Patti you bring a peace to me that very few people are able to do. l find you so genuine and caring and yes, you are wise. l am 67 years old and often live in the past. l think about what i could have done differently until i become depressed. l needed to hear your message today. You bring me peace and i am so happy to hear you are feeling better. Please keep making these videos while at your daughters home. Even if they are short videos. You are so soft spoken and i always feel better after watching one of your videos and hearing your stories. Your voice alone has a calming influence over me. l think of you as a friend.
Hi Janice. I feel like I often live in the past also. I'm 59 and feel like my best years and times are behind me and I don't have much to look forward to. I"m retired and have too much time to think. I'm prone to depression and unless I keep busy I think negatively. I feel like Patti is a friend also and look forward to her vlogs. I also love Suzi from Alternative Aging. Another sweet soul who is uplifting and fun to watch...
@lindabolique. You are still relatively young at 59…imho I wish the best for you and hope that you find enjoyment in things and keep your head up. 🙏💕 God bless 🙏 adventures may be right around the corner.
Janice DiNapoli I'm 72 and live in the past most of the time. I made so many mistakes and have so many regrets that I, too, get very depressed. Patti is very soothing, I agree. 🌹
@@CaliChaos99 Thank you. I volunteer and do needle felting and try to stay busy. It's all I can do. Otherwise, I dwell on my physical flaws. I've been diagnosed with BDD and I hate it.
What you said about not living in the past really hit home with me. I've been a widow for almost 20 years (I just turned 69 in May). I've been thinking of my years with my husband so much lately, and I know I need to not forget - I never could, he was the man of my dreams - but to live in the present and look to the future and all that it holds. The best is yet to be. Thank you so much for helping me in so many ways. ❤
No lights, no camera's, not a single luxury, but you jumped on the plane into the arms of your loved ones and I'll bet, as happy as can be.🥰 I'm so happy to hear that you are recovering. Don't feel you need to share. Personal is personal. We love you. ❤️ Enjoy every minute with your little ones. They grow so fast.🌹
Hello Mary...old is part of our lives. It’s okay to live with memories good or bad, but, not to stay stuck in those memories forever. It’s okay to let go sometimes and be kinder to yourself....what do you think about this video Mary?
My husband and I were sick for 2 weeks with Covid. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse on a Friday and by Sunday we were horribly sick. Headache, muscle pain, fatigue, shortness of breath and sore throat. Took covid tests as a precaution and we both had it. We were vaccinated and boosted, but still very sick. Still getting over fatigue. Glad you recovered.
Hello Binger how are you doing today?.....she as forth a good fight as a mother she did a couple of sacrifice to show how much she love her grandkid's..what do you think about this video?
The part of your video about not living in the past hit me in a profound way. I’m 58 and lost my 54 yr old husband to cancer 4.5 months ago. He was a freakishly smart and very talented musician and songwriter. It’s funny you mention student because each of us always mentioned how much we learned from each other, as we had different skill sets. But we definitely felt like we shared a brain. We were together 26 years but had only gotten married in June 2019. I’d just lost my brother to a very similar cancer in Jan 2019 - he’d been living with us during treatment and hospice. I can’t help but think that time taught Mick & I lessons that we didn’t know we’d need just 2 yrs later when Mick was diagnosed. I keep reliving every moment of our time together and, while that seems to get a tiny bit less with time, it’s still difficult to not “go there.” So…I will take to heart what you’ve said and try to keep reminding myself. We didn’t have kids together but he was a great bonus dad to my daughter. I don’t have grandkids but my brother gave us his beloved red heeler cattle dog, Annie, before he passed. And now Annie and I help each other through all of the illness and loss of the past 5 years (counting my brother’s illness.) All of this is to say Thank You for making this video. I look forward to more. 💙
Bless you! What a beautiful writing. I am so sorry for your losses. I am 58. My 53 year old brother was just diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in January. Boom...our lives changed in an instant. As with our dads cancer 5 years ago. I was struggling today. You and Patti helped me.
Love the whole ambience of the room - windows , outside scenery , and my fav tulips. Don’t change a thing ! How wonderful that you were able to be there when they needed you ! As a mom - I appreciate your honestly, openness , calmness and yet keeping your privacy.
Hello Joan how are you doing today? she has take a whole lot of sacrifice for love i pray may God reward her cause she has done well as a mother....hope you enjoyed the video?
My 69th birthday is this month. I can't believe I am this old. I find myself thinking more and more about the past and what if I had done it differently. I had a wonderful past and I miss it. I needed this today. So glad you are better. Enjoy the little ones.
Great video. I am 79 and when I was 65 I took care of my Grandaughter 4 days a week for 5 years. I gave her my undivided attention for 8 hours each day. We also played, sang, read, built with blocks, colored, ate and had a ball all day. She learned to talk and do everything very young because she had adult input all day long. It is some of the most cherished memories I have. I felt like a kid again and had as much fun as she did. Now I tell her about the things she said and did and we laugh about it. That time was a gift from God for me.
Hello Patti, first off, the video from your phone is clear and the background very pleasant You are such a caring mother.Glad to hear you are feeling better and can be there for your daughter and her family at this time. Its always reassuring to have family come around to help out in times of need.Yes indeed, its way better to keep looking forward and not get stuck in the past through grief of things gone or no longer the the same, including our own health. Being creatures of habit, it can be hard sometimes to except change, but when their is no going back, we just have to push forward as gracefully as possible The serenity prayer is ever so helpful to keep things in perspective,when things become overwhelming.. But grief and mourning is a process and the healing time is different for everyone to process and heal. For sure coming to understand that it is essential for our own health and peace of mind, to keep looking forward and not stay stagnant mourning the past. This is also mentioned in the Holy bible, that we need to press forward and not keep looking back . Love your sweatshirt:be kind. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and kindness.you are in my prayers through my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.Amen! ❤🙏❤🍃🌹🍃
You are a beautiful woman, inside and out. I love listening to you. I am 72, happily married for 53 years and am grateful to be the age I am. I agree with you on everything you have said.
God bless you richly Patty- this was so helpful so valuable - made me cry - thank you so much for making a video in the midst of your circumstances I appreciate it - big huge hugs love you friend- Joyce
Patti, I have watched you off and on for a few years, but I haven’t watched anything consistently for the past 4 years. I have been very busy with my “significant other”. I do not like that term, but I am 86, and feel that’s a little too old to call him my sweetheart. That is exactly what he was though, and he passed away last October. The past 5 months have been extremely hard, but every day is getting better. Tonight I found you again, and know for the first time that you are from Pensacola. I am, too, and could talk with you about so many things that you touched on tonight. I even went back and watched the video you made before this. I definitely rang the bell tonight!😊
This is why I still wear mask, social distance, won’t get on an airplane or other public transportation. Too many people believe the pandemic is over, yet it still spreads and folks are still getting infected.
Love your videos Patti..I believe people come in to our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. We have to work out which it is and hopefully it helps xx
I thought i was dying from the tiredness the first time i had Covid. It knocks you out for a while. I am so glad you are feeling better and you look beautiful.
Patti I’m a grandmother to three beautiful boys, 7,6 and 18 months. My daughter is now separated from their dad and she’s the best mamma ever imo - far better than I was with my four children. I was always cleaning and doing chores of some sort but my daughter does her chores when they are at school because nothing comes between her interacting or cuddling her boys, she’s amazing. My grandsons also watch me, we always play together and cuddle up, something I regret not doing so much of with my babies like I should have. This time around I have time on my hands and those boys are my absolute world. Like most grandmamas I relate totally to how you feel about your precious babies and they are blessed with having you as their grandmama. 💖
Patti, I got SARS COVID2 pneumonia. I was in hospital 2 months. I was told I had a 40% of living thru it. I refused the vent as I knew I’d probably not get off that alive so I asked for external forced air ventilation. I was out of it for about three weeks. I became so weak I couldn’t hold a plastic spoon. I had to learn to walk again. I was just happy to be alive. The nurse told me most of the Covid patients in the ICU had been vaccinated. I had one Vax but had a terrible reaction to it. I got home on a walker and oxygen and physical therapy. Now a year later, I have long covid. My hair fell out, my skin got scaled, my fingers stopped bending and brain fog was bad. My lungs are scarred and I am short of breath. I’m exhausted all then time. My new normal. I’ve hardly been sick at all my entire life. I’m glad you had it easier and I’m keeping you in my prayers.
You are a very young looking 80! You look radiant and that deep pink color shirt is such a good color on you. Thanks for the video. It is good sometimes to talk about life and not just makeup! Your story about staying young by keeping active is true. I felt energized this morning to clean up my garage and get rid of stuff I have stored way too long. It made me feel so much better just organizing stuff to go to charity. And some electronics will go to a special place for disposal or recycling. I tell you it has been years upon years and I just never "got around to it". Well, I am this week! It feels good.
Your a doll ...I'm 74 in May ... shocked that I need to get both hips replaced .....my summer is toast 😩 ... but God has a plan for us and I will accept to carry my cross..... life is good 😊 ...God bless and please keep me in your prayers as I will you and yours 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you Patti for making me realise that growing old is part of our lives. It’s okay to live with memories good or bad, but, not to stay stuck in those memories forever. It’s okay to let go sometimes and be kinder to yourself. For 12 years, after my husband death I only wanted to be in the past were life was easier and more comfortable. My husband and I met at 18 and 19 years old, l was 10months older than him. We married very young when he was 22 and I was 23years old. He died suddenly of a massive heart attack at 55, 13 days before my 56st birthday and one month and 12 days before our son’s wedding. I was in a state of shock for a very long time and I closed myself to the world. My life was home work, work home. I even brought work home so that I could be busy with something as long as I wouldn’t think about my pain. Than my grand children were born and I became nana and with that I got a new role. My son moved to Finland in 2019 and on my first visit that year for Christmas I started to like living again and I have been better since then. I will be 70 this year and believe it or not I am looking forward to it. I still have a full time job and I work minimum of 9 to 10 hours a day and I love the fact that I can still have a senior position and my brain is still working fine 😄 I really loved your conversation and I can say that today I was the student 😊 I realised that life is made of all kinds of memories and those memories are part of us but we must not duel in it. Thank you for helping me accept that.
My daughter gave me the thrill of identical twins…what an unexpected, wonderful gift. No twins on either side of their family.👧🏼👧🏼 My 5 grands are my joy & fun!
I am very relieved to see that you are feeling well, now. I get so much from your graceful observations of life. You look beautiful in any light, so please keep us updated as time permits.
Patti, I am 70, have MS, seizures, and weak bones. I have a friend, just a bit younger than me, who lived with us for a short while and told me she never takes medicine. However, I do believe that if she ever needs to take medicine, she will take it. Medicine has come a very long way in my 70 years! We all wish we could say "I don't take medicine" but when you have something wrong with you that can be helped, (like seizures) you will take medicine. It is a blessing for you to be able to say I don't take medicine, however, many people with severe problems must take medicine to live a normal life. Thank you for listening and I love your videos!
Thank you Patti I really needed that I just lost one of my best friends here in Florida , she was a wonderful Christian women who was a mentor to me. I am 75 now , hearing you say that certain people are there in our lives at certain times just hit home to me it was comforting to hear that so thanks have a great day and hope everything is working out for your family ❤️
Happy that you and Jim are feeling better. This video looks great. As always you look pretty. Thank you for bringing us up to date on your health problems. God bless you and your lovely family. 🌺🐾🇨🇱
Thank you for giving us an update. I was truly concerned. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. You look good. Take care. I appreciate what you video for us. You and your family are in my prayers. Have a nice day.
Yes! I love your makeup and clothes videos, but what we’re interested in is YOU!! Your life, your take on things, your loves, your advice. We love YOU!!! 🥰
Sometimes we think certain things happen for one reason and yet there could be others. You are so meant to be there with your grand babies and you are a blessing to each other and it’s a blessing. ❤️
Hi Patti, I’m right behind you, I’ll be 78 this June. I found you about 2 years ago and have watched now and then, more times recently as this age thing has truly kicked in. Thank you for sharing.
I hope you were wearing a mask during this 'adventure"!! Otherwise you may have infected people at the airport and anywhere else you came in close contact with others. I've taken prednisone off and on for years. Gives you lots of energy and help your breathing. You sound like you did fine taking it the way you did. Hope all is well. Basically my memories are all I have. 73 and have two rare auto immune diseases that effect my breathing big time. I rarely go out and no one comes in my house. not easy since I'm a very social person. Keep up the good work.
Ellen you are right thinking about other travelers who were exposed to covid. I was eating for her to said that she and her husband tested Negative before the trip specially going to a house where babies lived. I got covid but never felt really sick. It was like when you at getting a cold but did let anyone inside my home until I tested Negative. The worst place to be when your inmune system is weak is inside a plane since a lot of people can be infected and nobody prevented them to fly. International travelers were required to show proof of the Negative covid test done within 24 or 36 hours before the flight.
I, too tested positive for Covid on Feb. 1 after feeling like I had the flu for 2 days. I suddenly was so weak that when I got up to go to the bathroom, I passed out and everytime I tried to get up I would pass out again. I didn't have my phone close (I live alone) so it took me 2 hours to slide on the floor to call 911. At that time, I didn't know I had covid, I thought I had the flu. When the ambulance got there my B/P was 60/44, they were freaking out and wanted to get an IV going. Long story short, it was covid. I was in the hospital for 2 days. The fatique was overwhelming and the shortness of breath. I took the Paxlovid also and an inhaler. It is now March 5 and while the fatique is better I still have SOB when I take my dog for her walk twice a day! I am shocked that your daughter would want you to be around babies when you just had Covid!!! That seems very dangerous to me as a nurse!! No one else could help???
My niece is an ER RN here in Southern California. It's very frustrating for her when people especially of a certain age who are at risk for severe Covid, or sometimes even worse, the virus's parting gifts as she calls the probable long term damage. But that being said, most of us will get it. Knock on wood I'm a unicorn at 61 and haven't had it. I love you Patty and so glad you're doing well! Just remember you can't be there for your kids, if you don't take care of self first. It's no one's business your decisions. I follow influencers for their makeup and style, their lives are their own. The only other two cents I'll give is, if you're still testing positive, it's considerate to stay away from other people to help stop the virus merry go round. You never know who you infected along the way. I don't mean you have to be a hermit but if you do go out while positive mask up with an n95. My 83-year-old uncle passed on from pneumonia brought on by Covid, he contracted it from his housekeeper who was still positive and didn't mask because she said she got too hot. God bless everyone. We can still have a good time and stay safe!!
I felt the same way 😮 those 2 yr olds hopefully are healthier than us by going to preschool, sharing germs daily with the other babies!! 😊 God bless one & all.🤗
I believe that our memories can sustain us through feelings of loss, and absolutely enrich our lives, but this is NOT the same as regret, or living in the past. Living in the present is essential to make the most of our time, with family and friends, and to remain current and engaged keeps us youthful, regardless of our years. You are evidence of this 😘☘
The last part of this video is what i needed. Hearing you felt like a warm hug ive needed for a long time. I love that you want to share those precious thoughts. Im here for it ❤ 😊
You are a beautiful, amazing human. I'm glad I found this video. Glad covid is in your past! I'm still recovering and the fatigue is horrendous!! Enjoy those grandbabies ❤️
Hello Julie....old is part of our lives. It’s okay to live with memories good or bad, but, not to stay stuck in those memories forever. It’s okay to let go sometimes and be kinder to yourself...covid is such a bad experience for us all but we thank God for life...Julie hope you enjoyed the video?
Love you Patti. I've used a few of your great tips. You're a model for aging so beautifully. But seriously, who can think, gosh, who would have guessed? ... covid after a cruise??? Such a surprise! I guess the entire boat was full with intelligent people thinking that. Take precious care of yourself.
Oh my gosh Patti, when you said you "feel so young" "you play with them" really touched home because that's exactly how i feel! They make me feel young again, i love to go over and play with them as that makes me feel like a kid again!!!!!!!!
Patty, the setup you have and your phone is good. Don’t fret about the quality not being adequate. We who love you connect with you because we love YOU not your setup and/or equipment. You have such wisdom and insight and I agreee with the thought that people enter and leave our lives in seasons for reasons. I have learned this over my almost 73 years and am thankful now for the hard lessons learned and taught. Keep improving in health and stay as positive and caring as you are now. You are my inspiration. You are a ROCK STAR to me.
Love you Patti!!!! One thing my Mom told me a couple weeks before she died was that I was the kindest person she knew!!! It made my day and then some!!!!
Pattie...DEAR Special Pattie..I believe you are my Teacher at his point in my life.I watch you..I LISTEN on the edge of my seat for the jewls of wisdom..but also the friendship..chatting..I love you as a Mother..a friend and wish you lots of love always I'm 59.Iost my mom when I was 32..And had never allowed any ladies to take me under their wing so to speak.But..then there's this kind heart that I hear..Thanks Pattie.
Bless you for being there for your family - and I am SO GRATEFUL that you are recovering. My 80 year old neighbor is recovering from Covid, and the exhaustion has been her biggest symptom as well (including sneezing and coughing). I will share your post with her❤️…
Pattie, Isn’t it beautiful when you have a guiding Angel with you to enjoy those God moments in your life. I believe your smooth trip and the Angel right there to hand you your bag off the conveying belt was not a coincidence. I’m sure your daughter is loving you for your support with whatever they have going on. No one can replace a loving mom in time of need. May God bless you and your family and be with you, and give you the strength to continue to be strong for your daughter and her family. 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
Glad you and Jim are better. Such a special time you are having with the grandkids. They grow up so fast, in the blink of an eye. Hope you are all safe and care of yourselves. Your phone camera did a great job and I'm not sure where you were looking, but it was like you were looking directly at us. Lighting was good.
You must be right because I was drawn to you at 1 am and I really needed to hear you. Please keep reminding us, and thank you for being my teacher tonight 💚
Love you too ❤️. I can so relate to what you shared. At one time I thought why did that in my past, but now I realize there were good reasons. I am the person I am today because of my past. Spreading kindness is so rewarding. I'll be 70 in April & you're my teacher. Thank you. 💕
So glad to know you’re okay, sweet lady! My Sunday is now complete. God give you strength and healing on this journey. You’re wise, strong and overflowing with kindness and love. You are such a role model to all who admire and love you. Until we meet again…love and prayers!🙏🏻💞
Please share more with us about your philosophy and thoughts on life, Patti. I personally, enjoy your deeper input more than any info on make up or clothes, they're fine for light entertainment, but your feelings and experience on this journey we are all on, is so enlightening, and helps us all. I so agree with your 'student' 'teacher' lesson, I have had so many people move on recently, and I have had to also, it's comforting to hear your experience, and what you say is comforting and validating, thank you. 💚 Please give us more.
It's wonderful seeing you again and I'm so happy that you're over the covid feeling much better you look wonderful with your grandbabies it's a joyful time look amazing I love you and I hope I can see you again soon you always in my prayers and I love watching you make me feel as if I'm not there with you God bless you into I'll see you again on your videos stay safe and God bless and yes you be kind to others as well
So good to see you, Patti--I was one of the 'worriers'. I'm also grateful that you made it through Covid. Now, go have fun with those babies and don't worry about us until you're back home and settled in. 💕
I was worried and I want to thank you so much for taking the time to post. I'm glad you're well now and having a great time with the grandbabies. Post when you can. I have grandchildren and great-grandchildren but I don't put their pictures on social media. There are too many bad people out there who can use those pictures for who knows what. (Can you tell I have children in law enforcement?) Anyway, I'm SO glad you're back. Please take care of yourself! Sending you love and wishes for your continued good health!
It happened to us also. Cruise at Christmas, got home Christmas eve. He had to be taken off the ship in a wheelchair. I had to take hubby to ER that evening -he couldn't breathe or walk, very ill. He had to stay in the hospital for a week and is still on oxygen at home. I tested positive Christmas morning. I had a very high fever, ill and alone. I had it 14 days. Hubby is still recovering. and on oxygen. And we had all the shots.
Hi Patti, glad you’re doing well. You’ve always seemed like the voice of reason, so I can hardly believe that you and Jim couldn’t think of a safer way to take a vacation. Seniors taking a cruise in an age of Covid is absolutely crazy. I hope your story serves as a public service announcement for others.
Hi Patti, I commented on your other video - saying that your lipstick shade was a few shades too dark for you. This shade that you are wearing here - films so much better and looks much younger on you. You are such a beautiful lady, you are probably a bright or cool summer - in the Color Me Beautiful type color analysis system. This shade of lipstick is GREAT on you! I love this color for you - and your eye shadow also looks so beautiful! I see YOU, not your makeup here -- this is a great look for you!
It's so great to see you! Thank you for the updates. I think the video looks amazing! I know you all have so much to handle right now. I'm so glad you are feeling better and helping your family. Also, I sincerely appreciate the twists and turns your channel takes. You always have something new, on point, and especially the life learned wisdom you share with your viewers. Thank you so much for all you do. ~ Belinda🌺🌺🌺
Hi Patty, glad you are so much better. I know you filmed with your iPhone but it worked. The lighting was sufficient & your voice was clear. Don’t worry about the other equipment. We just enjoy hearing from you. God bless, Maria from Longwood, Fl
What a profound video. I do believe every single person who has come and gone in my life was a teacher or the student. And all have left something behind. Even though I married in 1968 during the Vietnam war and my husband left when he got home... I would never have had my beautiful son who turned 50 this year. And had given me three grandsons!!!! So though it was so painful at the time, and I was heartbroken.... I could never have known what was ahead for me. And I don't look back with regrets. Life happens. We have good times and bad. We make good decisions and some not so good. I will be 73 this year and have loved and been loved . My life is my life. And I am grateful to still be here. And have been the teacher and the student.
I am so glad yall are feeling better. As far as me I dont have to know what's going on. I will be praying for yall. You just enjoy loving on those precious grandchildren. We will see you when you're able. Love your channel.
So great listening to you - I don’t know if you’re a therapist or a guru but listening to you is both uplifting and therapeutic. The ending of your talk today - “I believe people come into our lives for a season, a reason, or a lifetime, and when it’s over it’s ok to let it go” - this set off cowbells in my head as I realized I had lately been stewing about losses both in the recent past and the extremely deep past (stuff from my twenties - 50 years ago!). Needless to say did I ever hear the words- It’s ok to let it go! When it completely sank in, I just laughed out loud both in relief and at myself! Thank you Patti, I’m so glad you’re well and posting, I think your talk today was the best advice I’ve ever actually heard. 32:05
Hi Patti thank you SO much for your chat. Hope you and yours will ‘weather the storm’ and your time with your precious family will be its own blessing. Glad you and hubby Jim have recovered well. Love from the UK🥰🇬🇧☘️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So glad you are feeling better Patti. I am going to be 84 in May and I know what you mean about memories. The 21 of March marks the seventh anniversary of my sweet husband’s death. He suffered from LBD. We were married for 50 years. Such wonderful memories but those memories gave me the strength to get up and go on. I am busy with so many activities with friends and family In fact I soon will be going to London to visit with my youngest daughter and her family. ❤️💕
Thank you 🙏🏼 Patti … glad your feeling much better… I really needed to hear your message today about the aging thing ! Yes please be a reminder when you can 🌺
I’m 64 and just getting over Covid. Prayers for anyone and everyone who have to deal with this virus! Ugh! My doctor said I had to do a zoom call before I could get meds. Since I don’t have a phone where I can do those things and I don’t have a computer, they wouldn’t prescribe me any meds for Covid. I had to get over it on my own.
Good you were able to pull through covid without Meds. Alway have organic honey, ginger, lemon and Turmeric powder in kitchen. I drink 1 tea spoon of Turmeric with a little warm water 4 days a week and 3 days make a tea with ginger and honey to avoid getting sick. Taking lemon and honey as a booster, Vitamin C and zinc each benefit various systems in the body but they both support the immune system and reduce the risk of you getting sick. May God continue to bless you, keep you healthy and safe.🙏💕🇨🇦
That doctor who made an oath to protect life should lose his license. He evidently does not respect the oath life, you and himself whose soul is greatly marred.
Patty our family will be praying for you your daughter your husband and everyone in your family you're the most kindest sweetest woman I have ever set and listen to with a kind heart I understand what you're going through I lost my daughter in August of 73 so it's been a while that I have another daughter that's very sick on dialysis we choose to pray because we love listening to you you are the most sweetest person do we know that Jesus will be looking down with his loving arms around you and walking with you through all your path to let you know that you are loved amen and God bless you honey
I agree with you Patti, I always take less, or not at all, whatever is overprescribed for me by docs, it's the best policy. Stay safe, you are such a wonderful presence, your daughter is SO lucky to have you! Keep us posted on how you are 💖
You were meant to make that trip, Patti! The universe was telling you that every step of the way. EVERY time I’m sick I overdo that first day I feel great and then pay for it. SO glad you and family are doing well now. Enjoy those precious babies!
I am so glad that you’re feeling better…. Also, you are an amazing mom and grandma going to help your daughter and her family! It is a blessing for you all…. Thank you for the wonderful reminder about people who are or have been in our lives. I believe that with all my heart. Stay well and thank you for this update and inspiration! ❤
Patti, you are so sweet, and pretty, and kind, but I know you will ALWAYS be young, and smart, and live in your present (and enjoy your past). I'm 66, my husband of 47 yrs is 72, he's still a working veterinarian, his mom is 92 and sharp which she always will be. We have 3 grandchildren, it's wonderful! I'm so glad you have this time and especially since you (and hubby) recovered fully from Covid! It's so good to see your video, and find how well it all turned out, thank God.
You are an inspiration, I am 73 & I tend to not live in the moment. I seem to be saying to myself I don't have many years left. While mentally I realize none of us are promised a tomorrow & we need to take each day as it comes, it scares me of the time I only have left. Gee, too much info; but I do look forward to a tomorrow. Thank you so much for this video, inspiring!!
If you were to live till 95 years old, that is 20 years! How do you want to live them? Moaning and growing or making the most of yourself and your life yet to live?
@Judy Bryant thank you for your reply. I do try & take one day at a time; but I think @ our age it is natural to think about how much more time we have. Aging is not for the faint of heart, oh yeah, I don't consider that "moaning & groaning" as some might suggest. It just is what it is.
@@debbieyates29 I guess it is a natural thing. As you said in the beginning, we're not promised tomorrow but after your late seventies, you can't have that much time left even if you live to be 100. Time flies so fast now. My husband passed at 77 of Altzheimers basically. I was 73 at the time and had too much to do with him to think about it. Then covid hit and all you had was time. I guess we just need to try and make every day count while we can. It is comforting that I'm not so different than anyone else if they admit it. Thanks
Patti - this is a beautiful video, with a beautiful message, from a beautiful person. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So happy you are well now and with your lovely daughter and family. Take care - Caryl in NJ❤🧡💛
Thanks for sharing your experience, Patti, and thank god you are well again. I hate aging. I just turned 73. I cannot believe I am that age. I have found you and Nanny and Moosie and you are all just wonderful and sooo needed. Thanks for all that you all do. xxx
Patti you bring a peace to me that very few people are able to do. l find you so genuine and caring and yes, you are wise. l am 67 years old and often live in the past. l think about what i could have done differently until i become depressed. l needed to hear your message today. You bring me peace and i am so happy to hear you are feeling better. Please keep making these videos while at your daughters home. Even if they are short videos. You are so soft spoken and i always feel better after watching one of your videos and hearing your stories. Your voice alone has a calming influence over me. l think of you as a friend.
Me too
You are so kind and soft spoken as a dove
Lovely
Hi Janice. I feel like I often live in the past also. I'm 59 and feel like my best years and times are behind me and I don't have much to look forward to. I"m retired and have too much time to think. I'm prone to depression and unless I keep busy I think negatively. I feel like Patti is a friend also and look forward to her vlogs. I also love Suzi from Alternative Aging. Another sweet soul who is uplifting and fun to watch...
@lindabolique. You are still relatively young at 59…imho I wish the best for you and hope that you find enjoyment in things and keep your head up. 🙏💕 God bless 🙏 adventures may be right around the corner.
Janice DiNapoli I'm 72 and live in the past most of the time. I made so many mistakes and have so many regrets that I, too, get very depressed. Patti is very soothing, I agree. 🌹
@@CaliChaos99 Thank you. I volunteer and do needle felting and try to stay busy. It's all I can do. Otherwise, I dwell on my physical flaws. I've been diagnosed with BDD and I hate it.
What you said about not living in the past really hit home with me. I've been a widow for almost 20 years (I just turned 69 in May). I've been thinking of my years with my husband so much lately, and I know I need to not forget - I never could, he was the man of my dreams - but to live in the present and look to the future and all that it holds. The best is yet to be. Thank you so much for helping me in so many ways. ❤
No lights, no camera's, not a single luxury, but you jumped on the plane into the arms of your loved ones and I'll bet, as happy as can be.🥰
I'm so happy to hear that you are recovering.
Don't feel you need to share. Personal is personal. We love you. ❤️
Enjoy every minute with your little ones. They grow so fast.🌹
Hello Mary...old is part of our lives. It’s okay to live with memories good or bad, but, not to stay stuck in those memories forever. It’s okay to let go sometimes and be kinder to yourself....what do you think about this video Mary?
My husband and I were sick for 2 weeks with Covid. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse on a Friday and by Sunday we were horribly sick. Headache, muscle pain, fatigue, shortness of breath and sore throat. Took covid tests as a precaution and we both had it. We were vaccinated and boosted, but still very sick. Still getting over fatigue. Glad you recovered.
Pattie you are a wonderful role model. Your grandkids are blessed to have you.
Hello Binger how are you doing today?.....she as forth a good fight as a mother she did a couple of sacrifice to show how much she love her grandkid's..what do you think about this video?
Some of us are not physically able to "move on", we only have the memories. So make alot of them so you have them to carry you through.
The part of your video about not living in the past hit me in a profound way. I’m 58 and lost my 54 yr old husband to cancer 4.5 months ago. He was a freakishly smart and very talented musician and songwriter. It’s funny you mention student because each of us always mentioned how much we learned from each other, as we had different skill sets. But we definitely felt like we shared a brain. We were together 26 years but had only gotten married in June 2019. I’d just lost my brother to a very similar cancer in Jan 2019 - he’d been living with us during treatment and hospice. I can’t help but think that time taught Mick & I lessons that we didn’t know we’d need just 2 yrs later when Mick was diagnosed. I keep reliving every moment of our time together and, while that seems to get a tiny bit less with time, it’s still difficult to not “go there.” So…I will take to heart what you’ve said and try to keep reminding myself. We didn’t have kids together but he was a great bonus dad to my daughter. I don’t have grandkids but my brother gave us his beloved red heeler cattle dog, Annie, before he passed. And now Annie and I help each other through all of the illness and loss of the past 5 years (counting my brother’s illness.) All of this is to say Thank You for making this video. I look forward to more. 💙
Dear Shannon💐So sorry you lost your beloved husband🙏How wonderful you have sweet Annie with you.🤗
Enjoy your family. BTW…Lighting was great
Bless you! What a beautiful writing. I am so sorry for your losses. I am 58. My 53 year old brother was just diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in January. Boom...our lives changed in an instant. As with our dads cancer 5 years ago. I was struggling today. You and Patti helped me.
You are a total joy…those beautiful kind blue eyes make me smile.
@@neanea1173 Sending you positive energy and prayers. 💙
Love the whole ambience of the room - windows , outside scenery , and my fav tulips. Don’t change a thing ! How wonderful that you were able to be there when they needed you ! As a mom - I appreciate your honestly, openness , calmness and yet keeping your privacy.
Hello Joan how are you doing today?
she has take a whole lot of sacrifice for love i pray may God reward her cause she has done well as a mother....hope you enjoyed the video?
My 69th birthday is this month. I can't believe I am this old. I find myself thinking more and more about the past and what if I had done it differently. I had a wonderful past and I miss it. I needed this today. So glad you are better. Enjoy the little ones.
Happy Birthday!
Great video. I am 79 and when I was 65 I took care of my Grandaughter 4 days a week for 5 years. I gave her my undivided attention for 8 hours each day. We also played, sang, read, built with blocks, colored, ate and had a ball all day. She learned to talk and do everything very young because she had adult input all day long. It is some of the most cherished memories I have. I felt like a kid again and had as much fun as she did. Now I tell her about the things she said and did and we laugh about it. That time was a gift from God for me.
Hello Patti, first off, the video from your phone is clear and the background very pleasant You are such a caring mother.Glad to hear you are feeling better and can be there for your daughter and her family at this time. Its always reassuring to have family come around to help out in times of need.Yes indeed, its way better to keep looking forward and not get stuck in the past through grief of things gone or no longer the the same, including our own health. Being creatures of habit, it can be hard sometimes to except change, but when their is no going back, we just have to push forward as gracefully as possible The serenity prayer is ever so helpful to keep things in perspective,when things become overwhelming.. But grief and mourning is a process and the healing time is different for everyone to process and heal. For sure coming to understand that it is essential for our own health and peace of mind, to keep looking forward and not stay stagnant mourning the past. This is also mentioned in the Holy bible, that we need to press forward and not keep looking back . Love your sweatshirt:be kind. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and kindness.you are in my prayers through my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.Amen! ❤🙏❤🍃🌹🍃
You are a beautiful woman, inside and out. I love listening to you. I am 72, happily married for 53 years and am grateful to be the age I am. I agree with you on everything you have said.
3rd bag off!!! That's so amazing! Always wish for that!! 💜💜
God bless you richly Patty- this was so helpful so valuable - made me cry - thank you so much for making a video in the midst of your circumstances I appreciate it - big huge hugs love you friend- Joyce
Patti, I have watched you off and on for a few years, but I haven’t watched anything consistently for the past 4 years. I have been very busy with my “significant other”. I do not like that term, but I am 86, and feel that’s a little too old to call him my sweetheart. That is exactly what he was though, and he passed away last October. The past 5 months have been extremely hard, but every day is getting better. Tonight I found you again, and know for the first time that you are from Pensacola. I am, too, and could talk with you about so many things that you touched on tonight. I even went back and watched the video you made before this. I definitely rang the bell tonight!😊
You're just so sweet and personable and kind !!
I appreciate you!..
🥰🌺😇
This is why I still wear mask, social distance, won’t get on an airplane or other public transportation. Too many people believe the pandemic is over, yet it still spreads and folks are still getting infected.
@@galechicago325 true, people still spreading it and some still die from it.
Your phone is perfect for your lives. Sorry you have been so sick. I look forward to your next live ❤
Patti, I’ve always believed “ People are in our lives for a season, a reason or a lifetime”. Keep on keeping on, phone video looks great!
Love your videos Patti..I believe people come in to our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. We have to work out which it is and hopefully it helps xx
I thought i was dying from the tiredness the first time i had Covid. It knocks you out for a while. I am so glad you are feeling better and you look beautiful.
Patti I’m a grandmother to three beautiful boys, 7,6 and 18 months. My daughter is now separated from their dad and she’s the best mamma ever imo - far better than I was with my four children. I was always cleaning and doing chores of some sort but my daughter does her chores when they are at school because nothing comes between her interacting or cuddling her boys, she’s amazing.
My grandsons also watch me, we always play together and cuddle up, something I regret not doing so much of with my babies like I should have. This time around I have time on my hands and those boys are my absolute world. Like most grandmamas I relate totally to how you feel about your precious babies and they are blessed with having you as their grandmama. 💖
PATTI. YOU ARE LONELY ❤️❤️❤️
THAT'S WHY YOU TALK SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️
Patti, I got SARS COVID2 pneumonia. I was in hospital 2 months. I was told I had a 40% of living thru it. I refused the vent as I knew I’d probably not get off that alive so I asked for external forced air ventilation. I was out of it for about three weeks. I became so weak I couldn’t hold a plastic spoon. I had to learn to walk again. I was just happy to be alive. The nurse told me most of the Covid patients in the ICU had been vaccinated. I had one Vax but had a terrible reaction to it. I got home on a walker and oxygen and physical therapy. Now a year later, I have long covid. My hair fell out, my skin got scaled, my fingers stopped bending and brain fog was bad. My lungs are scarred and I am short of breath. I’m exhausted all then time. My new normal. I’ve hardly been sick at all my entire life. I’m glad you had it easier and I’m keeping you in my prayers.
You are a very young looking 80! You look radiant and that deep pink color shirt is such a good color on you. Thanks for the video. It is good sometimes to talk about life and not just makeup! Your story about staying young by keeping active is true. I felt energized this morning to clean up my garage and get rid of stuff I have stored way too long. It made me feel so much better just organizing stuff to go to charity. And some electronics will go to a special place for disposal or recycling. I tell you it has been years upon years and I just never "got around to it". Well, I am this week! It feels good.
There is a beautiful softning than can come to us as we age. You are finding that softness. Please keep posting.
Hi Pattie so lovely to see your back I am so sorry to hear what happend to you and your husband with COVID I hope and pray your both better now 🥰
Your a doll ...I'm 74 in May ... shocked that I need to get both hips replaced .....my summer is toast 😩 ... but God has a plan for us and I will accept to carry my cross..... life is good 😊 ...God bless and please keep me in your prayers as I will you and yours 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you Patti for making me realise that growing old is part of our lives. It’s okay to live with memories good or bad, but, not to stay stuck in those memories forever. It’s okay to let go sometimes and be kinder to yourself. For 12 years, after my husband death I only wanted to be in the past were life was easier and more comfortable. My husband and I met at 18 and 19 years old, l was 10months older than him. We married very young when he was 22 and I was 23years old. He died suddenly of a massive heart attack at 55, 13 days before my 56st birthday and one month and 12 days before our son’s wedding. I was in a state of shock for a very long time and I closed myself to the world. My life was home work, work home. I even brought work home so that I could be busy with something as long as I wouldn’t think about my pain.
Than my grand children were born and I became nana and with that I got a new role. My son moved to Finland in 2019 and on my first visit that year for Christmas I started to like living again and I have been better since then. I will be 70 this year and believe it or not I am looking forward to it. I still have a full time job and I work minimum of 9 to 10 hours a day and I love the fact that I can still have a senior position and my brain is still working fine 😄
I really loved your conversation and I can say that today I was the student 😊 I realised that life is made of all kinds of memories and those memories are part of us but we must not duel in it. Thank you for helping me accept that.
My daughter gave me the thrill of identical twins…what an unexpected, wonderful gift. No twins on either side of their family.👧🏼👧🏼 My 5 grands are my joy & fun!
I am very relieved to see that you are feeling well, now. I get so much from your graceful observations of life. You look beautiful in any light, so please keep us updated as time permits.
You are so blessed…and such a blessing! ❤
Patti, I am 70, have MS, seizures, and weak bones. I have a friend, just a bit younger than me, who lived with us for a short while and told me she never takes medicine. However, I do believe that if she ever needs to take medicine, she will take it. Medicine has come a very long way in my 70 years! We all wish we could say "I don't take medicine" but when you have something wrong with you that can be helped, (like seizures) you will take medicine. It is a blessing for you to be able to say I don't take medicine, however, many people with severe problems must take medicine to live a normal life. Thank you for listening and I love your videos!
Thank you Patti I really needed that I just lost one of my best friends here in Florida , she was a wonderful Christian women who was a mentor to me. I am 75 now , hearing you say that certain people are there in our lives at certain times just hit home to me it was comforting to hear that so thanks have a great day and hope everything is working out for your family ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss xxx ❤️ from Ireland xx 🇮🇪
Happy that you and Jim are feeling better. This video looks great. As always you look pretty. Thank you for bringing us up to date on your health problems. God bless you and your lovely family. 🌺🐾🇨🇱
Thank you for giving us an update. I was truly concerned. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. You look good. Take care. I appreciate what you video for us. You and your family are in my prayers. Have a nice day.
Hello Carol how are you doing today i hope everything is fine with you?
Yes! I love your makeup and clothes videos, but what we’re interested in is YOU!! Your life, your take on things, your loves, your advice. We love YOU!!! 🥰
Sometimes we think certain things happen for one reason and yet there could be others. You are so meant to be there with your grand babies and you are a blessing to each other and it’s a blessing. ❤️
God be with you. Peace be with you. For you are a kind, sincere, very lovely lady, human being. 💕🙏💕
Dear Ms Patti,
Just you keep safe and well.
Enjoy Every Minute with your Gran Babies.
Love and Blessings

Hi Patti, I’m right behind you, I’ll be 78 this June. I found you about 2 years ago and have watched now and then, more times recently as this age thing has truly kicked in. Thank you for sharing.
Your beautiful inside and out Thank you been loving your videos for years now
You’re filming is perfect! The lighting and sound is fine! 23:51
I hope you were wearing a mask during this 'adventure"!! Otherwise you may have infected people at the airport and anywhere else you came in close contact with others. I've taken prednisone off and on for years. Gives you lots of energy and help your breathing. You sound like you did fine taking it the way you did. Hope all is well. Basically my memories are all I have. 73 and have two rare auto immune diseases that effect my breathing big time. I rarely go out and no one comes in my house. not easy since I'm a very social person. Keep up the good work.
Ellen you are right thinking about other travelers who were exposed to covid. I was eating for her to said that she and her husband tested Negative before the trip specially going to a house where babies lived. I got covid but never felt really sick. It was like when you at getting a cold but did let anyone inside my home until I tested Negative. The worst place to be when your inmune system is weak is inside a plane since a lot of people can be infected and nobody prevented them to fly. International travelers were required to show proof of the Negative covid test done within 24 or 36 hours before the flight.
I, too tested positive for Covid on Feb. 1 after feeling like I had the flu for 2 days. I suddenly was so weak that when I got up to go to the bathroom, I passed out and everytime I tried to get up I would pass out again. I didn't have my phone close (I live alone) so it took me 2 hours to slide on the floor to call 911. At that time, I didn't know I had covid, I thought I had the flu. When the ambulance got there my B/P was 60/44, they were freaking out and wanted to get an IV going. Long story short, it was covid. I was in the hospital for 2 days. The fatique was overwhelming and the shortness of breath. I took the Paxlovid also and an inhaler. It is now March 5 and while the fatique is better I still have SOB when I take my dog for her walk twice a day! I am shocked that your daughter would want you to be around babies when you just had Covid!!! That seems very dangerous to me as a nurse!! No one else could help???
I was really shocked that Patty was still not well, and at her age needed to rest, all the while her daughter asking her to come help her!
Hi Marsha. They’ve had Covid recently.
@@rxstrmom Many people have had it two and three times, so why take a chance on passing it around again?
My niece is an ER RN here in Southern California. It's very frustrating for her when people especially of a certain age who are at risk for severe Covid, or sometimes even worse, the virus's parting gifts as she calls the probable long term damage. But that being said, most of us will get it. Knock on wood I'm a unicorn at 61 and haven't had it. I love you Patty and so glad you're doing well! Just remember you can't be there for your kids, if you don't take care of self first. It's no one's business your decisions. I follow influencers for their makeup and style, their lives are their own. The only other two cents I'll give is, if you're still testing positive, it's considerate to stay away from other people to help stop the virus merry go round. You never know who you infected along the way. I don't mean you have to be a hermit but if you do go out while positive mask up with an n95. My 83-year-old uncle passed on from pneumonia brought on by Covid, he contracted it from his housekeeper who was still positive and didn't mask because she said she got too hot. God bless everyone. We can still have a good time and stay safe!!
I felt the same way 😮 those 2 yr olds hopefully are healthier than us by going to preschool, sharing germs daily with the other babies!! 😊 God bless one & all.🤗
I believe that our memories can sustain us through feelings of loss, and absolutely enrich our lives, but this is NOT the same as regret, or living in the past. Living in the present is essential to make the most of our time, with family and friends, and to remain current and engaged keeps us youthful, regardless of our years. You are evidence of this 😘☘
You are such a darling person!!!!
Ms. Patti, you have SUCH A SWEET SPIRIT TO YOURSELF 😊
God Bless you and your family
The last part of this video is what i needed. Hearing you felt like a warm hug ive needed for a long time. I love that you want to share those precious thoughts. Im here for it ❤ 😊
You are a beautiful, amazing human. I'm glad I found this video. Glad covid is in your past! I'm still recovering and the fatigue is horrendous!!
Enjoy those grandbabies ❤️
Hello Julie....old is part of our lives. It’s okay to live with memories good or bad, but, not to stay stuck in those memories forever. It’s okay to let go sometimes and be kinder to yourself...covid is such a bad experience for us all but we thank God for life...Julie hope you enjoyed the video?
So glad you and Jim are doing well! ❤
Love you Patti. I've used a few of your great tips. You're a model for aging so beautifully. But seriously, who can think, gosh, who would have guessed? ... covid after a cruise??? Such a surprise! I guess the entire boat was full with intelligent people thinking that. Take precious care of yourself.
Oh my gosh Patti, when you said you "feel so young" "you play with them" really touched home because that's exactly how i feel! They make me feel young again, i love to go over and play with them as that makes me feel like a kid again!!!!!!!!
Patty, the setup you have and your phone is good. Don’t fret about the quality not being adequate. We who love you connect with you because we love YOU not your setup and/or equipment. You have such wisdom and insight and I agreee with the thought that people enter and leave our lives in seasons for reasons. I have learned this over my almost 73 years and am thankful now for the hard lessons learned and taught. Keep improving in health and stay as positive and caring as you are now. You are my inspiration. You are a ROCK STAR to me.
Love you Patti!!!! One thing my Mom told me a couple weeks before she died was that I was the kindest person she knew!!! It made my day and then some!!!!
This is by far one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips. You’re an amazing woman. ❤
I am so glad I found your channel. I am loving it and loving who you are. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Pattie...DEAR Special Pattie..I believe you are my Teacher at his point in my life.I watch you..I LISTEN on the edge of my seat for the jewls of wisdom..but also the friendship..chatting..I love you as a Mother..a friend and wish you lots of love always
I'm 59.Iost my mom when I was 32..And had never allowed any ladies to take me under their wing so to speak.But..then there's this kind heart that I hear..Thanks Pattie.
Bless you for being there for your family - and I am SO GRATEFUL that you are recovering. My 80 year old neighbor is recovering from Covid, and the exhaustion has been her biggest symptom as well (including sneezing and coughing). I will share your post with her❤️…
Pattie, Isn’t it beautiful when you have a guiding Angel with you to enjoy those God moments in your life. I believe your smooth trip and the Angel right there to hand you your bag off the conveying belt was not a coincidence. I’m sure your daughter is loving you for your support with whatever they have going on. No one can replace a loving mom in time of need. May God bless you and your family and be with you, and give you the strength to continue to be strong for your daughter and her family. 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
Glad you and Jim are better. Such a special time you are having with the grandkids. They grow up so fast, in the blink of an eye. Hope you are all safe and care of yourselves. Your phone camera did a great job and I'm not sure where you were looking, but it was like you were looking directly at us. Lighting was good.
You must be right because I was drawn to you at 1 am and I really needed to hear you. Please keep reminding us, and thank you for being my teacher tonight 💚
Hi Becki how are you doing today i hope everything is fine with you?
Love you too ❤️. I can so relate to what you shared. At one time I thought why did that in my past, but now I realize there were good reasons. I am the person I am today because of my past. Spreading kindness is so rewarding. I'll be 70 in April & you're my teacher. Thank you. 💕
So glad to know you’re okay, sweet lady! My Sunday is now complete. God give you strength and healing on this journey. You’re wise, strong and overflowing with kindness and love. You are such a role model to all who admire and love you. Until we meet again…love and prayers!🙏🏻💞
Please share more with us about your philosophy and thoughts on life, Patti. I personally, enjoy your deeper input more than any info on make up or clothes, they're fine for light entertainment, but your feelings and experience on this journey we are all on, is so enlightening, and helps us all. I so agree with your 'student' 'teacher' lesson, I have had so many people move on recently, and I have had to also, it's comforting to hear your experience, and what you say is comforting and validating, thank you. 💚 Please give us more.
It's wonderful seeing you again and I'm so happy that you're over the covid feeling much better you look wonderful with your grandbabies it's a joyful time look amazing I love you and I hope I can see you again soon you always in my prayers and I love watching you make me feel as if I'm not there with you God bless you into I'll see you again on your videos stay safe and God bless and yes you be kind to others as well
So good to see you, Patti--I was one of the 'worriers'. I'm also grateful that you made it through Covid. Now, go have fun with those babies and don't worry about us until you're back home and settled in. 💕
I was worried and I want to thank you so much for taking the time to post. I'm glad you're well now and having a great time with the grandbabies. Post when you can. I have grandchildren and great-grandchildren but I don't put their pictures on social media. There are too many bad people out there who can use those pictures for who knows what. (Can you tell I have children in law enforcement?) Anyway, I'm SO glad you're back. Please take care of yourself! Sending you love and wishes for your continued good health!
Happy you're back and feeling better. Enjoy those babies!! 💜💙💜💙
It happened to us also. Cruise at Christmas, got home Christmas eve. He had to be taken off the ship in a wheelchair. I had to take hubby to ER that evening -he couldn't breathe or walk, very ill. He had to stay in the hospital for a week and is still on oxygen at home. I tested positive Christmas morning. I had a very high fever, ill and alone. I had it 14 days. Hubby is still recovering. and on oxygen. And we had all the shots.
Praying for you all. Blessings to Jennifer and her wife. Love from Niagara Falls , New York
Hi Patti, glad you’re doing well. You’ve always seemed like the voice of reason, so I can hardly believe that you and Jim couldn’t think of a safer way to take a vacation. Seniors taking a cruise in an age of Covid is absolutely crazy. I hope your story serves as a public service announcement for others.
Hi Patti,
I commented on your other video - saying that your lipstick shade was a few shades too dark for you. This shade that you are wearing here - films so much better and looks much younger on you. You are such a beautiful lady, you are probably a bright or cool summer - in the Color Me Beautiful type color analysis system.
This shade of lipstick is GREAT on you! I love this color for you - and your eye shadow also looks so beautiful! I see YOU, not your makeup here -- this is a great look for you!
You look young too! My grand babies make me young! Wonderful lesson about the teachers and the students!
It's so great to see you! Thank you for the updates. I think the video looks amazing! I know you all have so much to handle right now. I'm so glad you are feeling better and helping your family. Also, I sincerely appreciate the twists and turns your channel takes. You always have something new, on point, and especially the life learned wisdom you share with your viewers. Thank you so much for all you do. ~ Belinda🌺🌺🌺
Hi Patty, glad you are so much better. I know you filmed with your iPhone but it worked. The lighting was sufficient & your voice was clear. Don’t worry about the other equipment. We just enjoy hearing from you. God bless, Maria from Longwood, Fl
What a profound video. I do believe every single person who has come and gone in my life was a teacher or the student. And all have left something behind. Even though I married in 1968 during the Vietnam war and my husband left when he got home... I would never have had my beautiful son who turned 50 this year. And had given me three grandsons!!!! So though it was so painful at the time, and I was heartbroken.... I could never have known what was ahead for me. And I don't look back with regrets. Life happens. We have good times and bad. We make good decisions and some not so good. I will be 73 this year and have loved and been loved . My life is my life. And I am grateful to still be here. And have been the teacher and the student.
Hi Sweetheart - so glad you're feeling better - here's to a lovely Spring - Love you!
You are such an inspiration and a beautiful soul. A fabulous story teller too! Glad you are better 🙏🏻
love you and glad you are ok. you are an inspiration.
I am so glad yall are feeling better. As far as me I dont have to know what's going on. I will be praying for yall. You just enjoy loving on those precious grandchildren. We will see you when you're able. Love your channel.
So great listening to you - I don’t know if you’re a therapist or a guru but listening to you is both uplifting and therapeutic. The ending of your talk today - “I believe people come into our lives for a season, a reason, or a lifetime, and when it’s over it’s ok to let it go” - this set off cowbells in my head as I realized I had lately been stewing about losses both in the recent past and the extremely deep past (stuff from my twenties - 50 years ago!). Needless to say did I ever hear the words- It’s ok to let it go! When it completely sank in, I just laughed out loud both in relief and at myself! Thank you Patti, I’m so glad you’re well and posting, I think your talk today was the best advice I’ve ever actually heard. 32:05
I agree!❤
I am so glad that you feel better and please enjoy being with your daughter and your grandchildren ❤️🌹
Hi Patti thank you SO much for your chat. Hope you and yours will ‘weather the storm’ and your time with your precious family will be its own blessing. Glad you and hubby Jim have recovered well. Love from the UK🥰🇬🇧☘️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s so good to hear you’re over Covid. Patti Praying for you and family. God bless.
So glad you are feeling better Patti. I am going to be 84 in May and I know what you mean about memories. The 21 of March marks the seventh anniversary of my sweet husband’s death. He suffered from LBD. We were married for 50 years. Such wonderful memories but those memories gave me the strength to get up and go on. I am busy with so many activities with friends and family In fact I soon will be going to London to visit with my youngest daughter and her family. ❤️💕
You,go,girl,have a wonderful trip!!
@@karenwright9123 Thank you Karen. In fact my little granddaughter is turning four and we are going to “high tea”
Thank you 🙏🏼 Patti … glad your feeling much better… I really needed to hear your message today about the aging thing ! Yes please be a reminder when you can 🌺
I love your channel. I am thinking of how grateful I am for you. ❤
How lucky to have such a bright happy presence to help during a difficult time! You are a special lady. Glad you feel better too.
You are doing so well, you are an inspiration to all of us. You are a wonderful mother and such a great person. Thank you for sharing your wisdom❤
I’m 64 and just getting over Covid. Prayers for anyone and everyone who have to deal with this virus! Ugh! My doctor said I had to do a zoom call before I could get meds. Since I don’t have a phone where I can do those things and I don’t have a computer, they wouldn’t prescribe me any meds for Covid. I had to get over it on my own.
Good you were able to pull through covid without Meds. Alway have organic honey, ginger, lemon and Turmeric powder in kitchen. I drink 1 tea spoon of Turmeric with a little warm water 4 days a week and 3 days make a tea with ginger and honey to avoid getting sick. Taking lemon and honey as a booster, Vitamin C and zinc each benefit various systems in the body but they both support the immune system and reduce the risk of you getting sick. May God continue to bless you, keep you healthy and safe.🙏💕🇨🇦
Great advice! I do much the same!
I reminded my doctor about her Oath! No good doctor is to leave you hanging!
@@tarayacoob3198 Vitamin D3 is essential!! 👍
That doctor who made an oath to protect life should lose his license. He evidently does not respect the oath life, you and himself whose soul is greatly marred.
Patty our family will be praying for you your daughter your husband and everyone in your family you're the most kindest sweetest woman I have ever set and listen to with a kind heart I understand what you're going through I lost my daughter in August of 73 so it's been a while that I have another daughter that's very sick on dialysis we choose to pray because we love listening to you you are the most sweetest person do we know that Jesus will be looking down with his loving arms around you and walking with you through all your path to let you know that you are loved amen and God bless you honey
I agree with you Patti, I always take less, or not at all, whatever is overprescribed for me by docs, it's the best policy. Stay safe, you are such a wonderful presence, your daughter is SO lucky to have you! Keep us posted on how you are 💖
You were meant to make that trip, Patti! The universe was telling you that every step of the way. EVERY time I’m sick I overdo that first day I feel great and then pay for it. SO glad you and family are doing well now. Enjoy those precious babies!
Patti! Glad you are feeling a little bit better!
God bless you for being so generous and kind!
Thks you for the update!!♥️🙏😊🇨🇦
I am so glad that you’re feeling better…. Also, you are an amazing mom and grandma going to help your daughter and her family! It is a blessing for you all…. Thank you for the wonderful reminder about people who are or have been in our lives. I believe that with all my heart. Stay well and thank you for this update and inspiration! ❤
Patti, you are so sweet, and pretty, and kind, but I know you will ALWAYS be young, and smart, and live in your present (and enjoy your past). I'm 66, my husband of 47 yrs is 72, he's still a working veterinarian, his mom is 92 and sharp which she always will be. We have 3 grandchildren, it's wonderful! I'm so glad you have this time and especially since you (and hubby) recovered fully from Covid! It's so good to see your video, and find how well it all turned out, thank God.
You are an inspiration, I am 73 & I tend to not live in the moment. I seem to be saying to myself I don't have many years left. While mentally I realize none of us are promised a tomorrow & we need to take each day as it comes, it scares me of the time I only have left. Gee, too much info; but I do look forward to a tomorrow. Thank you so much for this video, inspiring!!
If you were to live till 95 years old, that is 20 years! How do you want to live them? Moaning and growing or making the most of yourself and your life yet to live?
Debbie, I do that too and I know I shouldn't but still I do. I'm 77 and I wonder will I think about it even more as I age.
@Judy Bryant thank you for your reply. I do try & take one day at a time; but I think @ our age it is natural to think about how much more time we have. Aging is not for the faint of heart, oh yeah, I don't consider that "moaning & groaning" as some might suggest. It just is what it is.
@@debbieyates29 Yes.
@@debbieyates29 I guess it is a natural thing. As you said in the beginning, we're not promised tomorrow but after your late seventies, you can't have that much time left even if you live to be 100. Time flies so fast now. My husband passed at 77 of Altzheimers basically. I was 73 at the time and had too much to do with him to think about it. Then covid hit and all you had was time. I guess we just need to try and make every day count while we can. It is comforting that I'm not so different than anyone else if they admit it. Thanks
Patti - this is a beautiful video, with a beautiful message, from a beautiful person. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So happy you are well now and with your lovely daughter and family. Take care - Caryl in NJ❤🧡💛
Thank you so much for sharing, I'm fighting covid right now.
On another note, love ❤ your eye makeup.
Hugs ❤🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing your experience, Patti, and thank god you are well again. I hate aging. I just turned 73. I cannot believe I am that age. I have found you and Nanny and Moosie and you are all just wonderful and sooo needed. Thanks for all that you all do. xxx
