My motivation is that I live alone and if I don't do it, nobody's going to. I have lots of land and take care of it by myself - take care of all the upkeep on my home pretty much by myself. Some days I just can't do it, and some I have to force myself, but it all gets done, at a little slower pace now, but it gets done. Moving your body is the key - if you don't move it - you lose it

Good morning Nanny. Agree with you💯. So good to listen to our bodies. My husband of 57 years and I hold hands and say a prayer every night before bed and I put some wonderful smelling anointing oil on myself. This helps me sleep. You made me tear up talking about our Lord and Savior. We will never meet here on this earth but as spirits in Heaven we will definitely be looking for you both. God bless you for all you do to make this world a better place. Your world is a little slice of Heaven for us all.🙏🥰🌷💐🌹🥀

Hi it is Annie from Australia it's amazing you both been married 63yrs and I am 64 going on 65 yrs of age so you have been married most of my life that sounds amazing. You are such an inspiration to me and you always put a smile in my heart too. Seeing how much you all love each other is a bonus. My life is very quite I still have not seen my daughter 45yrs old and her three children for the last 9-10yrs it has been heart breaking really has it is her second huby that has stopped all contact etc not sure what he has over her as she used to me so close to me before?? I had heart failure about 10yrs ago just after this started with her as not knowing if she and grand kids were ok it just breaks the heart. Well on 5 heart meds since the left ventrical problem and currently my heart capacity is only 34% function it should be higher like 60 or so and I feel tired a lot and short breathe etc the side effects of meds make this more so, I get very depressed as used to walk 10km a day before all this and had lots more energy etc I wish I could get back to that, The stress and worry and anxiety have been a heavy load and I try to let go and relax if I can easier said than done, but I keep busy with hobbies etc.I do pray and meditate a bit do some mild exercise etc but like you do not get those 8hrs of sleep they recommend I get about 4-5 hr total and am up n down all night if not the bathroom then with panic anxiety wake up gasping for breathe at times and often have odd dreams etc I doze of at tv and computer during the day a lot and it is bothersome....never done that ever before till now. Lately I even fell asleep standing up while making a hot drink that scared me as the dog jumped up to wake me sweet dog cares so much for me and the two cats too they jump up on me when I doze of at tv or computer too. But lately I have been walking around awake one moment and asleep the next bit like sleep walking did tell local family doctor but he ignored it, I think it is to do with my low heart function n lack of sleep etc maybe lack of nutrients as been low in Iron etc taking supplements thou and that protein powder you recommended and skin hair and nails are stronger, God bless you all.

Nanny, again I do hope you know how much you help others in this community. Your chats, your wisdom is more impactful BECAUSE you are not some expert, but just one of us. You are amazingly intuitive and your spirit just shines through. I have gone to speaking out loud, my gratitude journal daily when I walk. My love of 55 years asked me…..”And then where does it go if not in a journal?” I just answered, …It goes into the cloud! Humor helps so very much as we celebrate more birthdays. Like you, my backyard is my sanity and my sanctuary. I used to have my morning coffee with the news, but now I will have it with the birds. A much nicer way to begin my day.

I like to get outside in all kinds of weather. I think we're supposed to experience cold and hot weather. When my husband had cancer the doctor prescribed sunshine. He said for him to get up early and let it shine on his face and he told him to squint.😊 He said something about his internal clock. My aunt told me to walk barefoot sometimes. She says it grounds us. I think it feels good. i even stepped outside in the winter in my bare feet😅 It was exhilarating 😊

Nanny, you are speaking the truth about aging. I call it….work a little, sit a little….. arthritis dies steal our vigor, but we must keep moving. I do not enjoy shopping anymore. I usually do our big shop on line at Walmart, and just pick it up. I reserve my energy for my day to day life, and doing things for my family and husband. Keeping up with laundry, kitchen chores, cooking, cleaning, looking presentable, and all the other day to day takes a lot now. I really enjoyed your realistic view of how it really is. I think we fight reality often and get down on ourselves because our minds want to do more than our bodies will allow. Adding caregiver to the mix is an added energy drainer. But, it keeps me going. Love you and Moosie….I hope we are having this same conversation on your 95th year…and Moosie will be in the garden painting…..hugs judy

[@sharondevries1985]

Good morning Nanny. I just spent over an hour writing two long comments to you. I touched something and everything was erased. Right now I am very frustrated. I enjoyed today’s video very much because you showed everyone yourself, just as you are. I like seeing you without make up, in your jammies, and just talking to your friends. It is nice to see you with your make up, your hair done, and all dressed up with your beautiful jewelry, however sometimes it is nice to see you as we see ourselves. Sleep… Oh, what an issue! I call it nighttime napping. Awake, asleep, awake, asleep, all night long. I am a big believer in daytime naps. I find that if I am exhausted at night, I don’t sleep at all. If I take a daytime nap, I sleep better at night. As for boredom, I don’t know that I have ever been bored in my life. As a child, of course there was school and homework. Then I had hobbies. I always had things to do. I guess I am a very curious person and I love to learn. In a few weeks, I will be participating in a three day online class event. I do this twice a year. I have the preparations for it and then afterwards I have the things that I learned to work on. I am a big believer in pets. They bring us laughter and joy and love. My fur baby is always by my side. I am in constant pain and recently my health has been declining. But I have never been one to give into things. I push through, the tough times. In the mornings, I take my dog out, feed the birds and the squirrel and water my plants. That gets my body moving about as much as it can. I no longer drive and that is a huge challenge for me. Also, the lack of socialization. When you become limited in your mobility and sick, people, don’t want to be around you. You find out who your friends are. You know the old saying, “fair weather friends”. I used to volunteer at my local Senior Center. We did things with children from the local school. I love children and seeing things through their eyes brings a whole new outlook on life. I used to read to them and do a little events with them. We even made small Jars from clay. There are so many things to do for those of you who are still mobile. Our spiritual outlook is of the upmost importance. Prayer can be so comforting. I have cried through many conversations with God. My mother always said don’t question Him. That is one rule I find hard to follow sometimes. I do have a question for you. It is about technology. When the pandemic shut down occurred I begin sending out morning messages to all of my friends. I continue to do so. It is time consuming. Then there are the emails. I would love to get a personal email , however, I get ads and things that I have no idea where they come from. I am constantly swiping left and unsubscribing. This is very time consuming! I wonder how to shorten this, so that I am not spending time doing something that I really don’t enjoy. Well, I wish that I had not lost the other two letters, however, I have tried to begin again. Blessings to you both, love, Sharon.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

I so admire your fortitude , Sharon…to keep your spirits up despite constant pain and infrequent socialization…but you are right…nature, pets and the birds, flowers and the sunshine,e do help! I get totally overwhelmed with technology, too, Sharon…and I am going to have my techy granddaughter Ryan, help me out when she comes home from college in the summer. I am way behind on “clearing” out old mail, ads and stuff on my iPad…and my phone is a mess…delete ,I’ve discovered , doesn’t really rid the device of junk ….and how about those ‘scams”…they’re so confusing! insurance,Netflix expiring threats etc…they’re all fake! I am told they prey on the elderly! talk soon…❤️🙏

Thank you for the great video! A good way to start my weekend off, with some food for thought life advice. I appreciate getting the pointers. I tried to write key points down in my journal. I spent the last couple of days working on creative bill paying. I was fairly successful in, but afterwards needing a nap and listen to the birds, stop and smell the flowers kind of day, like you mentioned. I am a believer in naps, and sometimes you need an extended nap, the two -three hour nap. The other evening I actually found myself turning off the TV, and listening to the birds saying goodnight outside in the yard. Maybe as we age, we notice and appreciate more the simple (free) things in life. My mom used to say"Sit down and listen to the birds singing for a moment " Was very calming. I was going to say that, as an artist, when I get "artist block" and can't get motivated to paint, I put on some music to jar me loose out of my stuck mindset. Anything from Tony Bennet to Chopin will do the trick to improve my mood/attitude and motivate me to start working. Anyway, thought this might also be good for anyone trying to get out of a slump. Even listening to the radio sometimes. Okay I also turn on music in order to get the dishes done Nanny. Yes, it's come to that. I have to play music in order to motivate myself to do housework. I think that the isolation and lack of social interaction during the pandemic effected my physical health. But now I am trying to be proactive and get back into life activities. Thank you for sharing this with us Nanny. Such important information and so encouraging. I know that I am writing too much, but I appreciate. Take care and see you in the next video. You should think about doing a video chat special. I promise not to ask too many questions if you do. I was also going to say, when everything else fails, try saying your prayers. It seems to work every time for me. But actually best to remember to say prayers in the first place.♥️🙏☀️🌷🙂🤸🐦🌸

One suggestion I have started doing is working for 30-40 minutes then resting with something to hydrate me for 20-30 minutes. It may seem like a waste of time by resting but over the long haul things get done and I see progress which makes me feel better. Science is proving that just seeing accomplishments releases hormones in our bodies that do make us feel better and lessens the aches and pains.

Thank you, my friend for being so real!! I needed that advice so badly. As of told you, I have depression, and not doing those things that you mentioned, I obcess over not not doing them! That made me feel so much better! You answered my question, about all your energy! Love, your friend from SC. Yes, keep talking and sharing your life with us!!! I really do love and admire you! Jesus is the reason for everything! Made me want to cry with you when you talked about our Lord and savior! You are the best example of life, in my life! Marlene..

so happy you liked the video, MArlene…❤️

[@madamekrista]

So true about boredom being an energy zapper! And I relate about the putting away of groceries haha… least favourite chore for some reason.

[@marvaspence5252]

I enjoyed this video very much. Thanks for your so humane advice. Your 'me time' in the garden inspires. Thanks for always mentioning how grateful we must be.❤

Another very important video Nanny - very sage advice and observations. Your area outside with the birds, plants, flowers, and precious cats is utopia - you deserve that. You are so right - we have to listen to our own bodies - I've said for years - Whitney H had it right - "learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all " and we have to respect and love ourselves and care for ourselves, so we can be the best version of ourselves and then we can go forth and be that great friend, partner, work colleague, citizen .... I have started to take Chia seeds - natures wonder food - have you heard about the benefits Nanny - I just put in a glass of pure juice for 15 mins to let them expand - then it's a wonderful nutritious drink - I cannot believe the benefits in so many areas from these wonders - Anyhow thanks for your honesty, vivacity and general good cheer Nanny= stay fabulous - love Jas xx

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Jas…great outlook on like! No chia seed yet for me!❤️

Another wonderful video thank you

[@terrysanchez5205]

Dear nanny it's twenty twenty four and I am watching this eleven months after you made it. So much of what you say reflects how I feel.And think. This is such a good video I think people should watch it frequently. Thank you for putting so much effort and to trying to help us people out here LO.L

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

You are just beautiful in and out. This, to me, is your very best eye makeup look. It really make them pop.

Wow I think I’m normal for my age. Boredom is my main energy zapper so I try to find new interests. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-ux9xj5ni1z]

You are such a sweet example of a woman of faith, and you have inspired me to seek out a women’s Bible study, like the one I had years ago which I used to look forward to. Being around those women was such an affirming and uplifting way to be in a relationship with others!❤

Great video, Nanny. I too have a lot of hiccups that I push myself through. I wish I could fall asleep during the day when I'm totally exhaust but it doesn't work for me. I'm up every 2 or 3 hours during the night to go to the bathroom so I never get that sound sleep. Age sometimes can be a real challenge. I would like a Q & A. It would be fun to see if other ladies have the same issues. As a Catholic I still go to Mass weekly however I watch on computer and go out to Mass every few months to receive communion. The old legs don't work like they used to. Prayer is the only way I function daily. I give you a lot of credit to be able to do as much as you do for Moosie and for you home. Your garden and the birds work for you, you're blessed. Sending much love and hugs to you both. 🥰🙏

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Maureen…stay strong..🙏❤️

[@donnageesey9508]

Nanny, I am with you in all ways! Your advice is great! What BLESSES ONE BLESSES ALL! Faith is so important. I teared up when you talked about your faith. You certainly have “THE PEACE ✌️ OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE! You are so unselfish and giving and I have found these qualities bring me joy too! Thank you again for ALL the wonderful videos you share with your viewers!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Donna.🙏❤️

[@hildawehl3569]

Dearest Nanny I love this post. Very positive words just when we all need it. Always admire people who have been married for such long time. And I know No marriage are perfect. Its two imperfect people who decided to stay together through thick and thin. In the bad days and good days. Who still pray to our Abba God. May God bless each area of your and your hubbies life's. Hugs. Hilda

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Hilda, for the very nice comment..and God bless you, too.❤️🙏

[@dethanygrizz3290]

I Love You 😊! We both need Sunrooms, for those days of inclement weather. I put a camera in the tree outside so I can hear the birds singing early in the morning from the back of the house.....I love it!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

What a great idea, Dethany…❤️

[@elizabethmcluskie9370]

Wow what a great pod cast you are inspiring I pray God blesses you with many more years😊

[@LauraLopez-ux5tb]

❤ Every bit of what you said here is 💯 on point! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@phyllisdavis7543]

Great video, Nanny.

[@8Isabeau8]

Thank you! Why do we need to be told "it's OK" ? But it makes a difference. I feel better about things. I always wonder what's happening? Is this normal? I haven't anyone to compare myself to. Dr.'s always say "everyone is different." Yes But! You help so much, even understanding people who live with chronic pain and some disability. I do. But loving to do projects I try and try. I use the word INTEND instead of TRY. I am painting my tiny bathroom. Washing the walls and baseboards, getting up and down a ladder is very exhausting, quickly! But, as you say, a little at a time! Go too far and I'm laid up for a couple days. But then, up and at 'em again. Satisfaction brings me back! No denials just acceptance. I am Queen of denial. Cleopatra. Love you Nanny and Moosie! God bless you every day.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Such a great ‘real’ comment, my friend…and yet we ‘keep on going’… thanks so much…❤️

[@sandraolek118]

Thanks so very much for being both upbeat and honest. I love all your videos but my favorites are the ones about your family or your thoughts. God bless you❤❤

[@marcialane8235]

Wonderful topic…thank you for sharing tips on how to be more energetic..you are an inspiration for us all.

[@joansalter7453]

Enjoyed your video, such sweet words and so true, great inspiration and thanks for that,i am 79 now and feel very burned out at times. One thing you have is--- great weather, here in nova scotia the winter's seem never ending. I do find that nice weather is so wonderful and to get outside and enjoying nature boosts your spirits. Blessings to you and moose.
