I'VE GOT THE JANUARY BLUES.......

As a retired nurse I feel grateful for my blessings…and to have the gift of life…..no matter what I look like ….not everyone is given the privilege to age….😊

[@artmakerforever3510]

So many of us, all around the world, seem kind of down. It's so sad everywhere. I keep thinking how good my life is and how grateful I am. 💝

[@carolynhamilton3316]

I'm one of those stange people who love winter weather, as long as it doesn't cause damage. Wind and rain. Love that. Curl up with a good book, work on crafts, do art work, watch movies, just love it. It's easy for me to say, since I'm retired, and don't have to get out in it anymore, but I also love snow. Sweet Jack, I hope he feels good. Bless him. Suzi you look fabulous.

[@TheRayjane]

I love winter too. Cozy ....snow is beautiful and I love rain and wind.

[@rockingran1957]

Happy New Year from Ireland. I can completely relate to your experience of miserable weather overeating and seasonal depression. Thanks for your rant I know I am not the only one 😂 keep up the good habits you inspire us all.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank YOU, I eas beginning to think it was only me judging by the comments here! I AM totally grateful to be here, alive and healthy but the climate gets me down. xxx

[@rockingran1957]

@Jackiegee60I went to Morocco in October cheap and cheerful couple of weeks. I couldn’t believe how much lower the light levels were when I came home. It effected me much more than the drop in temperatures.

[@debraglew2506]

I love January,we must be very grateful for what we have 😊

[@SueAttrill-kr6dk]

You moan away Suzi especially if it makes you feel better. Another wonderful Vlog and let’s hope the sun shines very soon, I don’t mind if it’s cold as long as it’s sunny and not raining, dull and depressing. Loving your outfits ❤️ Take care lovely and sending huge hugs 😘😘

I so agree, freezing and sunny suits me fine! Bless you and thank you. x

Even though you are safe, healthy, and prosperous you are allowed to get the blues. And it doesn’t mean you are ungrateful. Vent away - it helps!

Loved seeing Jack speeding along with his treat. Life in the old dog yet. I laughed out loud when you said all he does is sleep and wee in his nappy, too funny. Here in Victoria Australia our weather is awful at the moment, summer hasn’t turned up yet.

We have had tons of rain and short days here too. The rare moments when the sun shines through are brief. Love to you and Jack.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I can join you in the winter blues. It is so cold and dreary here in Pennsylvania. I do not like January or February at all. Still dark pretty early and bare trees, not much snow. The cold temps make it so hard to go out and do chores etc. Sunny days help when they arrive here and there. Good books help pass the time. You look fabulous. Mx

[@pamgobaira4587]

Oh Jack is so funny. He's on a mission.👍

[@kckazcoll1]

I always cry at sad movies :( It's not childish, Suzi. It just means you are a sensitive person and that's a good thing

[@notaclue822]

Sorry you're feeling down Suzie. It is that time of the year and as you said, you're not alone. This too shall pass. Xxx

[@susanthompson5091]

Hi Susie! I live in a part of Australia that is desperate for rain. Our dam is half full, and some dearly loved plants are almost on their way out. Bring on the rain!! Even though 2023 was a year that knocked me flat and tested my resilience and adaptability, 2024 will be a year of positivity and new beginnings. My yoga and meditation practice (chanting and guided meditation)were my companions all through the turmoil and will be throughout this year. My mum taught me that singing will instantly change your mood, as does a good laugh😂 ( something you're great at Susie). On the other end of the scale, I join you with crying in movies, as I've done this ALL my life 😢 Have a wonderful week, Susie and let's hope you can send some of the rain our way 🤗🇦🇺

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I'll do my best to send it your way and yes anything we can do to ground us is oh so wonderful. Off to Pilates today. x

I love Jack… so glad to see him moving around 😊

[@shirleycarter2451]

Its great that you still have Jack, as it makes you get out even if for a small walk. Daughter works for Nottingham Wildlife Trust, and not been able to get to work this weekend because its flooded out still, and our son said on Friday coming back out of Nottingham after dropping friend off, that it took extra 3/4 hr because of the floods. Wish you well this coming week ❤

You're Definitely NOT alone... January is not ever a favorite month of the year for me. But it's only the last 3 weeks of it that bothers me most and I know I can make it to 3:03 February....we've GOT this, and seeing you here makes it all the better. Thank you Suzi! ❤😊

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Yay another January non-fan. I'm going to book an overnight in London and go shopping to cheer me up!!! Haven't done it for over a year and it will be something to look forward to - and more to film! x

[@maxinebaskerville6020]

@AlternativeAgeing Yes! That will be great fun to watch for sure! It has been very cold in Arizona and it had snowflakes at my house in Phoenix. Pretty rate, it was so Great! I appreciate this weather bc in a couple of months Heat is on.😆 We got this! ❤️

[@olarisi]

Hi Suzi!! Thanks for the healthy tips! I am happy to see Jack so energetic and strong when walking home. Keep wearing red lipstick, the one at the beginning of the video, as it makes your skin tone and your facial features wonderful. Have a nice week! Paolaxxx

Thank you. x

[@mariarooney6262]

I was just talking about this with my 13 year old grandson, and he said he experiences SAD. I explained what it is and that it’s temporary and the tools that help like eating well, exercise and the light made for this that I use and helps. Thanks for all the conversation about what most of us are experiencing going from the hustle, bustle and highs of the holidays, weather change, but “this too shall pass”😂. I have many goals and plans in all areas of life for the first time in many years, so that’s good. “Spring hasn’t failed us yet”. We have that to look forward to. 🌷🌸🌼. It’s always great and encouraging to see all of your vlogs no matter what, because , being human, we can relate to one another on many issues. Thanks again, Suzi. 🤗

[@AlternativeAgeing]

What a lovely message Maria and well done you for helping your grandson. Boys and men suffer so much much more than us. And yes I agree, I have great plans and goals to work towards this year and can see bulbs pushing their way through already! Am very happy today and it's Monday morning so yes "this too will pass". Big love. x

We' re in New Zealand and getting a pretty cool summer here too, though not as bad as you showed outside. Susie your skin is looking great. You can really see how well you take care of your skin.

Thank you so much! xx

[@carolscott9973]

Happy New Year Suzi; I love the black glasses, they flatter your skin colour and your hair colour. January is such a difficult month for so many people, it can be a let down after the busy holiday season as well as being dismal and cold. I think that so many of us suffer from SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder, so the January blues are relatable to so many people.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I've got the SAD light out when decluttering the room under the stairs!!! It's going on today and onwards. But the High Fives really helped too! Glad I'm not alone. x

[@Annie-qu9ik]

Hi from Annie it is ok to feel bit down and sad we all do at times, no shame attached to it well there shouldn't be just let yourself feel whatever it is....weather here in Adelaide has been hot humid windy with that dust from north etc it is awful, can't really go out in that weather, not used to all this humidity have to change clothes several times a day and shower few times too.We sweat so much from humidity no nice at all. You have not got the energy to exercise or do housework even, you feel lethargic etc not pleasant at all. We hang our for that cool change and like the rain if it behaves itself

[@gaylehunter6187]

Happy New Year Suzi, chin up Spring is round the corner 🙂. I don’t make new year resolutions either, but I am challenging myself to go a whole year without buying any more clothes, not even preloved purchases. I’m shopping my wardrobe and going to wear what I have already got. I’ve also started sketching and am finding it very therapeutic. Take care, love to the gorgeous Jack 💕xx

Its cold and damp all the time and gray skies.So I'm moving to sunny Arizonia in the middle of the desert! I love lots of sunshine it makes all the difference in the world to my well being and mood. I wish you would do a trampoline workout with all of us,that would be fun, and how about doing a face yoga that we could all do along with you and watch the results.Thank you that was a wonderful video. Happy New Year!

That awful sea mist, fret as it’s called here. I remember it so well on the coast of California and the June gloom in LA last time I was there! I’m like you and need sunshine every day, not heat, just sunshine. I’m very happy today ‘cause I have had 3 solid days of sunshine and it’s very cold. I don’t do a trampoline workout I’m afraid, I just put whatever the radio if playing and bounce or run for the length of the track at least twice a day. But I can work on it! And also don’t know any face yoga as I’m not an expert. But I will look into that too x

Happy new year Suzy !! I’m like you constantly moaning about the weather ! Hate January! And February 😂❤ suns shining today so let’s make the most of it xx

We need to live somewhere warmer and sunnier for those 2 months. I don't need silly heat, just sunlight. Meet in Lanzarote next year? And if Jack's still alive he's bloody well coming with me! I actually dreamed I was in Portugal with him and a bike and had forgotten his rabies certificate!!!!

Hi Suzy. I saw Wanka with my grandchild two days ago. We loved the movie! My grandchild nine year said it wasn’t just good it was very good. I loved the top and the pants you wear in the beginning of the vlog! Always nice to hear from you ❤ Christina

Hello Suzi I have been feeling down this week, and now I have a rotten cold, but things can only improve from now. I have seen that Tim Spector has done a collaboration with M and S to produce a probiotic shot that looks interesting. Hope the weather improves so we can all get out and about a bit more. xx

So sorry about your cold, wish you better. And yes I saw the Tim Spector ad last night and nearly fell off my sofa! I'll give it a whirl after I finish Symprove. Let me know if you get it. x
