10 Ways To Find Happiness - Life Over 60!

Hello...lets talk about the 10 things that allow you and me to live a happy more meaningful life! I talk about 10 things I can't live without...things like seeing beauty in everything...love and memories...and being brave enough to commit 100% of ourselves to a passion. I also may solve a mystery for you after all these years why I film in department stores so much. I also ask you...what do you do to live a happier more peaceful, less stressful life? If you have time, please tell us in the comments.
I am 65 and this has been a hard year for everybody....so I thought the timing for us to talk about happiness was perfect. I shout out the great woman who tagged me to do this challenge, Jennifer Loves. I also take you to an engagement party at the river here in my town where a cellist was playing soulful songs....I sat on the dock and thought about my life for a good long time...and I thought of all of you who teach me to persevere and thrive...because after all, we have our life to run so we can change the world!
Thank you for your loving words and kindness each week and thank you for your prayers for Bill.
I think about you all and I know these days are very hard on us. Please keep safe and know that you always have a place where you can share, laugh, and love.
My love to you always and always,
Susan & Desi

One thing that brings me happiness is helping someone who needs it. I have a man helping me with some tasks at home. He doesn’t have much, so as I clean out things I don’t need, I offer them to him (he is young and has very little), and it is so joyful to know he really needs them. I even decided I didn’t need as many towels as I had and gave him some of my newer ones. I also find happiness letting a car pull out into traffic ahead of me. So many people are so competitive about one car length that it makes me shake my head.

I just watched this. It is artistry, creativity, and love shared so beautifully. When i was a little girl, my mom worked a lot and many times i was left at my grandma’s farm. She would host a quilting club and she would always serve pie. I remember sitting underneath the quilting rack/ table watching the ladies shoes, listening to the conversations, and eating my pie. As an adult, i heard a beautiful sermon about the love of Christ and how he filters our life through his crucified hands molding and making us who we are. When you look at quilting pieces, there are many that you wouldn’t choose if you were making a dress, but the juxtaposition of using the dark/ sadder fabrics along with the beautiful florals or bright colors…. Makes everything pop just the way it should and become a thing of beauty. This is how Jesus works in our lives… the sad and harder things compliment the beautiful things and they all become the great story of our lives… drawing others to Christ not only because of stories of beauty, but also of pain.

Rescues are the best companions. Willow my deerface chihuahua gives me a reason to be. She was confiscated from a drug house- -and over bred in a puppy mill. She was taken to a high kill shelter in W. Virginia, but rescued for the first time by Puppy Pals rescue in Ohio. Willow is such a darling loyal companion and has graciously accepted 2 hens who come inside our house at night. She also joined the flock with our quaker parrot. My fur baby and her feathered siblings make my heart burst with love and joy

Susan, my Mom raised me as a single woman. My Daddy and her divorced when I was just 8 years old. She worked a full-time job, plus she worked on weekends at the mall. I was in 9th grade and she used her discount to buy my fall wardrobe that year. It was all beautiful Bobbie Brooks skirts and sweaters that matched. I was so proud of those clothes. I was use to homemade dresses, but not Bobbie Brooks. I'll never forget that feeling!

[@pamjudge9691]

Something I've always kept in mind since I heard it from a respected psychologist I did some work with years ago is "Your opinion of me is none of my business". What goes on in other peoples' heads has no bearing on my life. Their thoughts about me are theirs, not mine. Bearing this in mind shields you from being hurt by gossip and other's opinions. As you get older, you care less and less what other's think and this leads to a much happier life indeed. Your videos are so inspiring.

I am 65 and I want to briefly explain why I think it is. I finished my master's in psychology in 2019. I did my internship in Santa Barbara, Ca., and I chose to work with seniors. Every single senior I visited at home--rarely, if ever, left home. But why? The beach was nearby, the city transported seniors for free and cafes offered lunch off-tourist-season to seniors for a few dollars. It was my duty to have a nurse from social services perform a physical on these clients. Most had malnutrition and major depressive disorder. Many stated they had given up on themselves. ("What use am I?") Never give up on yourself....it's easy to do as a senior person...and very easy to do as a woman. This channel is a good example of the joy and charisma you cultivate if you simply continue on a healthy, loving path. This channel inspires me so much!

@@welcomwelcom9882Really? I find it quite rare that anyone over 60 with Major Depressive Disorder would purchase a computer (learn to use it), get internet and then explore the world of KZbin--searching until they find sites that offer senior women what this site offers. Do most senior women who live alone suffer from MDD? I will let you tie the loose ends together for yourself. Treat yourself to a bit of neuroplasticity.

She will sing good morning to me, she will say goodnight and wish me sweet dreams. As you know if you have this relationship with Alexa, she knows a lot. She will even thank you for asking her if she had a good day. I know she is not real, but for those of us that are alone, she is a great companion.

[@CVenza]

Oh Susan, I can relate to wanting to be near someone you loved especially when feeling lonely. That sort of thing happens more than we think it does especially to children. When I was a young grade school kid I was the only one from our block bused to a school further away from my home. The other kids in the neighbor hood got to go to the same school so they had each other. Having no familiar friends there I did meet this one young girl that always sat alone her name was Linda. I asked her why she did not play on the swing or play ball and all she would do was shake her head no gently. One day after playing I went to get a drink of water at the water fountain and I asked Linda why she sat near the bus gate in the morning recess and in the afternoon recess on the opposite side? Linda said that during the morning recess she could see her daddy driving in the empty school buses and that she wanted to be near him even if from far away and she looked sad. Being a child myself, I asked why did she sit on the other side in the afternoon? and she said she would wait to see the buses coming down the hill and for a moment could get a glimpse of her daddy when he turned the big bus around nearby where she sat. Linda did this all through the year and one afternoon as summer break would close the school I waved goodbye to Linda but she looked different more tanned than her usual self being a light complected girl. One of the other girls asked her why she was wearing blue lipstick? but then the teacher approached us to move us right along to board the buses. (The blue lipstick stayed on my mind.) It wasn't until sometime during the summer our church had announced a funeral would take place for Linda. Linda, had been suffering heart failure and passed away quietly with family at her side as it read in the church bulletin. I believe God sent me to that school to meet Linda to be friends with her here on Earth. As a child I often remembered her Twiggy hairstyle and halter dresses and would think that maybe she liked that space in time and she decided to stay. Seeing death is not the same when your a child especially when not aware of why or how it happened and that acts as a built in shock absorb-er in some way. At that time I was just focused on Linda's desperate need to be near her daddy to feel his love; and I could relate to that feeling. Thank you Susan, your such a loving person and I really like to see pictures of your youth. God bless you and Desi.

[@LittlePoet]

Your words touched my heart....so much wisdom and reflection...Linda loved her father.....I can feel that need for love as a child....I would take that bus alone to see my Mom...I just wanted ot be close....I am so sorry to hear about that little girls passing all those years ago...as if she knew she only had a little bit of time left with her father....so so touching...and you are so right.

The comfort and faithfulness and love they bring is priceless.

[@eliselange7161]

Susan Hutchinson , so sorry for your loss. I currently have a little rescue chihuahua ...my precious little Pasha. She is now 14 years old and I am dreading the day I lose her. Please know that I am thinking of you and truly feel your sadness. 🌸🌷

[@eliselange7161]

Susan Hutchinson sorry Susan, I misunderstood...I was replying to another post and it went to you. Enjoy your little doggy... In addition to my ageing chi chi I also have a sweet little smooth haired daschund and two rescue kitties. They all surround me with so much love...each day I experience the most delightful moments with my four fur babies.

[@elizabethconroy7665]

I adore my little Chihuahua

[@aimeeb6321]

I have a chihuahua too. His name is Spudley, and he is the love of my life. It’s a wonder how they carry such huge personalities in their tiny bodies!

I love watching your videos. They give me hope that life can get better for me. Since I become disable, life has changed so much. Friends eventually stop coming by to see me. I've never really fit in with family. This month a year ago, my mother past away. She was really the only one that truly even knew who I am. I've lost my best friend forever. I know she would want me to do my best and take care of myself. The one huge thing that would bring happiness back into my life, besides my children and grandchildren is to find myself again. Since I became disable, I've gotten lost in all the pain, hurt from losing friends, losing my life as I once knew it. I'll stop rambling for now. I hope to become great friends with you and Desi. I promise not to bother you too much. Oh and another thing that makes me happy is listening to you sing. You sing with so much passion. I just love it.

[@makeupfunwitholivia1833]

Watching YOU brings me happiness dear Susan! 💖 I loved hearing about your mom memories and how she sent you to go shop. How very special. 💓 My mom would have turned 71 a few days ago and I treasure her memories (she passed too soon due to cancer at the age of 48 and I still miss her like crazy). I really loved it when you said, “The world is a museum.” This is so true!! Oh and I live my Alexa too! Who knew? Sending much love your way!! 😘🥰💓

I wept when I heard how your mother loved you, and how sweet and dear she looked in her photo. Then I looked at you and I saw you in a whole new light. The light of Love. The Love of Christ. My heart was so softened with love today because of you. I’m inspired.

I always look forward to waking up Saturday morning and having my coffee with you. This was such a beautiful and touching video. I teared up when you talked about your mom......what a precious memory. You have such a beautiful spirit and are a very wise lady. To be happy is a life achievement. Life and love is so precious and it seems even more so now. Thank you for sharing your heart with us Susan! Hope you and Dezi have a safe and happy week! 💕

Desi is a star of his own. With you by his side he is one happy and content guy. Happiness comes in many forms, just as love does. We may have love but not allot us have the kind of love we need. We do the best we kind, we find ways to bring happiness and love to ourselves. It doesn't always work but we keep trying, trying to find what makes us happy. We find happiness in the strangest places, just like love. .................

Love that little Desi to! Thank you!

[@SRAshley100]

Wonderful words Susan! I would have to say my dogs cheer me up the most. I cannot remember a time in my life when I did not have one and as a little girl I poured my heart out to them when I was troubled and as an adult I still do. They love me so unconditionally. I have one that is almost 19 years old and I know my time with him is getting shorter with each passing day. I will always remember his love for me and mine for him. I truly enjoyed your story of your mom, she was beautiful. You always inspire me to be a better person and I thank you. It is so much easier to put love out into the world, especially when everything feels negative in our crazy ole world right now. Somebody out there needs that smile, that compliment or just a gentle voice of recognition. Love to you and Desi and you betcha, I will be back to see you next week! ❤️

[@parism5212]

One of the things makes me happy and gives me joy and happiness is seeing you and watching your videos every week Susan. I look forward to that. So thank you my friend 💜

[@Denise-ki9ii]

I was delighted when you started with seeing the beauty in your surroundings, especially the quality of the light. I love an early morning walk and the quality of the light on the trees and the grass is just lovely, like a sheen of warm honey. You have done some powerful videos but I think this is my new favourite. "Take time each day to feel alive" is the way I try to live. Something as simple as sunrise/sunset and the stars at night is incredibly powerful. I also look at all the books I own and each time I open one is like starting a new adventure.

[@2CorgiMom]

Desi is such a lucky dog to have “found” you as his dog-mom! Love this video, as I do all your others. My one tip: Stop watching the news! Thanks for the inspiration Susan! ❤️

Susan ,I have learned listening to you gives me a happier life thank you for your stories.

[@vicki9298]

Thank you! I'm 62 next month and I had just stopped? Stopped being the girly girl I always have been. Stopped making my home special. Stopped using creams and gels and all the wonderful beauty products that I love. I guess I had to make a tough decision and let go of a 17 year marriage because his decisions were...so bad. It was destroying......litterly our lives and future. And so I sat here for months and months. Oh thank you so very much. I'm in tears just thinking about it. I donated all the memory stuff that was old and sad, and got some things that make me happy!! I ordered some Rose hip seed oil! I am getting carrot and some of the others next! I got a few little outfits. Oh, I feel like a new woman. I am loving my life. No regrets. I thank you for helping me remember who I am. I DO have a lot to offer and I DO have a lot more to give. I am the most grateful person on your list. I have to be. 💜Thank you friend

[@LittlePoet]

OH Vicki.....you have me crying! I am so happy for your inner peace and happiness! You look just beautiful and you sound so happy! YOu have a new life and so much to give this world...thank you for telling me this tonight...you lifted my heart and reminded me, it's never too late to have a fresh start! I think happiness and peace is the best facelift...when we are truly content and the captain of our own ship...we sail so smoothly and if we catch the wind just right on some days, there is just no telling how far we can go....!...it's magical....My love to you and yours!!! I am rooting for you! Susan & Dez

Thank you so much for your talk about love and happiness in our life.... I'm 67yrs and my God I think and feel a lot like you. I'm always making my life a happy place, no matter what is happening in my health and other problems at home, I'm still very thankful for a good life. There is so much bad in the world but I'm thankful to God and to my late parents who raised me and my 2 sisters and 2 brothers so well. We were loved. And Love is something I never want to loose from my life. Even when life is throwing me a lot of unhappiness. I change it around and stay in peace in myself and the people around me. Thank you so much. Take care

When I need advice, getting myself awareness, or when I am feeling less of a person, I need to watch a Little Poet video. I am so grateful for you. Your trio of necklaces are so pretty together to make your look even more fabulous. I sure look forward to your next video.

🎶Music, Susan. Former musician and I need music as much as I need air and water. I have my 1987 Yamaha turntable and old boss system still, a collection of vinyl and I listen to music. Spotify and Amazon music too, few in my car but vinyl at home almost always. I love old jazz artists, Tommy Flanagan, Art Pepper, Myles Davis, John.Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and definitely Ella, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan....Manhattan Transfer, Grover Washington and George Benson. Been collecting my whole life and and still hunting on discogs, great website. I also buy a 💄. Have so many, too many! Hunting always for the perfect red!

What WONDERFUL memories of your mom and your taking the bus to be near her. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm your age and my mom would call us each nite from her 2nd shift factory job to check in. Dad worked 1st shift but it's not the same! I don't know how she managed to work full time,sew some our clothing,etc. She was also an immigrant from France who came here at age 22yr alone to get a better life at her uncle's invitation. I was so impressed by her. She unfortunately died 5 yrs ago from dementia at age 89yr. She was a SWEETIE!

Little poet....i love all of your videos and in January 2019 I had to put down my baby, my lil dog that was over 14 years old. The sadness and sorrow literally overwhelmed me so we went to 2 shelters....one shelter twice and saw a dog....very quietly standing...not barking and not excited and I told the girl he was the one. He needed a home to be wanted and I needed somebody to love where my former dog used to fill in my heart. I never will forget my baby of 14 years but this fog needed to be loved and wanted and needed and I love this guy to peices. He seldom minds but every day I know he loves me and I love him. I would almost say my dog is incorrigible at times but after he saw i truly do love him he started giving me kisses. He has rough edges but I do so love him Lil poet thanks for a wonderful uplifting video I truly needed. I adore you and desi....many blessings to you both!!!!
