For everyone who makes it through this year, you can make it through any other year.
Thank you
This year has broken me. I’m taking it one day at time. It’s all we can do. God Bless you Gary!
One day at a time is possibly the simplest way forward. We will get through this x
God bless you and your family. Prayer brings comfort. You have mine Bobbi.
@@debragundlach1749 that means so very much. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Take care, I’m struggling at the minute too, it’s so hard putting on a brave face in front of my family - they all just think “good old Lindsey/mum she just gets on with stuff, nothing bothers her” and that’s what they expect to see from me, yet here I am sat alone on my sofa crying and worrying about the future, the unknown, the what ifs etc, over eating and over thinking, worrying about the brain scan my 23 yr old daughter has to go for, worrying about the exams my 19yr old son has just taken as part of his job. Pre COVID I was not like this, it’s affected me just like it has you and many others, it’s hard, but I’m just trying to take it a day at a time.
Sending love and hugs to those in need right now xx
It must be hard being the matriarch of a family. They look to you for reassurance etc. As I said in the video, we’re human. You, we, all of us are doing the best we can. Take care of yourself Lindsey x
@@garyc 😍
Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you. As a mum its hard when you have to push yourself every day to keep going and not acknowledge you're feeling down x
@@hannahwilliams5394 awww thank you, means a lot. 🥰
@@garyc thank you, things will get better I’m sure, together we can all just do our best x
God Bless you Gary, this year has been pretty tough for me. Losing my love of 32 years and this pandemic has been so depressing, but your chat has helped. Thank you so much.
MY LOVE GOES OUT TO YOU MARY.. BLESSINGS FROM FLORIDA GOD BLESS 🙏!
I’m so sorry for your loss Mary x
So sad to read this. I hope you’re getting better
Gary darling, your voice and words are like listening to a relaxation tape :) Take care of yourself you ageless pumpkin x
😘❤️
I've chosen to let this time bring forward my creative spirit. For Christmas, everything is being mailed out, but I'm making every box a real experience.
That’s a great idea! 🎁
You are a light, Gary C! Keep on shining.
Thank you, I'll try x
I love your little chats...I think we all need them at the moment. It's like a reassuring hug 🤗 xxx take care
We will get through this Gary to each and every one of you watching this stay safe and hugs too you all
Thank you 🙏🏻
Who needs a therapist when we have Gary C and all his kind words and loving voice. That last bit about knowing things will be different and making Christmas yours was such a wonderful thought. Don't look back at what once was, look forward and make it what it is and will be in the future knowing the people you love will always be the people you love no matter the situation at the moment.
Well said, Gary!! I decompress by watching CZcams videos of you, Adam, Brogin, etc. It takes me away from the stress of reality. I do alot for everyone but myself. So, watching CZcams videos with headphones makes me take a breather. :)
I used to decompress with podcasts. I need to get back to them!
@@garyc I dont have the equipment anymore to do any of my live videos or Vlogs. They were old and I just havent had the money to replace them. With Covid, I have been out of work, then of course my car accident last August and my Dr just pulled me from working permanently. I have been waiting on Social Security here in the US to grant me disability that my doctor has confirmed I am now. UGH!! So, hubby and myself are living off of his Social Security.
You know, sweet Gary, 40 looks ... and sounds ... fantastic on you. Thank you for this beautiful gift.🤗
I know I’ve commented before about our living in Japan and I totally get everything you’re saying. Our daughter had baby boy in May and we still haven’t met him. She and our son in law have had no family with them and have been at home with the baby teaching online for 8 months. They need us and we can’t go home because it’s so dangerous in the States and we have practically no cases in our part of Japan. Coping has become an art form for everyone. People want to know about going to Disney....I just want to go out for ramen. It’s a lot!
My friend, you are so right about what you are saying. I spent 8 years without my only son ever visiting me. Not knowing for sure why I went into these panic attacks and sometimes there are things in life we can not change on our own. We just have to live for the day and appreciate the fact that we are here and alive. I thought I was having a heart attack and was in the hospital going through tests and being told my heart was fine. To me, my heart was not fine because I needed my son in my life he is all I have. Anxiety is difficult to deal with and I have had several attacks since the covid. I am a people person and I think that not being able to go out and chat with people here and there is what gets to me. I can understand how you feel Gary and you will get through all this and I will also.
I would love to see you and Adam do a Christmas in England video for all of us who watch from USA and also a WDW highlights, your best tips, favorite things to do, places to eat etc. I love seeing you friends together and appreciate how you are sensitive to all of your followers 🥰
I totally get it Gary. Thanks for your candor and honesty. I have a feeling we will get there but it will be a slow process and hopefully we will cherish those moments. Like I saw on another video sometimes we cannot always Merry and Bright the crap out of life. 💖
Agreed. Sometimes we need to lean in to the discomfort, even if it’s just acknowledging it - to help our future selves x
I said this to my friend last night: you should not feel guilty for taking enjoyment out of being comfortable and secure in your home. She is going through a hard time and felt guilty for enjoying being at home.
I’m a Nursing Associate at my local hospital and will be working 13:00 - 20:00 on Christmas Day so I’ll be celebrating differently. X
Bless you. Thanks for all you do to help others x
@@garyc It’s my job. And I love my job. . . Most days. 😉
Bless You Gary and we take it one at the time...❤❤
🫶🏻
My Daughter introduced me to you and Adam for your Disney videos , as she is very kindly taking me to Disney Paris in April for my Birthday 🤞we have been lucky enough to of been to Paris and Orlando Disney a few times in the past. Now the 2 of us are going as Adults together I’m so looking forward to sharing that with her again. Your videos have bought back the Disney excitement in me again . I really enjoyed getting to know you both and seeing what a lovely friendship you have. And also I’m glad it’s not just me that can cry at all the Disney magic😀that said once I heard your amazing voice, that set me off. You have an incredibly soulful sound , just beautiful. I just wanted to say Hi and thank you for many uplifting moments in these uncertain times. You make an old girl smile. x
Thanks so much Davina. Enjoy Disneyland Paris x
You sharing your heart is so wonderful. You are amazing, never underestimate yourself. Thanks for saying what we are thinking. You are right. Things are not the same, but we will get thru this! Thank you!
I love the positivity Gary. We will get through this. 💞
Your a top man Gary.C and if only there were alot lot more people like you on this planet. Keep going, keep smiling and never give up, life is a gift and shouldn't be wasted, we all think you are fab 🙂👍 P.s I am also a big Giraffe lover and your picture of one on your wall is amazing.
Thanks Andy. The giraffe is a canvas print. He was a present from my friend Pete x
@@garyc it's an amazing picture, do you know where he got it from?
So timely, thank you Gary. Your words struck home with me and I want you to know that you are wonderful and have helped make a positive difference for me and most assuredly others would say the same too! Stay well and healthy!
Bless your heart, yes things certainly are going to be different at Christmas, our eldest daughter teaches abroad, and my heart and arms just ache at the thought of not being able to hug and kiss her, which by Christmas we will not have seen her psychically in a year . Yes we talk to her through social media just not the same really, and a phone call to my technophobe mum 🥰 she doesn’t do computers , lol. Haven’t seen her since March. But things will get better, we all have to be positive and believe that. Take each day as it comes, find something positive in every day,and keep watching your vlogs, cos you make me smile take care lovely, be safe xxxxx 😉
I'm just sending my luv to you what a powerful moment. Hugs and kisses to you and the family plus Adam 💕
Beautiful message, Gary. Thank you for speaking with compassion and intelligence. When I'm listening to your vlogs, I always feel a connection because you speak from a genuine place, shining from your heart and soul. Bless you 💖
Bless ya heart x
Your videos especially room tours and plane rides have helped during this time
Yes, and Amen Gary!! Positive affirmations and positive thoughts are very healthy. Have an awesome day.💪🏾💜
Lost my job making magic at Walt Disney World in March 😥 Chilling with Gary C is the best early Birthday Gift. Thank you Mr. C😉 !!!!
I’m so sorry you lost your job. Hopefully you can return to the magic soon x
Well said Gary, take everything at your own pace, people won't be offended if you don't reply to their comment. Do things how you want to do.
What beautiful advice and words of wisdom on navigating the lack of control and uncertainty, Gary. Wishing you (and all of us) success in today’s journey of unknown. Thank you for sharing such positivity.
Aww you're amazing Gary, you will be fine, we will all get through it together💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
I love when you film little chats like this or do Instagram lives ☺️
Thank you for these videos, I’m so far from my family, I came into this lockdown with such high anxiety that I haven’t left the house for months, being afraid and depressed is a bad combination, it just freezes you and you can’t even make the smallest moves. 😕 I want my life back because before all this my boyfriend and I would jump on a taxi and in a short car ride I’d be at the coast for a walk along the beach, or visit my mother-in-law, or go window shopping...and now life has become so small...even if my life before Covid wasn’t very adventurous, it had small pleasures that I don’t have right now.
Your song brought a tear to my eyes. Been dealing with a lot and my breaking point that I had to sell my Disney Pin Collection for $200 to buy groceries to feed my Siblings. I want my life back too. I want to smile again
I love you Gary. Not many people get or want to admit anxiety. I have been diagnosed for years now. When you were talking I admittedly tear up, I wish I had someone close to me to talk to. It’s ok though as long as I get a brief moment of you talking through your feelings I can feel mine drifting away. Thanks for all you do 😘
I'm glad this videos can provide some comfort x
@@garyc you provide comfort. You do more than you realize. 👏
You are such a beautiful soul. I love your chats and you make me feel not alone with my feelings 💖
Yes, things will be different but that doesn't mean you have to give up. If we do this thing has beaten us. I don't want to let it win.
You're doing great Gary! You're such a lovely soul.
You are such a sweetheart. I have to say I’m not finding it easy being on furlough from work and living alone. FaceTime isn’t quite the same. We are very similar apart from you being multi talented. I’ve had my breakdowns. Sometimes I never feel like leaving the house but you have to try and remain positive. I need to pick up my brushes and do some painting again. Was going to get an I pencil but not sure how could they are. Anyway. Thank you for your bloggs. We all just want to give you a huge hug. You and Adam have become my salvation. Taken me to a happy place when I’ve felt down so thank you for that. We can all get through this if we are kind and there for one another. You never forget you are such a special person, a diamond that is making a whole load of people feel better so if you are ever feeling down just remember you have thousands of friends watching out for you x
Bless you Ian. Furlough has been really hard for people who are usually out & busy all the time. I think it’s allowed people to be with themselves for the first time in a long time. That’s when we fill in the gaps & overthink. The iPencil is great! I have the iPencil 2. It’s expensive though. I say have a go with the brushes & just make stuff. No pressure or expectations on yourself. Take care x
Thank you once again Gary, your words struck a chord in myself and I'm sure many others. I am learning through my own anxiety and depression to take not quite one day at a time but each hour. I find that if I plan what to do for the next hour things don't seem so trying and out of reach. It is hard for everyone and you are right, anxiety is creeping through most peoples lives with elderly family, job worries, financial difficulties, families with young children and those who are at Universities etc. Things may never be the same again who knows, but maybe some of those changes will be positive. Stay positive Gary, you are like a warm hug everytime you chat to us xxx
Hi Gary its meee from Niagara Falls, Canada. Such true wise words. You are so sweet and kind. You can talk to us anytime you want. We are all here to help each other. Like I tell everyone if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all. Gary keep safe.
As always Catherine
Thank you, Gary. I really needed this reminder, and you said it with such thoughtfulness and love. I wish you a wonderful Christmas season. ❤️🎄
Thanks for sharing as always Gary. I’ve started watching Adam & your vlogs of old Disney trips that I hadn’t watched in a long time just to put a smile on my face. Everyone can tide themselves over for a while by watching them until you two are able to get back. If you see this, I am okay with just a heart ❤️. Stay well 😁
Thankyou for creating another fantastic and insightful video. It's the video that I needed to see to remind myself that this is all ok. Me feeling anxious is all ok. And the anxiety I have in this pandemic is normal. It isn't normal.
Long comment but thankyou. ✨💗
All will be back to normal as we knew it in 2022. Just hang in there and listen to your heart!
Life is good brother... we gonna make it! Merry Christmas to you.
WE WILL ALL MAKE IT THOUGH THIS MESS! HAVE THE BEST THANKSGIVING WITH YOUR FAMILY!!
I am a homebody and the people that know me ,know that I will probably always turn you down to go somewhere. Like you at first it didn’t bother me but now I am feeling claustrophobic and some anxiety. Thank you for your videos they help so much. I just wish we could help you the way you help us 💔🙏🏼xo
Bless you Myrna x
Your channel was recommended to me today by a lovely fan of Pet Goose George (the channel that literally saved my life). I have struggled with PTSD, depression, and anxiety for most of my life. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re not alone though. God bless you 🙏❤️ I’m subscribed and I’ll be sure to watch more videos!
Thank you, I hope you like what’s coming up x
Thank you Gary for always being a calming voice. Sending you love and good health. We'll all get through this. ❤️
Gary you truly are a kind and true hearted soul! Completely understand your feelings and appreciate your vlogs. They reach and touch alot of people. Stay true to yourself! Stay safe and well. Love and hugs always 💞💞xx
I love these chats. I am one of the lucky ones that have continued to be able to work during all of this & I am very grateful for it but I am struggling with it all. I am going through extreme lows & then I feel like it shouldn’t feel this way cuz I have my job & my family are doing okay. It’s tough.
You are honestly, a national treasure. A voice that people really need to hear. Look for tiny little things that are working out. Not sure if you’ve seen the Simpsons but there’s an episode where they went to Tokyo ( i think) and they were on a plane and Marge was going “ Lemme out Lemme out”😄. That’s how lockdown feels.
Bless you. Poor Marge, it definitely feels like that at times x
@@garyc Yes it does, but tiny miracles that happen in our personal space really do make a difference. Yes, take note of what’s happening but also surround yourself with happy things. Things you CAN rely on. Yesterday i decorated a small table top christmas tree with my favorite things. It is the holidays but perfectly ok to treat ourselves ❤️
Practicing gratitude for what we do have, has never been more important.
Thank you for sharing Gary! I love to watch vlogs from you and Adam to relax, this helps me a lot! Stay safe and take care 🤗✨❤️
I resonate so much with your videos. Life for me is like being on a rollercoaster with ups and major downs. For quite a few years now. My fiancé dumped me coming up to 2 years ago now and whilst I’m over him, this time of year is very hard. I miss my friends, I feel like life is in limbo. Thank goodness for CZcams and your videos. I subscribe to Adam too and you both lift my spirits. Stay strong Gary.
Thinking of you x
You're right - it is the not knowing that is hard. When will I be able to hug my family and friends again? Despite my caution, will I get the virus, and, if I do, how bad will it be? I've accepted that the holidays will be alone - just me and my two 6-month-old kitties. We'll be fine. And we have such a large backlog of your vlogs to re-watch which are such a joy. This will change us, but maybe that's okay. You take care of yourself, Pumpkin. It's always good to see you.
Thank you Gary. You have to take care of you!! Real people, real friends will understand and support you. You are important! Love you and care about you💛💚💙💜
Love your little chats Gary from your No 1 Fan “Granny” keep spreading your positivity vibes 👋
Love your giraffe in the background. Take care of yourself Gary. Give yourself a big hug. ❤️❤️❤️
Thinking about you xxx big hugs lovely x
Thank you so much for this Gary! This just was the pick me up needed!
Thank you Gary for such a thoughtful video. I've suffered anxiety a long time and once had a break down years ago. This year my anxiety has risen its head and panic attacks have started again and its been hard. As you said I'm a homebody to and at first I was happy but now its harder than before. This video was so so helpful and you're very brave to tell your truth. I actually find hope and feel a bit less alone to know others suffer anxiety (though I wish no-one had to suffer with it) and feel as I do.
I’m glad I could be of some comfort Hannah x
Thank you so much for once again being a bright light Gary. We will all get through this and life will be sweeter on the other side. Be well, rest easy. 💖
Well said. Just what I needed to hear. Thanks, Gary.
I love your chats Gary! You are so calm in your tone. Thank you for bringing the positive to those of us who need it. I know I do. We all do.
💖💖💖
Gary....you are valued and appreciated by many people and deserve all good things that come your way👍 Love you lots 😊💖🌞✌🎄❄⛄
Good morning! lol at least it is morning here in Colorado. I had a break in 2016. I still carry some of those pieces. Thank you Gary C for this bit of peace through a gentle voice and a pure heart. PS Your giraffe picture makes me happy.
Thank you x
Your video chats are awesome. And the lockdowns have different pressure and stresses attached to them that we all were unaware of. No matter where you are in the world, we are all in a similar situation, the unknown is the most difficult thing to deal with. Sending hugs from New Zealand.
Hi Gary, thank you for sharing your thoughts during this weird time. We are all struggling through the pandemic and identify with your thoughts and emotions going through this together. Whilst we don’t know you, we are all here for you. Sending all the best.
Bless ya George x
The joy of Gary-thank you! (no heart reply needed) but we "❤ " you!
P.S. Happy belated birthday! Big virtual Hug!
😘❤️
Thanks Gary for sharing your thoughts
We all can come out of this bigger & stronger. Love you Gary c ❤️ thank you xx
You speak a lot of good sense Gary. Xx
As a nurse working through this from the start, I know we will get through it! Florida cancelled in April, but onward and upwards we go!!! POSITIVE THINKING!!!😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much for sharing and being honest and open. I know the feeling of bottling up, after my breakdown also in 2008 I wrote a song as well, I’ve started to realise writing things often does help, it feels like at most way I can open up, and not burden people with my thoughts. I love you have made a ‘magical prison’ I need to create one myself. I’m now to your vlogs after seeing your Christmas message through Lorin, and I’m so glad I came across your vlogs.
Hi Gary C you stay safe, healthy and happy too. We have Thanksgivings Day in the USA next Thursday. Thankful that I got to live in a world that was safe to live a normal life for many years. The lockdowns are safety for us. Have a free and clear mind and be safe.
I can see the light coming. Stay strong!
Wise words! Find joy through the holidays!
Thank you for the positivity, well needed right now :) Hope you have a good Christmas!
I found this video very helpful and lots of good honest advice Gary, thank you.I have found it can be difficult being in the moment, being mindful at times especially if you are felling anxious. During this lockdown we are all really just trying to take it minute by minute as we don’t really know what is going to happen next.
Hi Gary, I only recently discovered your channel on CZcams. Just wanted to say I think you’re a blessing and such a refreshing, genuine and brave person. 👊🏻
Thank you so so much x
Sending you lots of light and love!
Hey Gary! Wonderful video! I firmly believe in lifting people up and being positive. Thank you, as always, for the reminders about just taking a step back sometimes and not always being on the go. Lots of love.
Gary, you are a true blessing to me and so many w the gift of raising my emotional and psychological spirits as you do so many who adore you. Thank you. Love you my far away friend. P S. I have my room too. Makes me feel safer. Glad I'm not alone in that others might be like me.
Love these quiet moments together! Thanks Gary!❤️
This video came around at a great time for me, thank you Gary. Also, I hope you had a lovely birthday!
Good to hear Leah, thanks x
You are so good at articulating things, Gary. Thank you for this video, I didn’t realise how much I needed it 🌸 x
You are an inspiration! Thank you for this video!
That’s very kind of you x
Focus on the now I love that. ❤️
Thank you Gary ❤️
Gary you put everything in perspective it’s definitely fear of the unknown and very isolating for a lot of people i’ve noticed i feel different my anxiety has been awful also tiredness and depression and i’m still working at least i’m getting out i feel sorry for other people who aren’t used to being at home, however i’m thinking the vaccine is gonna help make a difference as we can’t go on the way we are going thanks for another great vlog❤️🤗🤩🥰xxxx
U literally just explained me. I want to go to Disney but I ‘don’t know’. I want to get my hopes up I want to plan but I don’t no, I just don’t no and I probably think about this multiple times a day, and now it’s effecting me. Now all I want for Christmas is a hug. 😭🥰
Sending you lots of love Gary xx
Completely agree with you say.
A big part of my anxiety is feeling like I have to always have control. So actually the hardest part of this year was when things started opening again and there was a shift from "you can't do this' to "you can do it but like... it's up to you." I live in Leicester and we'd been in a local lockdown since June and were still in it when the national one kicked in. And I hated feeling like it was a group project where I was doing my part and others aren't.
You're an amazing person. Enjoyed the video. We will get through this. We are all in this together.
Keep going Gary! Anxiety a bugger. ♥️❤️♥️
I needed this video SO MUCH right now! Thank you so much Gary
I’m glad it was there for you when you needed it 🙏🏻
Gary, such sense spoken, such a great person, you keep safe x
I would love a day drinking brews with you and listening to all of you feelings, you are a lovely person Gary C x
