It's Never Too Late To Get Happy

[@emmylou-y4b]

I just want to add one more thing. Nancy is not only an inspiring coach; she's a wonderful daughter!

[@coachnancy9118]

Thank you for your kind words, V.1954. My mother had a very tough life and is true inspiration. It's an honor to care for her and give her the love and care she needs.

[@ponygirl5716]

I recently retired. Loving every minute. My job had gotten to the point where people didn’t really talk to each other that much-morale was horrible-so the social aspect was almost nothing. The job was so stressful in general that I would be tied up in knots and frustrated pretty much all day long. The way I looked at it was that for every year I worked, the job was taking two years off my life. So I’m finally free. And loving every minute of it! :-) :-) :-)

[@emmylou-y4b]

I felt the same way. I retired almost 4 years ago; I intended to wait another 9 mos. for my 65th birthday. However, conditions were so stressful that I.left earlier. I am so happy that I'm out of there. It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows but the pros outweighed the cons.

[@kelmartjack]

Geez, I don't remember writing that but it sure sounds like my job. Oy Vey! I have 8 years left.

Good for you! I retired under stressful conditions in June 2017. I put it all behind me and haven’t seriously looked back.

[@DAS769]

I'm hearing every word. Glad you are happy now. 👍😇 Enjoy your well deserved retirement. Ride the pony 🐴 I was in the same situation in the same year 2017. I would have rather slapped them in the face than speak to them. "Co-worker and chain of command". And during those stressful times, My wife of 19 years decided to go astray. Then I was stress free! And I thank her for leaving! Amen 😇 And, that proves Jerry and Linda's point. "It's never too late to get happy 😁😁😇

Jerry and Linda...thank you so very much for this video. I am a "soloager" (never heard that term before either!), and being 61, just losing my long-term partner, and experiencing some health issues, I have become depressed. This lovely inspirational lady gave me some light and hope. Love you guys!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Phyllis, that makes it all worthwhile for us. Thank you for letting us know, and best of luck to you!🙂🙂🙂

[@ginnythurler2616]

Nancy's comments were great. And she is so upbeat! I think that is another factor in a happy retirement. Keep a positive attitude.

[@coachnancy9118]

You got that right, Ginny! A positive attitude is key to happiness, at any age. Though due to the challenges we can experience as we age, it is harder to keep a positive outlook. To stay positive, we can be grateful for making it this far in our lives and so much more. We can create and post positive affirmations in our home. And we must always remember to laugh! Thanks for watching the show!

So enjoyed you guest today. I retired at 62,as a Landscaper Designer. My husband is still working, as a pilot examiner. We have traveled all over, cruising, just enjoying life. Then in 2016 our life changed, when we became guardians of our great granddaughter. It is now time for our son and DIL, to take over. We are now 81 & almost 80. My husband had surgery in April, & thought he was done flying. But the Dr. gave him the ok to return to work. It’s been hard on our family, because of our granddaughter, being on drugs - but because of our God, We have survived! Love your videos! 👍🏻🙏🏻

Great video! Can’t wait to check out The Villages! I wonder if I’ll be able to walk my Siamese cat there, lol, he’s dog-like. We are retired and very healthy, right now, living in South Florida now, for 5 years. But, 66 and 74 now. The reason we want to check out the Villages is the many AMENITIES this place seems to offer. And, the opportunities to make some friends. It seems that in the Villages that if you lose your spouse, (God forbid, but unfortunately will happen) you won’t be so lonely, as you would be living elsewhere, even in beautiful S. Florida.

What an interesting episode! Jerry and Linda , I always watch your videos and this one hit home. Last night for no specific reason I felt very down. Having Nancy in today inspired me at the perfect time! I am a widow, age 67, living in my own home here near Atlanta, originally from Pittsburgh area and Greensburg, Pa. I lost my hubby 5 years ago and my mom 2 years ago. I have no kids so I guess I am a solo ager! I am still healthy and work part time these days. But I really need to put my butt in gear. Again, thanks for the wonderful episode today. Have a great week!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Sue, thank you for your comment. Sometimes, since we are together all the time, we forget that there are many people out there that have lost their partners. That must be a difficult adjustment. Nancy gave us some great advice about staying busy, and getting out there making new friends and trying new things. At 67 you may have 25 years left! Stay in touch with us and let us know how you are getting along!

[@coachnancy9118]

Hi Sue, You sure have had some tough losses over the past few years. Sorry to hear. Your situation does make you a soloager. I am happy to hear your are still healthy and work part time.

Love watching Jerry and Linda. I really enjoyed listening to the life coach. The three of you are so bubbly and positive. I want to move to the Villages. Trying to make the change of moving from around my family. The fear of not being able to afford the villages. I need to make some major changes but it is scary. Trying to sale my small farm and to be able to move. I am at a point in my life that I say to my self…..what am I going to do for the rest of my life? I had a heart attack recently so I am afraid to do anything. Thank you Jerry and Linda for giving me encouragement to change my life.

[@coachnancy9118]

Hi Tracy, Frances has a good point about being near family or friends to help you when you get sick, as well as having healthcare services nearby. I don't know where you are or what is near you. But living on a farm can be remote and risky as we age. While The Villages is wonderful, there are other options. Sometimes, we just have to do what we have to do. If you need help sorting things out, I would be happy to help you.

Excellent video Jerry and Linda. I don't live at the Villages, I live in Central Florida, but regardless Nancy's pointers were presented well that as a retiree I should be doing for myself. There are senior centers and other areas I can get involved with as well. Always look forward to seeing your videos. The grandkids are adorable by the way!

[@coachnancy9118]

Hi Zelma, you are right. My pointers apply to any and all retirees. We need to keep our mind and body active to better enjoy our golden years. Senior Centers are a wonderful opportunity to stay engaged. I recently coached a woman from Rhode Island. She is a soloager and had been fairly isolated for the past six years. She loved to read all day on her couch. While reading is a wonderful, healthy activity, she wanted more in her life. After we chatted and discovered her interests, skills, and desires, she now goes to her local Senior Center where she created a quilting club. She is enjoying her golden years. It just takes getting started. You got this, Zelma.

That does not last all day, for example like April and May or September & October. We actually like the weather here. Every place indoors is air conditioned and outdoors when you're in your cart you can have the window down and a nice breeze the entire time you're rolling. Direct exposure to the sun can be very hot. Standing on concrete in midday, or even on a golf course green you can feel the heat radiating. Even on the hottest days many of the evenings are so nice. Just beautiful. We have learned to adjust pretty well. We still watch a lot of TV midday in the summer. Those are good times to work on your crafts. Maybe take up whittling or play an instrument, whatever.

Hi Grandpa Eric, Yes. The heat can be tough. Be careful up there. I always said to myself, I could never live in Florida because of the heat and humidity. I always struggled with them during Pittsburgh summers. However when I moved here, I was surprised at how the heat doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. There are continuous breezes and AC. The body cools down quicker than it heats up. The cold doesn't go through my bones anymore, and I can go outside year round in shorts. Outdoor activities are enjoyed in the morning or evening. I don't have to drive or tredge around in the cold, snow, and ice. There are more positives with the tradeoffs. But I will say, there is something to be said for crisp fall air and a white Christmas.

I wanna say also you guys are such a cute couple! Seeing a couple like you makes me want to find love again someday. My second marriage was to a wonderful man who was my soulmate and although I had three grown children basically and he and I did not have children together he was the love of my life; he died of cancer some years back. I am still hopeful I will find someone to enjoy my retirement with one day.

Great job, Dennis.

[@coachnancy9118]

Bravo! Way to go, Dennis! As you know, a healthy lifestyle makes a huge difference. At times, I'm sure it was or maybe still is tough. It takes three weeks to three months to change a habit. Keep up the good work!

@@coachnancy9118 Thanks for the positive feedback! I can't take all the credit for self control. I've found as you get older the appetite tends to be reduced, at least that's true for me and my wife.

[@janetpartyka5968]

Some people need encouragement and are afraid because they might not have the confidence to do things and they may not know many people. Get a list of new comers, call them and see if they need help getting started. It could be a club someone could start and it would be free. You may already have a club like that. Or, at the dances, make an announcement for people to sign up.

[@travlntam]

I really enjoyed today’s guest! Please be careful if you try Virtual Reality it can be quite disorienting making it very easy to fall. I would suggest having someone standing by to catch you or just use a chair. At least until you know what your getting into. My first time my family had me virtually going up in an elevator open the door and step out. Simple enough however when the doors opened I was on the top of a skyscraper building and needed to step out into thin air. It’s really bizarre how it messes with your brain I knew I was safe in my living room and just needed to step forward but I just couldn’t. I’m not even afraid of heights! I was definitely afraid of falling!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

I am toying with the idea of getting one of those hot oculus headsets.

Oh my. Thank you so much for sharing, Tami. My mother has balance issues. So, she would definetly need to be seated. If I do purchase one, I will surely sit at first too. Glad you enjoyed the show.

[@oceandreamer1958]

Great video! Great timing! My husband, Mark just retired a week ago today! He has struggled with the decision to retire. So far, he has played golf almost every day. I know that he will struggle along the way. I’m just hoping he can enjoy life and the freedom to choose. After a 26 year military career, and then a second 23 year career, I’m hoping he can enjoy life. This was great! Thanks!

[@coachnancy9118]

Thank you, Debbie. I am glad it hit home for you. Congrats to Mark for his retirement! Yes...with his career record, he may want to unretire fairly soon as he goes through the huge adjustment period. I too hope he can enjoy life. You too!

[@hildacollier2638]

I think it's sad when a person has no interests in life and all they know is work. I retired at 58 ( and now I'm 75) and have been so busy I don't know how I ever had time to work. Lots of what I do is work. I just don't get paid for it. I've bought several houses and redone them and done much of the work myself. Which I love doing. It's physically harder than the work I did when working but I love it. I guess I do get paid for it but not as a salary. Eventually when I sell the house I get paid. I'm not flipping. Just doing it for.myself. The older I get, the busier I get. And I don't do any of those things people do just to take up time.

[@coachnancy9118]

WOW! You are amazing and such an inspiration, Hilda. When we find "work" we love, we really aren't "working". We are simply enjoying what we are doing. Enjoyment brings fulfillment. Fulfillment brings happiness. Keep enjoying.
