After losing my husband of 48 years last year, I never really want to go anywhere but when I get off my backside and mingle, even a quick trip round M&S and a cheery “hello” to a neighbour, I feel so much better. ❤

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Good girl, that's the way to do it. I am so sorry for your loss, I can only imagine how tough that must be talking as someone who still cries about losing her dog - of only 17 years!!! Take good care and get out, get out, get out!!!!! Big love. Suzi x

[@kellyreid2962]

I work from home and find it hard to motivate myself to go for a walk. My Marks is closing on 16 Nov. Fingers crossed yours doesn't x

[@danoyse8233]

@@kellyreid2962please get outdoors. I lost my eldest son in November 2020, COVID. My gp prescribed, ‘make your bed,brush your teeth, wash your face, get outside for a few minutes of daylight, drink water.’ At that point, very difficult to consider. No medication. I suffer with SAD to begin with. I kept these prescribed directions in mind and each day gradual changes happened.I, struggling at the moment, but finding comments and direction from you tube and commenters is motivating. Thank you.

Hello from Florida! I follow Jo Good and saw you two together and now here we are! It’s lovely to meet you. I especially enjoyed viewing your walks on the pebbly beaches where you live. Absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Your advice on getting out, walking and exercising and being amongst people is spot on! I’ve found that many people in their 60’s are lonely and once you strike up a conversation, with a smile, they reciprocate. Have a beautiful day and looking forward to your next vlog.

[@jenniferyates8100]

Love the colour of your new jumper, beautiful. 😄👍

[@thriftytowers7160]

Thx for the encouraging words. I often feel lonely and it drags me down so that I can't be bothered to do anything much... which then makes me feel worse... a vicious circle. Good to be reminded that I am not alone in feeling this way.

[@MGE9436]

I'm the same. Some days are such a drag, but when I force myself to do a few chores I feel so much better.

Hi from W Sussex! I’m going to be 73 in a minute and lost my lovely dog 9 months ago. Since then my sofa has become my best friend 😔. Never were truer words spoken! Thanks for the gentle kick up the bottom! ❤xx

Have only just found you online, cr u going to get another dog? Don't know if you are much younger than me, I am 71, and rescuing another dog is such a positive mood booster..for him and me. Love the channel Regards Helen

[@i3ka]

I'm so sorry to read that you've lost your little friend. I'm 77 and my little dog is my perfect companion. She gives me comfort, purpose and gets me out of the house each day. It seems that for each loss we suffer it takes longer to heal, but we do eventually heal. God Bless you. ❤

@ thank you! ❤️

[@Found-in-France]

Well what a breath of fresh air you are. 🌞 I clicked on your video because of the title as I've had a blue weekend and did just what I shouldn't after a demanding and stressful week - cancelled activities and stayed inside all weekend. I live a solo life down in the South of France and have recently joined the senior sisters with a KZbin channel about life over sixty here. Two weeks ago I felt fabulous then got a spanner in the works...... but you're chat about getting out is what I needed to hear. Merci 🙏

[@hemacdonald400]

My cousin has a great saying, “I am grateful for what I have, and what I don't have” Aging is challenging, and I agree with you, keep moving if you are able, engage with people and get outside in the fresh air.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Great cousin's tip. Big love, Suzi x

[@kchristinecarr6320]

Hi Suzi! Yes, wise words. When we live alone, we have to get out of the house and see people. I’m trying to keep up my healthy diet and lifestyle, having been recently diagnosed with leukemia. It appears to be serving me well, as I don’t have any of the nasty side effects i’ve Heard about. Fingers crossed that you can move soon!

[@IvyRoad]

This too... as they say. I'm so sorry that you're struggling at the moment. That's rotten, of course, but you have been through a lot of very high stress stuff in a short time. I trust in your ability to recover your usual buoyancy in time. Re cutting your hair short: Don't do it! I look best with my hair up with bits down, or with a precisely cut shag. I can't afford the frequent upkeep of a precisely cut shag, but I keep forgetting that and cutting my hair short... and then having to grow it out again! It's easier to put it up than it is to grow it out! And, when we cut our hair during a time when we aren't particularly happy... well, it can add to the general air of disaster ;0). Anyway, love you! Carry on, fabulous woman❤ Carry on!

[@IvyRoad]

PS: I have ME and I can't get out. It's a challenge because I am, by nature, a people-loving extrovert. I'm pretty much housebound, and the view from my window is the bricks of the building next door. It's a challenge. I've had it for decades, but was able to work, travel and get about until I was in my 50s, and now I'm 72 and stuck inside. But, as your friend said, I haven't got bombs raining down on me! My work, when I was able, was documenting poverty around the world. I know how lucky I am. That really helps. I'm so excited about your flat!!! :0)

[@IvyRoad]

AND, finally, thanks so much for sharing honestly ❤

[@AlternativeAgeing]

@@IvyRoad I hope you can get friends to visit more. It is so important. Maybe you could join a club on-line and get to meet more people in your area who will then visit? Suzi x

[@IvyRoad]

@@AlternativeAgeing Thanks, Suzi :0) Friends are quite willing to visit, but I simply do not have the necessary energy to entertain, or to get myself and my home presentable for guests - it's all barely presentable to me and that takes my all. I do have a very engaged life online with lots of friends, and I maintain an art practice, slowly in tiny increments, but always moving forward. Also, and bizarrely, I remain very interested in style and am generally the best dressed person in the MRI waiting room :0) Finally, I'm an optimist, so I continue to believe, much of the time, that I am one tweak away from recovery. It can pay to be delusional ;0)

[@MarieByrne-ci8lh]

You're so right about binge watching, it fills time but can be so depressing! Getting out for a long walk everyday is a life saver for me and my anxiety becomes more manageable when I get home. So sorry you're feeling up and down but you are going through a few challenges at the moment. It is really tough being on your own and only those that do really know what that vulnerable feeling is really like. Loving your vlog and thank you again for being so honest, it helps us all

[@janegoodfellow1529]

I NEVER feel like leaving the house. But I ALWAYS feel the benefit. And you are SO right - we don't need money, or even much time, to do something positive and productive, including engaging with passers-by who may ALSO be feeling low and lonely. So grateful you are here, being our unofficial life coach, reminding us of what can help ❤ I started litterpicking with a local group about a year ago, then I bought my own litterpicker, and now I go out by myself 2 or 3 times a week, helping to keep my local area tidy. It's just about the most uplifting thing I do, and great exercise too (walking, stretching, bending, lifting!).

[@AlternativeAgeing]

How funny you should say that, I started my day off this morning helping clean our local beach! it is so uplifting you are so right. I am exhausted now! And thank you for the lovely comment., Suzi x

[@jeanettecorbett4704]

How lovely to litter pick on the beach With nice people.

“Every day we wake up breathing is a bonus”… I was told this by a gentleman who had suffered a massive heart attack..it changed his outlook on life and mine to.

[@munchkinheaven7877]

I would think twice about cutting it short. I am 70 and my hair was almost to my waist but because of fibromyalgia I couldn’t put combs in or dry it as it hurt my arms so it is now cropped short, but with longer hair you can choose to have it long or change to short by putting it up, I would leave it personally if you can cope with it!

[@janicepym5158]

I think your hair would look great a little shorter…go for it! X

[@marygiacobetti4678]

You're so lucky, you have thick hair. I'm 67 and my hair has thinned a bit. Love your new blue and red sweater. Very nice! Good luck with your move. It's horrible that they leave you hanging like that! Very stressful!

[@victoriagadd6831]

The unloading helped me. I know how fortunate we are but… mood (hormones/brainwaves/temporary life challenges) and on your own. I also moved (countries) which talk about anxiety and the age doesn’t help - we don’t handle anxiety and stress the same. Generally I’m like you but there are days … Def getting out, exercise and interacting with people (and dogs!) is positive. Thanks for your lovely channel. Love it

[@MedinaJones-j1t]

Hello dear Suzi!! I know you are dealing with a lot- what with your move and all, but I wanted to say thanks for posting this video!! For the past few years, I’ve been trying to not let myself become paralyzed from anxiety!! I got let go from my job of twenty years during the pandemic and I’m still struggling to find my footing!! Your advice of not letting yourself wallow in your misery is helping me tremendously!! I’m trying not to be sedentary and get out more- even when I don’t feel like it!! It does help!! I hope you get things sorted with your move soon!! Thanks for another great video!! Look forward to seeing more from you soon!! Blessed to you, dear Suzi- from across the pond!!🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I hear you and am so sorry you have been through this horrid patch but I promise you that my mantra for each day is really working: get out, get out, get out!!!! I didn't feel like it this morning but came back happy and awake, before my morning coffee. Can't wait to be doing it in my new flat in the communal garden! So happy to help and keep us posted. Big love, Suiz x

@ Thanks Suzi!!🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍

You're so blessed to be healthy and you appear to be relatively pain free. Some of us suffer from chronic pain that can be very debilitating; it's quite difficult to get out and about. Not easy facing life going to bed with pain and waking up with pain, but we do the best we can. Thank you for your upbeat outlook and for sharing your interesting life.

@@AlternativeAgeing My old dog Pippins ( male fox terrier - had him from pup) died this year age 14. Now i bought a brown wire-haired Dachshund pup midi size on 2 sept. It is only joy ! I recommend small female dogs: Less food, less poop. Easy to handle. Not pissing everywhere. Even allowed in an airplane. Called her Dulce and sweet she is. I have an other dog called Nola. She is a Dachshund x Havanezer. She is age 7 and have her since dec. 2016. Havanezer do smell real good like hay!! So does Nola. No hair loss either!

[@gillmolony6781]

I believe many of us ageing folk are in the same position... life is good in many ways and we are totally grateful but there are times where we feel perhaps a spot lonely, invisible, no get up and go and wonder if we've missed something in life that others seem to have but we don't. Maybe I'm just a twit. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for sharing Suzi, good advice. I need to get out more too. I volunteer at a local charity which is a great thing to do, but I think taking more walks out in the sunshine is also going to be of great benefit.

[@rudie280]

Loved your video, loved your new , bright color top, and loved your red lips! I think you would look amazing with short hair! You pull it back most of the time anyways! I remember a pic of you with short hair decades ago! Hair grows! Fresh style cures the doldrums! 😘

[@essanjay8604]

Oh yes, get yourself a super trendy pixie cut, you'll never look back. Bobs are just too much hard work! I reckon you timed your move just right. Who knows what's going to happen in the housing market with all these stamp duty hikes. You're so right about getting out of the house. I try to every day. Even just for short walk can lift one's spirits.

[@barbaranichols5261]

Astonishing how many people all feel the same and have a problem with motivation to do Something and feel better. This seems especially difficult if you’re retired (speaking for myself here!) I wonder if it’s always been like this but no one used to talk about their Feelings and just got on with it. I wish I could! Struggling with getting out of the front door whilst we have Weather. And on we go! Thinking of you all out there. We’re clearly not alone!

[@ruthdennisKnits]

You are so right. I hadn’t left my home for 5 days and I was very down. It’s been rain storming for 3 days. Today I go to my ceramics class if the storm passes. If not then I will go out tomorrow. THANK YOU

[@danoyse8233]

Ruth, if it’s raining and you have the right clothes on, I think it’s quite envigorating. Take a few good breaths. Wearing glasses as I do, can be a pain, so I wear a visor. If it’s windy I wear a wooly hat to keep the visor from blowing off. What a vision! Coming in to the warm/dry after being frazzled in the weather brings a certain peace and soothing. As long as you have somewhere to put your wet gear. Keep moving on❤

[@colinbullinaire5980]

Another great Vlog Suzi. I LOVE both tops you bought in Lisbon. If you aren’t happy with your hair, have it cut shorter. New apartment, new hair !!! So pleased everything moving ahead with your new home and you will be moving soon 🤞 very exciting!! And no you don’t look 10 years older, you may feel it with all the stress of the move but you definitely don’t look it !! Take care lovely and have a great week xxx❤️😘

I really think a much shorter Bob would suit you. Just level with your jawline. That would really suit you. If you do cut it really short please leave the fringe as it really suits yr face shape and is very flattering. Congratulations on yr new flat and really look forward to following yr progress. You are very inspiring and entertaining and genuine and I love your vlogs. Keep going and wishing you an interesting and exiting time ahead. 🌈

The vintage blouse is beautiful. Have a good week. ❤️

[@deanahurcombe9990]

Hi Suzi I so love that blue blouse from Lisbon the striped top looks amazing. Don’t be too hasty with your hair you’ve so much going on and it’s effects us in many ways so that’s more than likely why your hair doesn’t feel good. It always looks so nice a shame to cut it off when you can put it up. I do hope you have good news re your move soon it will be nice to see you finally settled have a great week and I too walk as much as I can it’s great for your head and the thinking process As like you say we all get down. I lost my brother in February we were the last two of our family and now I feel so lost without them all but life goes on and those sad times go on too 🙃Keep ranting love to hear it 😊😊😊

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Moving on the 29th so all nearly settled!!! x

[@beverlyhardy4398]

Hi Suzie, you look fabulous as usual ❤️. I love your new tops especially the smocked one. I don’t believe short hair ages you as someone on here says, but I love your hair. I’m no good at fixing my hair so I keep it pixie length. I’m 72 and have had short hair for many years. You need to have your hair the way you want it…short or bob length…it will look great either way. Thanks for your vlog and sharing your life with us ❤️

[@kindmeanbristol808]

I have thick hair like you and had an undercut at the back and sides when I wore a bob. It is nice having the option when it is longer up or down. Short hair is high maintenance - but you know that anyway 😊 You look lush regardless ❤ wishing you well X

[@cosmicmauve]

I like seeing Amanda in your videos, such a talented artist and interesting person. You're right about getting out, I'm not particularly sociable but I make an effort to go out, it makes a difference. I would add that people should try something that scares them a bit. Example: go to a Karaoke club and sing on stage alone, not with your friends up there. Every time I do it (3 times now) my heart is pounding and after it's finished I'm thrilled! The last time I went I went on my own because everyone bailed out on me, but I was comfortable in the place since I had been before, people are friendly. I didn't stay long but I did it.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

That's a brillient idea and you went on your own, that is AWESOME. I will follow your lead since everyone is so friendly in Brighton! x

[@Julie-ii9px]

Love love love the striped top styled any way but all of your new clothes looked great. I like your hair tied back. I also liked your short cut when you showed us photos of your glamorous past. The photo with Kylie I believe. Go for it if you want you can always grow it back. Quite right about getting out, nice if you can go with a purpose a nice cup of coffee on the beach, a trip to the library etc, doesn't need to involve spending money.

[@kellyreid2962]

Yes I need to leave home more often, now I go out only for work, yard work and to feed my colony cats but due to awful pain this year and a following surgery that was really painful, I have become a hermit. Not bored because I love reading and watching programs but staying in all the time is not good for my mental health. Maybe today I'll go to the beach, a 10 minute drive away and gorgeous Florida cooler weather. Can't you use the tracker app to locate the missing airpod? Hoping you get into your new place soon...and give us a tour, before and after,

Hi Suzi, yes. I have good Scottish friend who tried to buy a house outside of London a couple years ago. What a wild way to do transactions. He ended up not getting the one he wanted. It makes much more sense in the US. I do love your hair. But I understand wanting it very short. I too always wear mine in ponytail even though it is long. I might as wall have it short.

Trying a creative class in my community, getting together with a knitting group, or just finding a way to volunteer in the community… When you’re giving and helping others, it takes the focus off of one self… Then I stop feeling sorry for myself. Gorgeous outfit! Gorgeous makeup-you look very youthful, darling !

[@sharonheppell8378]

Ah Suzzie I can just see sweet Jack pondering up leafy lane with you!!!! Sweet sweet memories, you could see he loved it ❤️ ♥️ 💕

Hi Suzi!! I missed this vlog so going backwards but always love to watch. Love your coast still, I think you've lost weight. Do love the new top from the vintage store untucked is great. I do love your hair. Mine is salt & pepper more pepper other than front with no fringe & very long about 6 inches past my shoulders always wearing it in sort of a clip or pony use purple shampoo & occasionally add dry shampoo to give clarity to white as have well water. Can't stand hair in my face but I know in past winters hated shorter hair so may wait until spring to cut it shorter. With severe neck issues now it's not physically fun to spend much time with arms up tending to it more. I felt your frustration with what was happening with the new flat. Is the owner wanting more money or haven't found where to go? Amanda always has a beautiful smile 😍. Happy Belated Birthday 🎂! Yes v neck girl. Is this where someone said you cut her off? Only a little. I smile when I hear you say you're not supposed to buy new things 😊. Sometimes we need to others want to. But still we care & do our best. It's getting cooler than sweater weather here & dark so much earlier. In next video though the new flat is a go & loved the tour; don't recall a date?? My fur babies fat kitten & old tiny sweetheart of a chihuahua are loves. I do also need to move not sitting over an hour; alarm is a good tip ! I need to walk my Hershey in a minute. I do love my animal family but I don't travel anymore 😢. Yes get up & move. I think though winters might be a time to replenish. Each day seek peace, care & do something. Add being a kind human. There's such division in my country, hopeful. Big hugs 🤗. ❤

[@jeansutton2127]

Exactly the same thing happened to me I sold and went into rented to speed the process up, it worked in reverse! No one in the forward chain hurried because they knew I was just sitting there.after 3 months I lost my patience and threatened to pull out soon got things moving. 😂

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I'm moving on the 29th! It all worked. Awful isn;t it?! Never again! x

[@MGE9436]

Suzi, our clocks have changed for summer. I have to wait another hour now to watch your vlogs 😮 your words of wisdom resonate with many, especially me ⚘️ Anticipating your move to happen, the vendor has fluffed around too much. Men honestly 😫

[@deborahharding135]

Would love to see you with short hair. I say go for it!

[@karenlowes7802]

Short hair can look very chic!

[@karenallington2359]

Love your attitude x

[@EsteeWalts]

At first when i saw the thumbnail i thought the shadow of the window was part of the dessin of a dress. I liked it very much! 😂

[@elaineroom6358]

How lovely to have the resources for a holiday whenever you need one.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Only because `I have downsized! That's the main reason I did it. x

[@suzannelebuis3520]

Hi Suzi!! Suzy here, Jersey girl! USA. Love watching you ❤️ So true about getting out and walking, doing things🎉 Love that you mentioned Bruce Springsteen! I'm from very close to Asbury Park, NJ Springsteen area. 😊❤

[@kaz1067]

Hi Suzi, I prefer your shirts and tops out and not tucked in, love your weekly vlogs and your hair is fabulous, don't cut it, have layers cut and grow it, you can then leave it long or tie it back, hope you get to move into your new unit very soon

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

That blue and orange top looked wonderful on you. When I feel blah I just try to move about, a walk or a run. Usually it helps, if not then off to bed with a plan for the next day!

[@karentownsemd2117]

Both tops tucked in for me and the jeans are great you don’t need new . Also the words ‘it will pass’ may help

[@jenniferyates8100]

Looking good.😄👍🌟
