Hi Margaret i think you now need a 70 and me channel! 60's are easy i now think, 70 hits like brick ! 70 and just retired this year, trying to recalibrate to a new way of living, it's not easy xx
Margaret's not old enough for what I'd like 80s and me! There are a couple of channels, very affluent people, nice, not my financial speed ;) But meanwhile I like your ideas, Margaret!
I joined a local church about 4 years ago, a large congregation of about 850 people. I only knew 2 people who attended but now I know hundreds. A super friendly group of people, I make a point to sit in a different seat almost every week. I will generally just sit and introduce myself to the person next to me, ask them if they are new or if they attended for awhile, just strike up a conversation. I have made a very very good friend there as well as many other friendships. I'm also walking and utilizing our Local State Park which is about 4 miles from my home. I'm planning on joining a hiking group there. I'm not a winter person and have seasonal depression symptoms but I'm really going to make an effort to be outside even in the cold weather. I've also taken up paint by numbers this past Winter and really enjoyed spending time painting and I'm going to do that again as well.
I feel that I have no energy to put myself out there anymore. I think chronic pain it's taking its toll. Thank you for your faithfulness to your viwers.
@@ishanabhavsarchronic pain takes a toll in every realm. the pain itself is physically debilitating & limiting. but the constant stress of the "background noise" is very hard to tune out. it's like talking over a loud lawn mower spiritually & psychologically it's very draining. it's not hard to slip into feeling like it's just better to stay away from others and secede into a solitary routine. that's where i am--after 2 consecutive years... i'm only 59, but im so finished.
@@ishanabhavsar I have Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis...I had two very bad falls...since then everything seem to have exacerbated. I am grateful that for many years I managed very well...these days are very trying...but I have faith in God. This is a quiet time in my life when it comes to do8ng much. Thank you for asking.
I've found that as we age, trying out things for the first time just makes us feel good. Remember how it felt learning to ride a bike for the first time? I try to feel that way as much as possible, just by taking action and getting out of my comfort zone.😃
I love reading, 🎶🎵 music, adventure and history. Pick something and manage what you are able too do, just pace yourself no rush🎉🎉🎉 🧬 life is for living and not just for surviving🌻🌼
i've been an avid journal-er for decades. i write at least three long hand pages daily . there is always some situation or matter of the heart to reflect upon; and sometimes it's preferable for me to write it out before i tackle a situation or goal,or whatever. even if nothing is "going on" i'll write about what i accomplished that day, what i was grateful for that day or even just note what i read, how i moved by body or what music i enjoyed. it would be tedious for anyone else to read! but i love having a running record of my thoughts & activities
Thank you so much Margaret for this very encouraging and positive chat ...... Just what I need at the moment as I'm hesitant to go out and mingle. I am happy and satisfied with my own company, but know that's not all that life is about.
You are a true inspiration to women. You certainly add value to my life even though I never met you❤thank you for your precious time, much appreciated 🎉❤❤❤
I’m doing great, my body loves the heat. I am grateful every moment that feel well I can’t get enough of feeling good. The thing I love doing the most physically is cleaning. I’m benefiting and my daughters are too. 😂. I dread the thought of the weather changing into winter. I’d like to go somewhere warm in winter but finances don’t allow right now. I am looking for a job to be able to travel more. Life is coming together. I love learning, so little by little I’m changing what I don’t want into my life. Thank you for being there to encourage us on.I’m doing all of what you mentioned, just came back from library. Now I have to join patreon. ❤️
Just when I was beginning to slump into despair and boredom, I listened to and watched this video. It has sparked a wish to try something new, in me. Thank you for somehow always helping me come out of my lows!❤❤
As I'm less mobile these days and don't sleep much I find I am using my eyes a lot They get tired but recently I joined audio books Its been great I can time then for bedtime An added bonus is that I often nod off while listening in the day 😅 I have also loved going travelling with folk especially in camper vans Taking me places I would never go I have come to realise how beautiful the world of nature is 😊
Margaret just like to say that your encouragement and ideas are extremely welcome. This week I'm busy with a couple of history tours. Going to one ony own & another with someone I went to school with. I feel it's good to get out physically while I'm still healthy!
Journaling very interesting---gets me in the moment of what's been happening now, and in the past. And.....especially looking back and reading what I wrote 3, 6+ months ago, and YEARS ago! I can see where I was then and look at now. How far I may have come....and, oweee, those things I'm still holding on to! A good catalyst for making changes I've been avoiding, maybe for a very long time. Especially when it comes to forgiveness---of myself and everyone associated with past hurts. Thank you for this CZcams show Margaret, been watching a couple years now on and off. So inspiring. Need to join your payreon group! And I agree (as if you don't have enough on your plate!) a 70's plus category might be interesting too. I turn 69 this fall, and am planning what's ahead for my Big 7-0 in '25!! Bless you, thank you!❤🎉
To be honest stuff considered it a few times, but I honestly don’t know what subjects would only apply to 70-year-old woman. Other than enhanced health issues and perhaps more focus on spirituality and mortality. Perhaps you can give me some ideas of topics that would be covered in that section that would be of interest to younger women too.
Hello Margaret. I like your videos that motivates us to still find & do things that interest those of us sixty seventy or beyond. There is still a purpose for living. To give back to take care of ourselves the best that we can. Thanks 4 the inspirational videos. From Texas. ❤❤
I saw this book and read the description, “The Measure.” I believe it follows some individuals presented with a box that has the date of their death inside, and how they react and how it affects the rest of their life. Trying to declutter so don’t want to buy it, but I took a picture on my phone to look for it later.
70 has really hit hard but I don’t have good health and complications from broken femur and knee replacement, or else I’d be traveling. My mom once longingly said, “oh…..to be 80 again” so try to appreciate where I’m at. :-)
I enjoy journaling. I only commenced 8 months ago. I add quotes, poems and my daily activities. I purchase colourful stickers which are suitable for enhancing the pages.
Table For Two. Lady MAG'S, you will utterly ɓe mesmerized ɓy this read. A rather retro delight yet it's outstanding classical ren̈own overrides time well spent captured in the author's intent. A mind nudging read. Enjoy Lady Bibliophile ❤ ... Bravo, from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Margaret! You are right: some effort is needed for that. I have never written a journal, but now my "journaling" is writing comments. The latest book I have read was "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. Extremely helpful. I prefer non-fiction literature nowadays. I used to love traveling, but now virtual traveling is quite satisfying (I really enjoy this video "Flying Over Switzerland") , but who knows what will happen in future... P.S. just want to add: grass-fed ghee is wonderful for the sore throat🙂
@@AmbrosiaK Grass-fed ghee is a healthy fat. A teaspoon would be too much since it is very concentrated. I take on the tip of a teaspoon (appr. less than a quarter of it) but not all at once. Let it go down slowly "bit by bit", you can feel how soothing it is. Twice a day, until you feel relief. It helps me.
I love your articles on your website and that you cover them on CZcams. Great advice. One additional advantage of reading books is that it gives you something else to talk about with others.
I'm reading James Patterson s STEAL right now. Also enjoy books by Janet Evanovich. Hearing great reviews about The Women.. I'm on the wait list with my library (4 ahead if me)

Just add a "plus" - 60+ and Me

Sorry to hear that🌷 Why are you in chronic pain... if I may ask.
You may want to give a reason for your lack of energy, so that we can share our knowledge/experience with you in terms of how to elevate it.
@@veralubov7405 thank you for asking that in a much better way 🌷

Take action is so true, don't wait for others to start the processes because it's your life that's racing on others may not see life is passing fast !
I don’t journal my thoughts, but I have a journal that I carry with me & put in my learnings. Learnings from CZcams, a book I might read etc.

As always so encouraging, thanks Margaret. I think I've done most except play an instrument. Cymbals anyone?
I used to play the clarinet and the oboe. that was a lot of fun.
