Are there benefits of being over 50?

[@DeborahHarris-Gigiongower]

Great video Rhian 🙂 I'm 59 too, turning 60 in December. A lot of what you say resonates with me xx

[@RhianWarlow]

@@DeborahHarris-Gigiongower I'm glad to hear that! X

[@janelevers291]

Wise words Rhi. I am also 59 and need to work for around another 2/3 years. Looking forward to spending more time with my 4 children and 6 grandchildren and spending more time on myself x

[@RhianWarlow]

@@janelevers291 the next few years will fly by xx

[@carolhendry3652]

Thank you for taking time to do this video! I am now approaching 69 (only in body maybe but certainly not in the head!) I cant tell you how quickly the years fly by once you retire. My husband and I have been incredibly lucky and are enjoying our retirement to the fullest but so many of our friends are not so lucky! You are right to enjoy every little thing. Have a wonderful birthday and here’s to many more! Really enjoy your channel.

[@RhianWarlow]

@@carolhendry3652 thank you very much for taking the time to write this lovely comment. I know what you mean about feeling young, in my head I'm around 30. Hope you and your husband enjoy many more healthy & happy years together xx

Hi Rhian age is just a number the older the fiddle 🎻 the sweeter the tune 😊

[@RhianWarlow]

@@yvonnescallon434 what a lovely way to put it x

[@karenbuchanan9420]

Hi Rhian such great thinking; absolutely be yourself. I’m coming up to 65 which is retirement age in New Zealand. Celebrate age and embrace it🎉

[@RhianWarlow]

@@karenbuchanan9420 enjoy your up and coming retirement xx

[@findingmystyle_x]

Hi Rhi, great video. I do think as you get older you think differently and as events happen in your life too that changes you xx

[@RhianWarlow]

@@findingmystyle_x yes you are right Kim, we just have to do our best to keep going xx

[@susanknight7091]

Not sure how I missed this one, though it was very insightful, enjoy what's left of your 59th year xx

[@RhianWarlow]

@@susanknight7091 thank you! Not much left of it xx

[@maryphillips864]

Hi Rhi, I loved this little vlog... you came across and spoke about your thoughts on aging so eloquently, you could tell you worked in a teaching profession. I've never really thought about getting old, it just sort of crept up on me! I'm in my seventy third year and if I say it out loud it's scary... because I don't feel that old. I've been blessed with good genes, I'm not on any meds, I only take supplements, I do wake up and find my back is a bit stiff... but as the day progresses it wears off. I'm very active, always have been... well, in my adult life, I didn't like PE much at school 😊 I do worry about losing my mind as I age... that's the only real worry I have, besides not wanting to be the one left on my own. Looking on the bright side we love our holidays, our grandchildren are past the age of taking out and keeping occupied, so we have more time for ourselves. All in all, you said it perfectly, I can't really add anything to it. We just have to make the most of everyday in whatever pleases us. Take care x

[@RhianWarlow]

@@maryphillips864 thank you so much. That's a worry for me too, losing my mind & my memory but I try not to think about it too much - it's not under our control. I'm glad to hear that you are so healthy & well. Xx

[@ginak921]

When i was 59 going on 60 i didn't even think about it really, it was just another birthday to me. I have been a volunteer at a over 50's center for just over 4 yrs now and i love it. There are so many members to get to know and different areas of volunteering too and so many volunteers to get to know too. I would be lost without that each week.

[@RhianWarlow]

@@ginak921 like you, volunteering has opened up a whole new world for me! I only do an afternoon a week but I get so much out of it xx

[@louisecroombs1400]

Hi Rhi…great video and you do come across as a kind and warm hearted person. I am nearly 58 and have retired this year. Am also loving the freedom. I think the saying “older and wiser” is so true.

[@RhianWarlow]

Thank you Louise! Hopefully, I'll get wiser as I get older 😀

[@franwalker9437]

I wasn’t worried about 60, but did face 70 with trepidation! Now I just don’t think about it, I really don’t feel any different than when I was 60 ❤

[@RhianWarlow]

I'm really glad to hear that! It's better not to think about it too much xx

[@katywoloch4975]

Wise words Rhi ... and, yes, reconnecting with friends we've not seen for a while is fabulous ❤

[@RhianWarlow]

@@katywoloch4975 totally agree 😀, new friends are silver, old friends are gold xx

[@karenporteous3626]

Great video. I'm.tge same age as you but I've been medically retired for years due to ms. I enjoy not having to rush anywhere and can do the things I like doing instead of working. I enjoy my chair keep fit and yoga, socialising with older people in the process. I enjoy walks with my dogs ( on my mobility scooter of course ). I am looking forward now to my grandchildren. Life is better now as my dad has just gone into a home at the age of 92 and a bit of weight has fallen off my shoulders. I also enjoy football with my daughter who goes as my carer. There is always something to be thankful for ! Thanks for your video today xx

[@RhianWarlow]

@@karenporteous3626 I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It is great not to have to rush anywhere. We have to do what we can xx

[@whatjulieloves9921]

I agree with everything you said Rhi. Really trying to embrace my 50’s as I cling onto the last couple of years 😊

[@Nanna-M]

Hi Rhian, I’m sure this video will resonate with a lot of people, I’ve never looked back since I retired, and I’m enjoying every minute, t0 is the new 50 lol xxx

[@RhianWarlow]

@@Nanna-M totally agree! And you look amazing which is always a bonus!

[@NannyJeano]

Hi Rhian. Well I agree with Everything you said. It took me a long time to say no and to not care very much what people think. I know my family and friends love me, anyone else can like me or leave me (obviously I would prefer people to like me.) I'm too old to worry about it 🙂

[@RhianWarlow]

You are right Jean, we have to be true to ourselves xx

[@RitaLeigh-ld4yf]

Well said Rhian 🌺 xx

@@RitaLeigh-ld4yf thank you xx

[@joancarucci8290]

My dear Rhi,,I am in my seventies and I fine if you dwell on your getting older,,which everyone is doing, Can bring you down.Death and illness are not limited to age..I treat myself more these days..My children and grandchildren always came first, oh don't get me wrong they will always be important to me but now its me first a little bit more..Rhi I don't stay around negative people they really do bring you down...Rhi a really valuable and interesting video..Rhi only listen to positive voices including your own..😊

[@RhianWarlow]

Thank you Joan. I totally agree with you, it's important to surround ourselves with positivity xx

[@christineward7146]

I finished work at Christmas and I gave myself too much to do. I was going to do all the things I didn't have time for. It didn't work out for me, so now I take things a bit easier and do things when I can rwally enjoy them instead of trying to cram everything in all at once x

[@RhianWarlow]

Yes, I know what you mean. Sometimes I find I've booked myself up too much but I'm learning to prioritise and sometimes say no to things xx

[@margothartwell6195]

Hi Rhian, I believe getting older is a privilege not afforded to everyone so I feel that by getting to 70 I am actually lucky. I am reasonably healthy, eat fairly sensibly, do pilates at a class once a week which is also very sociable because occasionally we go for breakfast afterwards. Also walk fairly regularly with my husband in the countryside near my home. We used to have a beautiful black lab which we had to say goodbye to in February so don't always manage every day now. I started art classes when I retired as it was my favourite subject at school and always wanted to get back into it. I'm not brilliant but I do enjoy it. You are so right life is fairly short, make the most of it.♥️

[@RhianWarlow]

@@margothartwell6195 that's so good to hear, you are an inspiration to me! A little exercise, and a fairly healthy diet works wonders xx

How do you spend your evenings I find I just sat watching tv .also have you any hobbies ?

[@RhianWarlow]

@@donnaking7856 I do like watching TV, especially Netflix but I generally don't sit down to watch it until around 8 ish. I like reading & belong to a book club, I walk a bit everyday to get my steps in & do light stretching everyday - 10 minutes or so, I like drawing although I'm not very good at it. Of course KZbin is also a hobby xx

Aging is wonderful! It is a choice. How we choose to age!
