm autistic which I was relieved to find out because I "had been" easy pickins for manipulative people thus never seeing any red flags before it was way too late 🤷🏼 Anyways I've been trying to face & heal all my trauma the last 4 years. According to my therapist I'm doing very well for what I've been through although I expected to be healed more by now because nobody is threatening my life anymore the last 4 years. My therapist says it's like I've just gotten out of a prison camp after 38 years & healing all that doesn't come overnight❤️🩹 People always say to me you're very funny for being a depressed person🤔 I'm going to thank my sense of humor for sticking with me through it all🤍🤞🏼 Sorry to have rattled on so much. Even though our stories are different I feel the same: It's MY Life now & I can do anything I want my own way now & that's great & also scary to me🫤 Seasons Greetings 💚❤️🦌🌲❤️💚 & Have a most wonderful New Year, Your Way Lindy🤍🤗🤍
Thank yiu so much lindy, fir the up lifting thoughts. I'm a 77 year young widower ,living out of my van ,and work partime to get a tad more financially stable, and get lots of questionable looks as to why I'm living like i am?? I. Sure you can relate. Stay strong and safe,keep up the good work. Your an inspiration . PS. I watched leave it to beaver last night😅..lol.. Take care....mark from eastern oregon..
Yes, life passes so fast, I'm 75, worked hard all my life, now my family is scattered, I'm here alone....so much I've let slip away working two jobs raising my kids, where did that time go....
I have had people ask “why don’t you live with one of your sons!” OR “ I can’t believe your son doesn’t take you in!” I tell them I want to live on my own.
You have made a great point. I was a systems kid. I grew up being fed social constructs as truth. These constructs were not my truth. Extended family? Notta. Holidays with the kids? Notta. Enjoy the grandchildren? Notta. I accept that my life as it is. I have been able to check things off my bucket list, and my health is good. It was good to hear you voice something similar.
Well you are making me think......i'm 75 and had a health scare this autumn. I need to do mire in 2025, so i've decided to deck my car/mini van up for nights out at the beach with my dogs. I cannot go touring yet as i have several old cats and 2 llamas! And they mean a lot to me so i will not get rid of them so i can be selfish. But nights at the beach in summer will be good, and mean i'm not driving too far there and back in one day. The Spanish border is only an hour away! So plans for the next 6 months.
Haha, I feel all our media and movies etc. are just trying to "sell" us. Sorry, I'm not buying 🌞. At our age, we thrive on our solitude & freedom. We're still Americans after all ! 👍 Rock on 🙂.
Oh Lindy, I love you! Merry Christmas. I've been married by a Judge, another Judge, a Justice of the peace and I can't remember who officiated at my last wedding. LOL! I'm a mid 60's with health issues too. I'm going to end up with Alzhiemers due to inherited genes. I am hoping to "go out" with a heart attack as that is a problem too, Stiff Heart. I don't know how to tell my kids to put me down if I become incapacitated. BUT!? What does that look like and can they do it? You know Lindy, millions of American people may be living the Nomadic life soon, more than the millions that already are. Remember the horror scenes where people are forced out of the cities due to some disaster and the roads are clogged with vehicles? Or the mobile cravans in Independance Day? The world is getting like that. Ever hear the old Cristy Lane song. One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, thats all I'm asking from You. Just give me the strength to do every day what I need to do......
Euthanasia is legal in many states. I told my husband that if I have dementiaso bad that I can't do anything both be alive to please have me euthanized. I've taken care of some dementiacluents and it's really sad for them and their families. They are scared because they can't grasp who or where they are. 😢
So let me get this straight here, when I turn 77 I will be allowed to drive out of town? Things just get better and better every day. I'm going to do what I've always done. Find a way to make it work. The world is full of nice people. Can't find one then be one. If I end up in a van, so be it.
May I ask what county are you registered in CA? You should have more help from both the state and the VA. At 77 you are looking great. I agree that at this age, who cares what we want to do to enjoy our lives.
I am 72. I never deny my age because I earned every year. I look at each year being one year closer to Heaven. Even though my body at times feels old my mind does not. When someone ask me my age sometimes I have to think! My other problem seems to be because I do not have gray hair (the only good gene I got from my dad) some do not believe me.
Just left my 80yo lying uncle, he had a visit from a travel healthcare worker. He was going on all the years he worked offshore. Mom said he gets low ss✔️ because he didn't work those jobs paying SS he rather try cheating the system.
My takeaway from your Vid is “why are we letting anybody else rule our lives at this stage of the game running out of time.” My immediate family all females too much estrogen at Thanksgiving under one roof is Overwhelming. I’m seriously thinking about not showing up Xmas Day until they leave then be there for my elderly 94 year old Mother Serious declining health. Rather cause FRICTION I bite my tongue becoming a door mat. This happens Frequent🤬
Do you believe in the afterlife? Heaven? Hell? That Jesus is the Son of God? Just wondering. Thank you for sharing your life. 61 year old grandma from Ohio. Heading to Q. Az. Jan. 25 RTR.

I enjoyed this video. I'm 79 and I so agree with you. The thing I want to add is I feel it will be greener when I'm with the Lord!
That’s a good thing to think about.
Greener is good. 🌲🌳🌴🌵🌺🙏
I stopped working a year ago. I am focusing on gratitude for every day I'm here. I trust in God and myself and appreciate my life and where I am. I really don't care about what others think of me anymore. Thank you for this thoughtful video.
You are so smart and wise Lindy
Awwwww. I adore you. You’re so right. Those tv shows back in 40’s and 50’s….nothing like my life. I’ll be 77 in a few months. Only child..single parent…lots of struggles and heartache and hardships. Never remarried. Helped raise my 5 grandchildren, while working a hectic job, after my youngest her daughter passed from heart issues. Helped care for my mom when my dad passed at 44 yrs old(heart issues on both sides of family). I was 16 yrs old and working3 days a week after school and just trying to get my mom out of her deep depression. I was grieving also…but cried alone.
I’m used to being on my own now. No help from son in law. No help from my ex. Worked hard and also fostered and adopted several dogs and cats from puppy mills and homeless shelters. Family, my pets, my work….they all came first.
Now I sleep in. Live in a mobile home and am happy. Would be happier if I could drive (I lose balance and depth perception, have neuropathy issues in arms and legs, some days feel exhausted, but I get up to feed my inside cats and outside fur critters). For 13 yrs I’ve been alone. Oldest grandson shows up when he’s in trouble…finally has a job..but I wish he’d get the heck out. He’s in my way..tho he tries not to get in my way. Out of all grandkids,all doing ok…except him. I love him but it’s like living with a 6 yr old sometimes. Never has money or helps with rent or bills.
I miss driving…but I’m fine alone..with my cats..reading..doing chores…watching nature videos, etc…rest of family relocated. That’s ok. My older daughter lives in next town over. Son in law owes me close to $150;000, but I haven’t seen him for 3 yrs. He’s remodeled his home and is driving a 2024 Audi and has a new young girlfriend. I raised his children…while he drank too much. I had a 2010 Chevy cobalt. My daughter has it. She was afraid I’d get in car and drive… and I don’t want to hurt or, God forbid, kill anyone.
I see barely no one..ever. Yet I’m at peace. I’m happy. I’ve never not cared for someone…even as a child. I’ve got 10outside feral cats left. They have warm shelters filled with straw.

You are so wise and cute and you’re ‘right’ about everything you stated. I do love you. And Marley.
You keep doing what you’re doing. So will I.
Much light, love, peace and prayers to you, Marley and your family…and your subscribers…and all beings. 🫶💫💫💫🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✌🏻. Thank you, Lindy. Take care. 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Hello there I think your kindness shines through the way you feed all the animals is amazing outstanding thankyou I'm sure you've done your best try to be kind to yourself sleep in do things you enjoy I wish you the best

Not the least bit interested. It ain't greener but you want everybody to think it is.
Sounds wonderful. You're so lucky
76 and holding on. Everybody's realities are perceived by each person individually. You hit the nail on the head. Love you, lady.
Hello Lindy, I enjoyed watching your video. It's snowing and I'm in my PJs! Love the nails! I'm married to a New Yorker. He taught me not to be so trusting. You are absolutely right, at your age you can do whatever you want, so do it! Pet Marley for me.

"How do you deal with your reality? I just ignore mine" LOL! Lindy we are more alike then I thought! 💗🙏💗
So true!
Thanks!
Thank you for your super thanks support LINDY
I'm 67 and feel so much older. I have to force myself to move around. I'm inspired by you. I watch all your videos. Take care of yourself 😊
Don't ever stop moving they'll be time for that when you pass.
So hood to hear truth and wisdom Lindy. Your words soothes my soul🙏🏻

Sometimes, you just have to say, "FUDGE it!"
You are very wise, Lindy. We (usually) improve with age. Lol.
I watched the Brady Bunch when I was a kid to escape reality. I got married in the living room of my in-laws with flowers from the front yard in jeans and a blouse. I divorced 3 years later. … You’re awesome Lindy… really enjoyed this. 🫶🏼
I really enjoyed this. You covered a lot of ground, thank you.
Thank you for watching.
I like hearing about how you dont live a conventional life. I love to travel never bought a house, staying in one place and one job for life wasnt for me, probably made life more difficult for myself but also more interesting. I like how you have the courage to do your own thing and make a cosy home that suits you even though its not an easy life. looking forward to that tesla adaptor review
It is good to be free
I'm in my pajamas right now.😅 Live your life!
Thank you for your true words Lindy. Greetings from Germany ❤
Thanks for watching from Germany.
I like your nails. The length is very becoming for your age. Lovely.
Well I have to say I pretty much agree with what you are saying Lindy. I have a few things I would like to do, and there are those that say I should not. But, you are right. It's the right time in our lives to make our decisions based upon what we dream of doing. You've started the senior revolution!😀🥰
I got married in my parents living room. Montgomery Wards white Gunnie Sax country looking skirt & blouse. Finger sandwichs & potatoe salad & a cheap ring from Kmart 😆
We only had around 20 guests & my Dad figured out exactly how many glasses of champagne to serve so everyone only got one glass. I married into Irish & my parents didn't want any trouble LMAO 🤣🥂🍾
My husband passed in 2020 & the young woman at our senior center & i were cracking up because I said i can do whatever i want even wash dishes at midnight naked 😆
She said her husband works long times away from home & she does dishes naked when she wants to also 🤣
Its been a damn long hard life, but I'm glad im still here & feel I've earned my age.
I know right away if i meet another senior & they mention their age 65-80 years young instead of saying old they are someone I'm not going to get along with because they are fighting their wonderful age & maturity.
You look wonderful & I'm so happy you are recovering from your heart surgery so well🤍
Seasons Greetings & a very Happy New Year!
💚❤️🌲🦌❤️💚
🥂🍾
I'm happy you're enjoying your life.
Age is a number and one I feel everyday. LOL
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428
I should have said: I'm surprised to be alive😆
I'm not exactly happy about it everyday though in all honesty.
It's just that when I was a little girl I volunteered at an old folks home. Man alive they were grumpy & depressed except for a couple of ladies & they were a riot & a pleasure to serve & listen to.
So I vowed right then & there that when I get old I'm gonna embrace it with gusto and be like the 2 fun old ladies!!🤗
One dream I actually
accomplished🫤🤦🏼🤷🏼
LoL 😆
It's been far more hard then fun to be honest.
I'm not at all happy with the aches, pains & I'm so physically weak now, but I have a good attitude in public or with customer service on the phone & it always goes smooth & I hear all the time: Thank you for being so patient & you've been a pleasure to wait on.
Don't get me wrong I can be damn snarly, bitter, whiney, impatient or worse at home alone, but when I finally HAVE to leave my house or call CS or deal with anybody else 🫣
It always goes good 😊 👍🏼
I became off the charts high anxiety & depressed since 1989 when my Mom passed. I was trapped in a seriously volatile DV marriage 38 years I couldn't escape no matter how much I tried & that's all I can say about that or I'll start disassociating & the CPTSD will kick in.
Don't ever unknowingly marry a sociopath that's all I have to say to everybody 🫣
Then I found out as a grandma 2011 I'm autistic which I was relieved to find out because I "had been" easy pickins for manipulative people thus never seeing any red flags before it was way too late 🤷🏼
Anyways I've been trying to face & heal all my trauma the last 4 years.
According to my therapist I'm doing very well for what I've been through although I expected to be healed more by now because nobody is threatening my life anymore the last 4 years.
My therapist says it's like I've just gotten out of a prison camp after 38 years & healing all that doesn't come overnight❤️🩹
People always say to me you're very funny for being a depressed person🤔
I'm going to thank my sense of humor for sticking with me through it all🤍🤞🏼
Sorry to have rattled on so much.
Even though our stories are different I feel the same: It's MY Life now & I can do anything I want my own way now & that's great & also scary to me🫤
Seasons Greetings
💚❤️🦌🌲❤️💚
& Have a most wonderful New Year, Your Way Lindy🤍🤗🤍
Enjoy hearing from you
Thank yiu so much lindy, fir the up lifting thoughts. I'm a 77 year young widower ,living out of my van ,and work partime to get a tad more financially stable, and get lots of questionable looks as to why I'm living like i am??
I. Sure you can relate.
Stay strong and safe,keep up the good work.
Your an inspiration .
PS. I watched leave it to beaver last night😅..lol..
Take care....mark from eastern oregon..
You going to RTR. You can meet lots of people
You are a hoot Lindy! I'm sad today and this gloomy, rainy weather isn't helping.
Yea it's been raining here. I love the rain.
Great Vid!
Thank you for sharing ✌🏽💖🤟🏼✨️🧚♂️
If ones looking for‘greener pastures “? They should water the grass they already have. Just an old woman’s opinion
Absolutely right Lulu.
Omg! Love this! So so true!
You always inspire me to keep going 💪❤️✌️
Thank you, I appreciate your support.
Yes, life passes so fast, I'm 75, worked hard all my life, now my family is scattered, I'm here alone....so much I've let slip away working two jobs raising my kids, where did that time go....
I hear you
I have had people ask “why don’t you live with one of your sons!” OR “ I can’t believe your son doesn’t take you in!” I tell them I want to live on my own.
I hear that all the time
You have made a great point. I was a systems kid. I grew up being fed social constructs as truth. These constructs were not my truth. Extended family? Notta. Holidays with the kids? Notta. Enjoy the grandchildren? Notta. I accept that my life as it is. I have been able to check things off my bucket list, and my health is good. It was good to hear you voice something similar.
It is what it is, I guess.
I hope one day I can be as positive as you 💫✨🩷🌷🧁💫✨😽🌼💝🌟💛💖🌻🪻💐✨💫 I watch little house on the prairie to escape wishing life was simpler that it is 😊
It’s a good show, I watched it too.
Don't do what don't feel like doing.
Well you are making me think......i'm 75 and had a health scare this autumn. I need to do mire in 2025, so i've decided to deck my car/mini van up for nights out at the beach with my dogs. I cannot go touring yet as i have several old cats and 2 llamas! And they mean a lot to me so i will not get rid of them so i can be selfish. But nights at the beach in summer will be good, and mean i'm not driving too far there and back in one day. The Spanish border is only an hour away! So plans for the next 6 months.
Good for you. Enjoy your life
I don’t trust ANYONE except my dog….PERIOD!
If there is a greener pasture , it just needs mowed more. I don't want to any more.
Good comment
My sister has alzhimers now she needs 24/7 the family had to put her in nursing home they all work
Amen!!!
So true what you said~
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤
Hello... Happy to see you today ...
Tx girl 🌸me
Happy to see you too!
My daughter wants to tell me what to do. I am 73 and she worries about my health and I need to do this/that.
💛💛💛
Haha, I feel all our media and movies etc. are just trying to "sell" us. Sorry, I'm not buying 🌞. At our age, we thrive on our solitude & freedom. We're still Americans after all !
👍 Rock on 🙂.
Oh Lindy, I love you! Merry Christmas. I've been married by a Judge, another Judge, a Justice of the peace and I can't remember who officiated at my last wedding. LOL! I'm a mid 60's with health issues too. I'm going to end up with Alzhiemers due to inherited genes. I am hoping to "go out" with a heart attack as that is a problem too, Stiff Heart. I don't know how to tell my kids to put me down if I become incapacitated. BUT!? What does that look like and can they do it? You know Lindy, millions of American people may be living the Nomadic life soon, more than the millions that already are. Remember the horror scenes where people are forced out of the cities due to some disaster and the roads are clogged with vehicles? Or the mobile cravans in Independance Day? The world is getting like that. Ever hear the old Cristy Lane song. One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, thats all I'm asking from You. Just give me the strength to do every day what I need to do......
Euthanasia is legal in many states. I told my husband that if I have dementiaso bad that I can't do anything both be alive to please have me euthanized. I've taken care of some dementiacluents and it's really sad for them and their families. They are scared because they can't grasp who or where they are. 😢
Many of my thoughts too. I love your perfect solution, ignore it, you live in a van & leave.
That’s the best thing to do sometimes.
So let me get this straight here, when I turn 77 I will be allowed to drive out of town? Things just get better and better every day. I'm going to do what I've always done. Find a way to make it work. The world is full of nice people. Can't find one then be one. If I end up in a van, so be it.
You got it, sometimes the road is rough.
May I ask what county are you registered in CA? You should have more help from both the state and the VA. At 77 you are looking great. I agree that at this age, who cares what we want to do to enjoy our lives.
❤🐝🐞🦋
I am 72. I never deny my age because I earned every year. I look at each year being one year closer to Heaven. Even though my body at times feels old my mind does not. When someone ask me my age sometimes I have to think! My other problem seems to be because I do not have gray hair (the only good gene I got from my dad) some do not believe me.
Lucky you Charlotte don't go getting depressed on me. Looking forward to seeing you again lovely lady.
Your sounding grt Lindy . One day at a time ….sweet Jesus ! Don’t go running up that rd that’s not showed it’s face yet ! 😂
Just left my 80yo lying uncle, he had a visit from a travel healthcare worker. He was going on all the years he worked offshore. Mom said he gets low ss✔️ because he didn't work those jobs paying SS he rather try cheating the system.
Where do you start a journey
Anywhere you want
Bless you I always said spend money more wisely my marriage my dress was 10.00 the preach got some money in his living room
My takeaway from your Vid is “why are we letting anybody else rule our lives at this stage of the game running out of time.” My immediate family all females too much estrogen at Thanksgiving under one roof is Overwhelming. I’m seriously thinking about not showing up Xmas Day until they leave then be there for my elderly 94 year old Mother Serious declining health. Rather cause FRICTION I bite my tongue becoming a door mat. This happens Frequent🤬
You got it
Cute accent😊
Listen to your intuition. I think it's God whispering in your ear.
I agree!
👋 ❤❤
Some of you women are so lucky you don't have to shave!
Yes At a certain age my hair stopped growing. Under arms legs etc. Haven't shaved for 20 years or so can't remember
@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 It's the damn chin hairs now!!! 😬🙄🤣
🚐🚐🚐
Do you believe in God and talk to him? I find comfort in my Lord.
Of course. I turn my day over to him.
😆😆😆
😀😀😀
Do you believe in the afterlife? Heaven? Hell? That Jesus is the Son of God? Just wondering. Thank you for sharing your life. 61 year old grandma from Ohio. Heading to Q. Az. Jan. 25 RTR.
Of course I do. You must be new or you would know that
@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 No. Not new. Didn't remember. Ty. I listen to so many UA-camrs.
🙏🩷🌸
