At 72, I do feel the most sorry for my grown son and grandchildren. This is such a harsher time than we grew up in. I am pretty content , even though I live alone , and am a plane ride away from everyone. I do pray and feel grateful everyday that I am still in good health, in my paid for home. I know health issues as people age can be so stressful. So I am able to garden , do my crafts, make something good to eat, read, and just try and remain content for where I am at this point of my life. I have a few good friends. But I am feeling the need to volunteer and meet others. I do notice I spend a lot of days alone.. But even though I am alone, I am never lonely. Thank you Jesus!

I'm sorry. 💔 My father had Lewy Body dementia, so I know a bit about how difficult that is. I couldn't imagine being a full time caregiver for someone with dementia. I hope you have family members who can help, or you're able to arrange some other resources for respite care. If you try to do it all yourself and put everything you have into caregiving, eventually you'll end up wearing yourself out, and you'll end up sick yourself. I know it's extremely difficult, but some time off for self care is really important. I wish you the best.

She created a small open area to place a small bench and chair. Everyday about 1pm while her husband, who had Alzheimer's, napped she would go and just sit in the seclusion alone. She continues to speak how that area continues to soothe her even though she's lost her husband.

HI from Annie thank you for your kind words of inspiration. Yes I agree it is a sad world out there and we have to focus on ourselves more and take better care of our mind body and spirit, if we don't no one else will. Reaching out to family is good if you have one that wants you and cares about you. But if your family ignores and pushes you out then what can you do nothing I have reached out so many times in past to be thrown out told to go away and the is sad coming from my only daughter she is 45yrs should know better. She won't let my grandkids see me or their father we are shut out. It is awful don't even have their contact details at all no address no phones etc blocked from facebooks etc. I have done nothing to deserve this is all came about when she remarried for second time, it was her buby who started it. I thought she loved me enough to say NO to her second huby and his control freak ways etc. We can't control much in our lives these days and it is scary and depressing. I have few friends they have changed only care about themselves and their families have no time to chat to me or met for a cuppa it is very disappointing when you trust others and they let you down. But as you say try to be in the present moment I try the best I can and just pray a lot for so many people and good things for this earth.

Well, you're a breath of fresh air, Sandra! Wonderful message. I'll share one small suggestion, that's so easy to put into regular practice. When we "demonstrate curiosity" about others, we convey a message that the other person matters. Simply asking someone how they're doing (the cashier at the grocery store, the young employee checking me in at the gym, the person taking my coffee order), it gives them a small opportunity to share, and conveys caring and interest. It seems to make someone's day, even momentarily, brighter by simply and genuinely asking: how are you doing today? You have a new subscriber from western Canada. Warm regards.

I started hand writing letters to friends and all of that combined has been a real confort to me. I also actively withdrew my desire to impose my views on others.

Hi Sandra I feel exactly this way too. I’m 72 and am feeling the losses of people dear to me - beloved cousin who passed in March and a friend of over 50 years refused to accept my efforts to restore our relationship after a falling out- she was my confidant and we helped each other through many a crisis. Meanwhile my adult children make choices that worry me but like you said in another video, it’s a daily practice to let it go and let it be. I do exactly what you have prescribed: monthly facials are a special treat I give myself and help me look the best I can look for my age, I walk in the park, and I do lap swimming at local park pool. There’s something about swimming under the sunshine and enjoying the music and happy chatter of the people in the exercise class in the next lanes that make me feel part of life. But underneath is still the sadness that comes with attachment….what we love we will lose someday😢

I am learning to lifve one day at a time as the Bible tells us to do and it makesl ife so much more beautiful. My best to you and all the words of wisdom you offer.

I love listening to you because I’m 74 (not for long) but other than aches & pains and forgetting where I put everything, I still think I’m the same! But many sad and stressful times I didn’t think I’d ever get over but I try to let go! You are certainly a beautiful woman no matter how old you are💕.

[@howellwong11]

I also have aches and pains and forgetting where I put everything, but I'm 91 years old. At 74, I was still young. You will start going down hill when you are in your Eighties. At least, i can still think rationally at my age.

Thank you Sandra , I needed to feel that I wasn’t alone , I need to practice my self care to build confidence to even go outside , I’m trying to find outfits in my closet I have put on belly weight dealing with menopause . The world is falling apart but so is my circle , I just told my son that it seems we can’t change the world but we can effect the circle of people in our life at the moment , and right now we should be there for each other and I told him if everyone was helping and encouraging and protecting their circle of friends the world would be a better place . Thanks for the love you share

[@asou5334]

Thank you for this today. I too have been stressed for a few years primarily over what is happening in our country. I know as one person I cannot change anything but it still is hard to not be upset. I have never in my 68 years of life ever seen such division and unkindness amongst people, not only strangers but family due to politics. It is disturbing and creates a feeling of helplessness. I have started to workout again which helps me to focus on myself and calms me.

I have the following laminated and hanging in my vanity so I see it first thing in the morning. The title is: Seek These to be Content. "Gratitude makes me realize how very rich I am. Simplicity: the essentials of what I truly need to live well. Order: internal and external creates harmony. Harmony allows me inner peace to appreciate beauty. Beauty opens me up to joy. Joy fills my heart makes me grateful." When I focus on these it calms my soul and the stress leaves. God bless you Sandra - we all love you and your wisdom and inspiration.

Dear Sandra, thank you for expressing how you are feeling. I sense that so many of us feel a sense of helplessness with world events. It's not always easy to 'roll with the punches' life throws at us. As you said we must try and live in the moment. I find being in nature helps and I like to see and hear young people around me. Living in England, I really appreciate sunny days too 😂 and I am grateful for all the good things in my life. Please take care and keep making the videos we all love and can relate to. ❤❤

Thanks for your encouragement! You are a lovely lady!

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

With Jesus in my life, I can do anything. He entered my life in 1988, and I have been sober ever sense. My husband died in 2014 and I learn to just surround myself with likeminded people. . I am very active in my church.. I take a 3 mile walk weather permitting with my dog Otis that’s how I get my head clear. I try to watch limited news, but I am in the know. I am 72 years old and praise God that I am still very healthy, but I work at it every day with my walks with my eating with my upper body weights. I don’t sweat the little things anymore. I take things sometimes a minute at a time, and I lay it at God’s feet and leave it there. The only one that is in control is Jesus Christ.

I agree. I wouldn’t even think of facing life without Jesus to depend on. ❤️

[@junosaxon4370]

I agree with you. The future always brings change. In this storm of life, finding peace and calmness is important. Human contact and sharing is important. As one gets older, one loses friends, family, and life's colours seem dimmer. We mustn't accept the dimness. Finding hobbies, hobbies you can share with others, finding new friends helps so much. For myself, I write stories and one of my hobbies is being a movie buff. I used to go to a cafe which showed movies for free in the evenings, the same customers often went and it became like a club and we would discuss the movies together. Unfortunately, it was in a different country which I had to leave not long ago, I really miss that. Now, back in my own country, I'd love to start my own cafe/cinema, but it seems difficult here. The problem with living abroad for so long and being forced to leave (due to the country's transformation and change in politics) one must leave behind all one's friends and family and return to a homeland that now feels foreign. No more family, no more friends, all unfortunately left behind. Having to adapt is important, very very difficult, but essential for the spirit to continue.

[@HollyM3]

I relate to this topic and discussion. I’m 53 and the world has changed so much in many very concerning ways. I feel powerless in most ways, but I think it’s helpful to keep in mind, one must not give up. Staying true to ones beliefs and values is paramount. On a daily basis, it really is about self care. For me, it sounds like you, it’s about my routine of eating well, daily yoga/ pilates/ walking and movement of some kind. I recently moved to a calmer city and that helped me de stress from some of the environmental stressors. I limit news and instead watch things of interest on KZbin. Your channel has helped restore some sanity to an otherwise crazy world!

[@lindabarret]

Hi. First time I ever saw your videos. God bless you. Right this minute this is what I am doing that lifted me up (watch your kind and precious talk). Remember: love never ends. And nothing is really written in stone, things cam be improved. And proof of that is that such a gracious lady such as yourself is in this world and graces us with your sweet presence and kindness.

[@patsy6589]

Acknowledge, live in the moment and then treasure it. Concentrate more on the things you actually have control over. Reach out to people you love and be cheerful. Self care for physical and mental health. All great survival techniques in this more than crazy world. You said it all, beautiful lady. What helps me is listening to music that lifts me up and having faith, "this too will pass". Hey we've gotten this far, right.

[@AyaSmith-rb2hp]

1:42 pm Dear Sandra, thank you for being authentic and open. The world could sure use more lovely people like you. After losing all 3 of my siblings, having my father pass and just weeks later my 29 year old son pass unexpectedly and my job gone then….. on and on. It seemed there would be no let up. My grief in losing my son was a million times more intense than any loss I ever suffered. It has now been 8 years and I feel I have finally come through hell and am back but not the same. Yet, able to laugh and enjoy like again. I never though I could fall so deep being a life coach who had worked with lots of people to help them go through transitions and heal. What I learned about grief it is it’s own train and you cannot stop it. You just have to ride it out or get crushed in its tracks. It did not take 8 years to laugh and enjoy life but I learned that you never know when the grief train in going to take you for another ride. Although over time, there becomes more distance between the rides grief takes you on. Taking breaks and doing simple nourishing things or just normal things helped me. Unfortunately, I was pretty isolated and did not have supportive family to turn to. I hope you are surrounded by love and support, as the loss of a spouse according to the grief counseling I went to at hospice said the loss of a spouse usually has the most intense grief for the first two years and a child five yet, grief is something that never totally goes away as you know from other losses. Please give your self the grace and love that you give to all of us as you navigate your new normal. Much love and appreciation! ❤ Michele

Hello beautiful lady. Your words resonate totally with me, and not watching TV and the negativity associated with some social media, I don't interact with it. I find by uplifting others with my words and gestures, it makes my heart feel full, as I am putting out positivity and healing to assist others. If we all focused on being mindful as to what we vibrate out to others, what a better environment and world it would become. Thank you for all you do, and for being honest, as just being human we have all been through such challenging times. I find by taking the best from the past, blessing it, and moving on to have some purpose in this life. My father said to me before he passed, be happy, useful and productive. Such helpful words. Love and blessings to you from Australia.

Then on April 21 I was in a car accident, a young girl who had no driver’s license, no insurance, and expired plates hit my brand new car I’ve only had for less than 2 months. I keep asking my friends, why is God allowing all of this happen to me??? Thank you for sharing your feelings. Not that I want you to be depressed, I am so sorry for that. But it made me feel better about my own life filled with depressing things when I hear beautiful you share that life isn’t perfect while you live in such a beautiful place, you are successful, and so pretty and fit for your age. Yes, I feel a lot of unhappiness and anger in the people around me. I think the pandemic has caused a lot of that. My best friend told me this weekend, the whole world is going to hell in a hand basket. I think that is true. I am going to try my best to make MY little environment around me a happy place.

My children have chosen not be in my life and I've come to accept it, but also choose not to be bitter about it.

You are not the only one Sandra . I am 70 and see so many changes and like you said how things were easier in the younger days. I notice when I go in the grocery store people don’t look at other people or just smile. I don’t know what it is. I often think after wearing masks for so long and being inside it stunted us and maybe made us more introverted. I’m not sure what it is except maybe so many of us are stressed and have fears. So yes, we can control our own lives our thoughts and choices . I pray there is an uplifting that happens to shift us all into being a loving compassionate society once again.
