With AGE comes WISDOM - Young At Heart

- Mark Twain once said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
With age comes wisdom, courage, humility, compassion and patience. We earn every line on our face because they reflect our passion, and show that we've done some real living. And we are so much the richer for it. Age is so much more than just a number!

“If you don’t have a dream... how can you have a dream come true ?”..... True.💕
So true. Didn't think about it like that.
I am 71 years young and when I get old I want to be like the people in this film. I’m dealing with many challenges right now while I care for a very ill husband but I hope the spark inside of me never dims.
Thank you for your inspiring, beautiful message 💚 we wish you so much love on your journey!
Justine and Michael
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you 💕
Respect the old
When you are young
Help the weak
When you are strong
Confess the fault
When you are wrong
Because one day in life
You will be old weak and wrong!
Remember being happy doesn't mean you have It all
It simply means your
Thankful for all you have. Remember that self care is not selfish
Self love allows you to Love Others!
I love and enjoy your videos so much!
Beautiful words - thanks for sharing x
Indeed, wonderful words 👍
I like this! Thankyou
Words to live by. Thank you!
Aging is a form of art and I can only hope to age so gracefully and still be full of life! They truly are an inspiration!! 🤍🌿🕊
@Miss Potter - I love that comment of yours 'Aging is a form of art'. Beautifully said!
Absolutely, you continuously to create beauty in every situation. It's like art, it evolves into something--in any form or shape (whether you are walking slower or your body changes)--it just opens up to a new perspective.🤗❤️🥳
This channel has a soul of its own. Thank you for your service.
Great pleasure - so glad you like these little films. We hope to bring you many more.
Hear, hear! This channel is what I refer to as an FOD⭐️ (find of the day); like prospecting for gold 😃👍❤️
When my mom was 80 she told me she felt 18 on the inside and 80 on the outside 😉
I’ll always remember that moment ❤️
Beautiful - she was young at heart.
You only grow old when you forget to live.
Beautiful people enjoying life.
I'm just running across you and I'm so happy I did . 56 years old and everything is changing ! Life is what you make it .Thank you for such sweet little videos ❤
@Tammy Valle - And we're so happy that you found us too! Welcome to our channel, and we hope that we can continue to bring your films that make you smile and warm your heart. We've got so much to share - so keep tuned in x

@Zola Burgess - So beautifully put!
In addition to the beautiful content in these Green Renaissance videos, the cinematography is just fabulous, evocative empathetic and gorgeous.
Wow, thank you Sharon! We appreciate your encouragement. We are so glad you enjoy our videos. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful Minds have Beautiful Life. But while we are young in body we tend to satisfy the body and forget to grow a beautiful mind.
If you regularly tune in every Wednesday for a new release from us, don't be alarmed if you don't see anything from us next week. We'll be slowing things down for a while, releasing a new film every second week. Once Covid allows us to get back out and roll the camera regularly, we'll be back with new content. Until then, we'll keep sharing a new montage themed re-edit with you every second week. Much love to you all. And thank you, as always, for ALL your support. Justine and Michael. x
It's ok. We'll be patiently waiting for you.
You went from 4 to 3 to 2. We appreciate you very much Justine and Michael. ❤️
These videos have just started to 'pop up' for me. How wonderful to meet so many like-minded people. Thank you so much.
Thank you 💞.
Hi! I will be 50 in a couple of months! I plant, I feed the birds and adopted in the last few years 11 poor dying dogs that are my great friends and joy! This young minded people just inspire me how I am gone live my live in an old body but with a young and joyfull mind!! I love the stories and the knowledge of this "young" people!! : )
@uksimone1 - Much love to you and your fur family. Thanks for all that you do for those old dogs, giving them a special end to their lives, with your love and care. Much love to you. Justine x
I'm 62, and training a young horse. We've won a few championships. Im SO fortunate i can still do this. Thank the lord.

Such lovely words. 💚

Bloody Mary from South Pacific....musical
The joy I just experienced watching this lovely video, brought tears to my eyes, and inspiration to this 74 year old soul. Each moment, a new day, a new song! Tonight, before falling asleep, I will praise God for the journey.
Thank you for all these wonderful posts.
@Barbara Winkle - And we send warm hugs to you, across the seas from South Africa. Justine x
She said,, "I do need my Snoppy glasses!"--what a hoot and a wonderful attitude--So inspiring and wise they all are.
💚
"...age is in the body not on the mind..."
Sense of humor and laughter is living to your best! "...becareful to just exist it is dangerous"
In this crazy world, a long life can be considered a sign of luck and resilience: small and big things threaten us all the time. In fact, a beautiful and motivating video. Thanks for the great content!
@La Voie Stoïque - THANK YOU x
So cute "My hair was so wavy it made the girls sea sick!"
@AvalonDreaming - Every time I listened to Frank saying that line, while preparing this edit, I cracked up laughing. x
This is a good one!!!
I clicked like immediately haha!
I laughed out loud at that line.
And I think he got a lot of dates with that line!
Young hearts, run free... 💙💙💙
We should all have a swing in the garden.
@76moonshadow - YES - and when we feel like we're losing touch with the inner child, five minutes with our feet swinging through the air will bring us right back into connection again :)
I would love that so much! 😍
@@ReflectionsofLife I rented a house with a huge oak tree and a wonderful wooden tree swing. It WAS so FUN!
Thank you for this beautiful video! I am 70 now.. and I feel young and old! Sometimes I feel like a child, and sometimes, I want to live like a 71 woman. Being in nature is so good for everyone, young and old!
We are so glad that we could share this story with you. Look after the child within and enjoy your times in nature. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Touchingly true and beautiful.
Awww the mans smile just looks like my dad's smile. I really miss my dad he passed away 3mon ago...I'm glad I listen to the elders to so cute the way they explain things without bad words ... Nothing but calm sweet voices like nothing worries them n hey live in he NOW n their happy ... I want to be like that too. I'm glad his came in my notifications...thank you for the wonderful inspiration... huuugs
I feel cheated that I haven’t discovered this channel until today 😂👍🏾
@Antivlog - But how great does it feel to know that all of this lies in store for you :) ENJOY!
Tell me about it, I just wish they were longer some time I get lost in these short videos longing for a peace that seems like it’s running from me.
Life is so Alive in all your videos. Thank you💕

I’m thinking that a youthful attitude can be really appreciated when one is much older! Being at the beginning of my 3rd act in life, I can start to to understand this! Can see what they’re conveying in this film! Thank you for sharing this!
"If you are not living YOUR life today, when are you going to ?" Wisdom of age is pure, pure gold !!
Yes, these are certainly words to ponder on. Glad they are so valuable to you Henry. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful! Thank you so much-this time it was especially close to me (being almost 74 years young) and I would agree totally in every respect, with every word or thought!
@Igor Pomykalo Early Music - So glad that this resonated with you. And keep shining your 74 year YOUNG light out in the world :)
As they become more aware of who they are, people start to age later, live longer and healthier. They start to manifest their real nature: eternal, godly beings.
Lovely, just 🌹 Lovely
Thanks a lot Sonia. Justine and Michael. 💚
I love the symbolism of the blossoms at the end of the video. Beautiful as ever.
I am 75 now and enjoying life as always just a few pains here and there but I’m so thankful to be able to enjoy every single day I am here. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, each one of them has so much wisdom and pure love. ❤️
It's a joy to read your message, thank you. We are glad we can share these stories with. Wishing you many happy and healthy days. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚.
You are my go to channel for inspiration, especially now I am almost 70. Thank you so much😀
You are so welcome! Glad we can inspire you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Each and every one of your videos I watch I say oh gosh! That's my favorite one. Now I have another especially favorite one. This one was incredible. I laughed and I cried. I have already shared it with about 15 people, even a couple of people in India. You guys are terrific. I have fallen so much in love with both of you and all the people in all your videos. You please be safe and stay healthy.
@Chiefonelung - This story resonates deeply with us too. Thanks for sharing, we really appreciate it x
I feel the same😊
Yes be careful just to exist- that's dangerous- just love this video
My dream life come true when I found this channel. What a wonderful inspiration... Thanks for your great efforts... God bless... 🙏🙏🙏

Mary ann dela cruz I'm happy that i stumbe in your video to watch true beautiful things which makes us happy.Thanks a lot and God bless you
That's so inspiring, natural and simply gorgeous. Love every picture, word and appreciate the work you are doing. Can't get enough of your videos.
Thank you so much, Marina. These words mean so much to us. Stay tuned, we plan to share many more videos. Good to have you with us on our journey. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I've always said this too..I want to live my life to the best of my abilitiy.
Wow! Educating inspiring! The lady in red amazing!
We agree!
These videos, especially this one, let me realize that the journey we all travel is such a blessing. Thank you
We are glad that you enjoy the videos and that this one was resonating a lot. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Another delight. Watched it after a particularly stressful day at work and found myself slowed down, mesmerized, grinning ear to ear and in less than 10 minutes, I'm in a completely different state of mind. To hear these beautiful humans speak to me about what matters grounds & centers me. What an amazing edit & compilation of their words & wisdom. And once again...you're choice of music is masterful! (That transition at 1:28 in! It's as if you had your own pianist write it to the shot!) As much as I look forward to your weekly films, I'm so happy to hear you are going to change your rhythm for now. What you have accomplished in the last 2+ years seems impossible to me. I know you love what you do, but I hope this new production schedule gives you more time for your own self-care & to simply look back, reflect & enjoy what you have done together. I'll "see" you in a couple weeks!
@Linda Parisi - You have an incredible eye and attention to detail - I LOVE how you notice the small subtle details in our films :) And we are also looking forward to slowing down for a short while - taking a bit of time to reflect - take the advice from our recent film. We are going to work on sharing some interesting podcasts in the 'off' weeks where we can - something very different to our usual weekly films - but we'll keep you posted about that as it unfolds. Sending you love for a happier day today xxx
Green Renaissance A podcast?!!! Really???!!! Brilliant idea! Omgosh! Can’t wait!!!!
I love these.. old dames and lads..its all in the mind and in the loving heart if theirs that see love everywhere..in humility and gratitude..
💚
Love this!! So love this!! The people so wonderful as the nature n its beauty that surrounds them.
I love the line “be careful just to exist, it can be dangerous “. I am just about to turn 60, but I still feel like I am 40!, there are a few things I have noticed that I don’t do as well, mainly strength things. But other than that I make sure I laugh out loud everyday as a day without laughter is a day wasted.! I have many many great years in me yet! And I intend to enjoy them. Thank for this film it makes me want to put even more effort into what I do!!💖💖💖💖💖
So beautiful to hear this Jody - may every single day continue to be filled with laughter and love. Sending you happy hugs for a glorious weekend ahead. Justine and Michael 💚
Oh my gosh I LOVE these people. So many wise statements. Amongst them “a good life is your choice”. Keep doing such incredible work. I love your channel 💕
Thank you so much!! We hope this is just the beginning. Thanks for your message.
My heart rejoices for these, beautiful, aging souls ...😊
Their wisdom and meaningful; mental cognition of life is a brilliant perspective to those of us following a few steps behind....😊....❤
Thank you for sharing...🥰
You are welcome Martha, we are glad you enjoyed the video. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

One of my favorites, thank you

It sure is the Heart that counts. Lovely
Thank you Bonnie, for allowing this message to touch YOUR heart 💚
Beautiful!
💚
It's been about 2 months since I discovered your beautiful videos. They are so meaningful to me and have enriched my life. I try to watch at least one a day, and each time my 77 year old spirits are uplifted. I can honestly say that your videos with all these thoughtful people have changed my life in a positive way. Thank you for all you do for humanity.
Wow, thanks so much Esther. We are touched by your words. So glad you discovered our channel and are enjoying our videos, and that they have a positive effect on your life. Enjoy many more, good to have you with us on our journey. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@Green Renaissance Thank you so much for responding to my words. It's wonderful to see that you care so deeply for the people who watch your creations. I have become more aware of how I spend my time. The lady who knits the lovely sweaters for charity has inspired me to knit socks to give away. Daily walks with my dog in the woods are such a pleasure. I am now aware that there is a whole tribe of folks who appreciate nature as much as I do. Please continue to produce these breathtaking videos. You enrich so many peoples' lives. Thank you!
Your films are so beautifully made and full of visdom and love!
@Cecilia Baxter - Thanks for seeing the value in the sharing of these personal stories. 💚
I love this,and I love all of the people who have found their way to these videos 🧡🌞🧡

Loved This Video!😍❤
Red hat and coat really shows the lovely you.
Toda vez que vejo a sabedoria da velhice, me lembro de minha avó. Da beleza de se ter alguém como a avó. Saudade.
We are glad that videos like this one create nice thoughts. Treasure them. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I think we should start enjoying, life now, we don't really need all the material things, we can't take them with us when we depart this life.
@Paul Bennett - Absolutely agree - well said!
@@ReflectionsofLife what's your thoughts on expats nomads who dont worry about owning a home and just live traveling like a free bird.. people worry so muh to build security investments etc
The old might be young at heart, maybe that's easy too but the young are wearied of life and dull zombies, fading slowly.
I needed this video- thank you!
@Tj Whitehead - Then we are really glad that it found you! And if you're in need of a bit more inspiration, stay right here with us - we've shared over 150 films so far, and we're still working on so much more to share. Kind wishes to you x
So beautiful
Thank you!
💚
Renaissance indeed... Love your videos...
Thanks so much - and it's great to have you here with us.
Have a great weekend. Justine and Michael 💚
Love from Greece
Now that I'm older material things does not seem.to matter to me, is the time i spend with my loves ones and the memories with can have, helping my children and grandchildren to be in nature instead of watching television or playing games in the computer, we need to pay attetion to the beautiful things in life and the miracle to be alive, life is a blessing from God and we should never try to take it for granted❤enjoy every minute you have and bring joy to the people around you, speak life and be a blessing.
So beautifully said - it is definitely those moments together with the people that we love, appreciating the beauty of the natural world around us, that is most meaningful to us too!
Thanks for this lovely message.
Justine and Michael x
Beautiful as always, thanksssss :)))
@Saioa Bikandi - And THANK YOU for tuning in to listen to each story. We hope to keep the inspiration flowing every week :)
Lots of wisdom about life! All wonderfully said. Am so enjoying this video...life is beautiful and we must live life to the fullest.👏🤗❤️🤩😎
Thank you Leticia, we are glad you enjoyed it. Justine and Michael.💚
Damn you guys! You did it again. I had to wait 10 minutes after crying for so long to be able to see my phone. At 72 years old sometimes I feel sorry for myself in getting older. But this video is so incredibly uplifting. Outdone yourself. Much love and health to you guys and to all of these beautiful people you bring into my life. Thanks again.
Oh wow, thanks so much! Old age is not for the faint-hearted, but we are sure that you wouldn't swop your wisdom 💚 Much love from us to you, too - Michael and Justine
"I'm an imaginarian now." How cool is that!!
These individuals are so lovely. They live life to fullest. I wish to grow old like them too. Their perspective about life are so beautiful.
Inspiring.....
The older I get the more I realize age doesn't bring wisdom. It only brings weary. I'm not any smarter than I was 10 years ago. I've just grown too tired to juggle the lies and hide the fears. Self awarness doesn't reveal my indiscretions. Exaustion does.
Está é a melhor escolha agir com o coração jovem fazendo o que ele nos impulsiona . Gratidão pela lembrança
We are glad you enjoyed the video Lenara, that it resonated with you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Live your life to the best of your abilities
So ture Gomolemo, thanks for sharing.

I love your films and will contribute as soon as I can. I see myself in all of the lively people you have filmed! Love live love
@Sonia Zelayandia - These words of support mean the world to us x
3 Wise and Joyful people. Would love to know them.
💚
I just can't get enough of these beautiful videos about all these beautiful human beings. During these uncertain times, and especially here in America where everyone is feeling the doom and gloom of the present situation all around us and especially in Afghanistan and around the whole world, it's really been uplifting to watch these short films. They have become a real comfort to me. Thank you so very much. God bless all of you! 🙏 🤗💖🌞
Your words of deep appreciation keep us inspired to keep creating. Thank you Annette.
Warm hugs. Justine and Michael 💚

Beautiful and inspiring. I just discovered your films at a moment of transitions and losses in my life but a agree happiness is something nobody can take away from you and we keep dreaming and planning to enjoy every day. Thanks
@Angela Ferreira - Life certainly isn't always easy. But we can choose the way in which we face up to the challenges. Much love to you x
@@ReflectionsofLife thanks for taking time to respond. I really appreciate your comments and I need all the encouragement at this time!
The music also perfect backdrop.

Dear Frank Woodvine, the nonagenarian gentleman - You can chase me any time . I would feel honoured and very grateful!! I am a 75 year-old lady who avoids looking in the mirror as much as possible. Like yourself I feel 25 in my head!

Lovely message, thank you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I have no issues with growing old, better care of health is an expected transition, my mind is usually in a very young state😊
Lovely. Such a positive and happy message. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
