Its so funny when you mentioned the noises older people make getting in and out of a chair....I heard Sophia Loren years ago said after watching her mother and grandmother do that .. she decided she never would. Ever since then I have been mindful I would never do that either. So at 71 , even when I am alone, I never grunt when getting up or down!!! it really is a decision. Also I am like your MIL in that every morning I put on earrings and lipstick ... and I live alone ... so its for me. If I happen to see someone then I feel good that I made the effort . Also in my head I think I am 35..... I really don;t care what the numbers say!!!!
I so agree with you, I was in a Bible study probably 10 years ago and there was a beautiful woman she was in her early 80s always dressed to the hilt always so sweet always happy and I ask her her secret, she said never gray hair she always had her hair done, she get up in the morning she get dressed she put her lipstick on she put her makeup on and she put her jewelry on, just like she was going out and it made the day for her number one for tonight, and she always looked on the bright side of everything, and I really try to do that I have a little problem with my posture I’m working on that I went to modeling school years and years and years ago and they taught us that my mother taught me stand up straight I have a terrible time with that and I’m working on it.
I heard Sophia say that too and have done the same!
I went for a dental cleaning earlier this week at 7am. When the dentist came in he said “my god you look smashing”! I laughed and said “gotta make an effort even this early in the morning”. It was such a lift for my mood. I was just wearing a necklace and earrings and simple all black clothes. Felt so nice to be noticed at 67.
I have become such a fan and this video made me aware that it wasn’t the gardening, which is lovely, it is the magnetism and positivity you exude. The smile draws one in and your sense of interest in everything around you makes one want to hear what you have to say. I also realized that the qualities I adored in my mother are those same ones you exemplify. My mother always took an interest in her appearance and abhorred people her age who gave up and dressed like their days were done. She wore makeup and colored her hair until her last breath at 86. She learned to use a computer in her late seventies to be able to communicate with her granddaughters when they went away to college. She was so proud of emailing and messaging them and they could never get enough of her. Such a legacy. I have found lately that I don’t have patience or time for the constant complainers and downers. I want my daughters and grandchildren to remember me as fun and with it. Just do not want to spend life frowning and moaning. Thank you for the great insights and for reading your fans comments. You seem to have the gift of making every person feel as if you are so glad they are interacting with you. Wish you continued success and joy.
Amen to all of it!
I couldn't have said this better Linda. I loved this video and felt like I was sitting having coffee with you. I too look so forward to your gardening videos but enjoy these also. You made my day better today! Thank you!
A few things I focus on in my life at 63.........Mindset is everything. Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're probably right. Make it a regular practice to find the positive, no matter how small, in every situation. (Don't throw out the donut just because there's a hole) Stop waiting for "some day", use the good lotion today. Surround yourself with people who aren't like you in age, perspective, interests, etc. It's always a great idea to stretch your capacity and learn to appreciate a new way of seeing life.
Every day I shower, some times two times.. full makeup..dress up jewerly..all that..love it..
I am super creative... my house is everything..I will be 70 in June...which is just a number attached to me.. my career was in the beauty business and design...love my life...very blessed.... gardened everyday with my husband,
Many many flowers
Etc. Until he passed.
Moved... and moving forward... so enjoy what you have now...❤
My grandmother once told me when I asked her about her arthritic fingers (she was a seamstress and an artist), "On honey, no one wants to hear about an old lady's aces and pains." It marked my life and has helped me live my life the same way. This was such a good topic. Your pants are everything.
This was such a rich, and dense with insights video and resonated on so many levels. I think it becomes more important as you age to focus on the positive. I recently read about someone asking an older neighbor who was in a wheelchair if they felt trapped. He replied that on the contrary, the wheelchair gave him freedom. It is so much about how you frame your reality. Thank you for such great tips; this one will keep me thinking all week.
Linda, I am inspired by your enthusiasm and energy. I am 74 and do not feel I look or act my age; that I appear younger. I too garden and enjoy the fruits of my labour. I was told some years ago not to hang onto the bars of the treadmill at the gym but rather stand tall and walk. In other words, do not position yourself to prepare for a walker! I have always remembered that and do try to stand tall.
Literally didn’t think I could love your videos anymore and then this! Would love for you to continue more lifestyle videos. I’m 50 and this made me really think at how true your words delivered were in my life. .Just what I needed on this cold January day. Thank you for sharing your tips in every area. You are a gem!
Loved your video. I would add
6. Find a higher power of faith
7. Smile often
8. Make an effort to be with friends
9. Have a purpose
10. Do what you love
Thanks Linda for these inspiring ideas
@Linda Vater and wear boots that make you look taller🤣💪
I agree with the “old person expressions “. I hear it from my husband and myself too many times. It’s the very thing that used to bother me about my parents. They could always pick something critical or negative to say even while looking at something beautiful. I’ve found that we are quickly “turning into our parents” at a much younger age. It also brings others down when all we do is complain or whine. I’m going to share this with my husband and really try to quit doing this. Thanks for being bold enough to broach this subject.
Linda, I can relate to everything you've talked about. I am MANY years older than you, but I refuse to be "old". I'm so grateful every day that I have my health and am able to do most things I want to. I think being grateful is so important. I laughed about making grunting and groaning sounds because even though I don't do that around home, I find myself doing that when getting out of a car after a few hours of travel. Thank you for your videos as I am a fellow flower garden, and even though I'm no where close to your level,
Such great wisdom Linda on how to remain young. Youth isn’t an age, it’s a mindset. 😁 Another “Stay Young” item I’m working on is retaining the ability to sit on the floor and get up again without using something to pull myself up. Keeping tone is a must! Thanks for all your wisdom!
Yes!
Linda, I go to bed with a grateful mind and wake up giving thanks for another day to create happy memories!
Linda, I recently discovered your channel based on gardening searches. I am pleasantly surprised to find lifestyle videos like these, your house decor videos are the best because it's not another white box with a white kitchen and white furniture everywhere. It is so refreshing to see a house with characters and with a lived-in vibe. I don't know if you have a script to read from but your delivery is very fluid and these videos are so well made/edited. Thanks for providing interesting and real content for us all to enjoy and learn from! I will subscribe and look forward to future videos.
Welcome! No script lol… Just stream of consciousness ramblings😉
Boy did I need to hear this. Every bit of it. Thanks for this wake up call.
OMG Linda your mother story made my day! I lost my mother last September at 95. She lost her eye sight in her last couple years but when I was there with her my main job was to match all her collared blouses with the correct sweater or Jacket! She was always always concerned with her appearance until she passed!
Brilliant Linda, everything you mentioned was spot on. I loved the” old poopy curmudgeon “ expression. We all know someone like that! ☺️ The person I admired most was my grandmother who was 95 when she passed away. She was very interested in and knew about current affairs and would always ask us our opinions on what was going on at the time. She also was very big on first impressions and putting your best self out there. Great advice Linda, thank you!🇨🇦
Linda, thank u so much for covering this topic! Im 54 and recently began coming to grips with some abuse from my childhood. Im doing well with it, but things like what you covered today…I really needed to hear. When u concentrate on just “surviving” for so long, you can forget the things you mentioned here. Thank you for this video! It reminds me that I need to begin making my outside match the peace that I finally now feel inside! What a poignant and thoughtful video. Thanks again. Big big fan of the channel from Missouri.💙
Jeff good luck in your story as it unfolds. You’ve got this👍
God bless you...
So glad for you.
So, you're what I call a Curious Investigator! My mother in law was extremely curious and interesting, but most of all, interested in others. ❣️
I call it the 30 minute organ recital. When someone tells you about all of their ailments, and it moves from one organ to the next! My mother in law was a pro at that!😂. The joke was, don’t ask how she is, or you would get the 30 minute organ recital!
I love your videos, and am really enjoying these most recent ones. Thank you so much!
Great comment😁
I read this in bed with my husband sleeping next to me. I laughed out loud as I read your comment!
All of your tips are actions my mother preached most of my life. There is one very special gesture I remember about my mom. My dad came home from work everyday at 4:00, and at 3:45 everyday my mom would go to a mirror in our front hall and brush her hair and put on lipstick. Wanted to look special when her man came home from a hard days work. Also, my mom was always looking up words in the dictionary.
This video offered a wealth of very good life tips!
Loved this video, so,so, true. I'm 67, my mother taught me in her older age how to age gracefully. Her secret no one will be interested in your aches and related to aging. Stay active, socially, physical. My grandchildren keep me updated on technology,which
is a must in today's world, pray daily, eat healthy,enjoy everyday I have it's a gift....great video Linda. Uplifting,. An totally cool pants 😎
Thank you for this terrific episode! I chuckled at your observations many times! I turned 70 recently - I don’t know how that happened so quickly! We recently had a 70th birthday party for my high school class - dang, there were a lot of “old” people there! Like you, I believe you have to work at staying young in your thinking and learn something new every day. Keep smiling and sharing your great advice! Thank you!
Loved all the points you made today! Isn't it funny how our old boyfriends have aged so much more than us...😉! And Cary Grant!!!
Hi Linda, I loved your show today. I, too, am many years older than you and I can identify with everything you have said today. I feel blessed that I have lived to get old, but I refuse to get old in spirit! I love gardening, sewing, decorating and learning new things. I wait anxiously for your shows. I love that you cover so many areas that relate to so many areas of every day life. Love you.
Please don't take this personally, but I enjoyed this more than the garden videos. Thank you!
Again Linda you are so right,my husband and I have been married for many years. He gets up very early and by the time he goes to work I am dressed for the day with makeup on ,ready to give out goodbye hugs.life is so fragile and I don’t want him to remember that I never cared how I looked when he ,maybe, last saw me. I can’t believe that it would take much to make you look good! You make me feel better about myself every time I watch you. I would love to see how hubs looks! I’ll bet he is handsome and interesting like you are.
That was great, thank you! I'm 67, so I know of what you speak. I try to practice most of what you shared, but appreciate the reminders -- especially about the "moaning and groaning" that has become habitual. Most important, for me -- don't get stuck in "the good ole days" -- be open to new things, new music, new art, new people. Thanks again,
Thank you, what a great video! My husband's godmother is 96 and everyone who meets her is so impressed by her apperance, attitude and personality. I think she follows all of these tips especially remaining curious.
Hello Linda! I am loving these new video topics, you are such an inspiration and make us think a little deeper about things. Time goes by so quickly! Thank you!
I was so fortunate to have parents and grandparents who never ever complained. And when as a teenager, I thought of trying complaining because some friends did, and I heard plenty about it and I quit doing it. On the other hand at 70, once again I have friends who are monsters and growers and I really find myself checking out on their whole conversation. I really dislike hearing "you'll feel the same way when you get older" my response is really, because we are the same age. That ends the conversation. All of these things strike home with a group of people, and I never thought about why until you mentioned parents. I am absolutely certain that my boys will never behave in that way, so thank you. I'm giving myself a good mom pat in the back. One last tip is turn off your TV and read a book
I enjoyed this video- agree curiosity is critical for being engaged and mindful
Really loved this video. I am turning 60 in three weeks, quit my job I loved of 20 years and thinking about the next chapter of my life.
You are such an inspiration to this 68 year old woman. I look forward to watching your channel each day.
Thank u for giving us important tips that no one ever talks about...and it’s all free!
Excellent suggestions that cost nothing monetarily but only cost caring and effort.
Love all five and try to practice them. My husband I are retired and haven't been doing our usual socializing, even dining in restaurants, due to Covid. Therefore, I readily admit to spending some entire days in my pajamas or leggings. My entire family fondly remembers my grandmother, when asked how she was feeling, saying "perfectly terrible, thank you." LOL Also, it would be so great to meet Stewart. Why don't you interview him one day?
This video was so inspiring! Thank you beautiful Linda. I definitely need to work on exercise and my weight but the one thing that keeps me feeling young at 65 is babysitting my 11 grandchildren? Six of them slept over recently and as tired as I may get it is refreshing and a time of LOVE!
I agree with you on every point❣️
Thank you for sharing🙏🏻
How Refreshing You Are!!
You are making this Beautiful World even more Beautiful 🤩 by making people more mindful, and how much more interesting life can be when you really care 👏🏼 💛 🥰 ✨
Thank you so much for this video reminder. Everything you had to say was on point and helpful. Regarding the complaining, grunting, whining, that one really hit home with me. I am so grateful you brought this up. I have found myself talking about my age as if I'm "old", grunting & complaining because on most days I hurt when I move. My joints are achy & I'm out of shape. I need to see myself differently and quit talking about how "old" I feel. While I'm told often that I do look younger than my years, my attitude and how I talk about myself adds those years back on. I need to stop the negative talk! Thank you for encouraging and inspiring us to put our best selves forward. I hope you'll share more of this kind of wisdom with us.
I had to watch this twice because there were so many points you made that hit home for me and what had been swirling in my head for a long time. I've been articulating many of the same points to my husband who seems to be having a hard time accepting aging. I retired in 2018 and late last year I decided to find a part-time job (3days per week) to keep my mind sharp and get in more exercise. It's the best thing I'd ever done! I am learning to work with apps on phones, engaging with my peers and co-workers who could be my grand-children had I given birth at 20, walking an average of one mile per hour, light weight lifting....on and on. No stress for me whatsoever and I even received a "Rockstar" recognition last month at work. You are right about being involved with people of all ages; the interactions really do keep your mind open. Thank you for sharing some of your life philosophies in between gardening. I really enjoyed the vlog.
You rock!!
Love this video.. I really appreciate Linda's authenticity..she comes across as a real person and a friendly kind person
Linda, I can definitely relate to you on all points! I try to look at life as a child would by staying curious. I try to fix myself up everyday whether I'm going out or not. I love jewelry and accessorizing. I like to get my haircut every 5-6 weeks. I try to stay up on trends and styles without looking like a teenager. I believe attitude and gratitude are two of the best characteristics to staying young! My hubby and I rode on a party bus for our 16 yr old granddaughter. Her Mimi (me) and Papa (hubby) were the life of the party- dancing and singing along to the music! I still remember my disco days! Ha! Thank you for allowing us to go along with you on this journey.☮❤
I took my makeup off before I went to bed to night, I hadn’t done that in a long time. Thank you for reminding me I still care!
As usual, you have nailed it. I am in my mid 70's and have had osteo arthritis for 10 years & refusing to have 2 total
knee replacements. I had a rough time of it until I started trusting Jesus about it and now I hardly have
any pain unless I'm on them for any length of time. I still garden every day, but I have to sit on a stool to
even pull weeds or prune the low guys. I refuse to stop doing something that I love. All of your tips are
welcomed and, I think very true. Being grateful one day at a time is very important because that's all we
are given. You're an inspiration to us all and we love you just like you are................
Beautifully said
I agree , at 71 I have to work at not appearing older by taking care of my physical and mental health each day. Some days are better than others but putting your best self forward is important.
Absolutely the same as when I met David Niven, I was in my early 20 s he was strikingly put together and exceedingly polite and gracious and moved like a much younger man and his posture as he walked was as if he were in a film. He proffered his arm to me as I was walking on cobbles of a london road, he walked me all the way back to work, we had a good natter and he doffed his hat to me when we arrived 😊😊😊
Wow!
This is one of your better shows! Especially the Curmudgeon story! I knew a woman who had a heart of gold, but she was known for saying "It's so hard" about Everything! As sweet as she was, she could be unbearable.
The opposite was a Garden Club friend. Even in her mid 90's she worked in her garden every day. I really think it kept her young. Another woman I knew loved ballroom dancing. She danced all the way to her death at 107! And she always looked elegant! What an inspiration for this 68 year young chick!
Thanks girlfriend!
Linda, this is one of the BEST videos on aging I have seen. Of course, I love all your videos and hope you would consider doing one on cosmetics, products for the skin and any non invasive cosmetic procedures and how your view on all of these. Please keep doing what you are doing as you are giving such good insight to all of us. Thank you also, Stuart.
I do enjoy your videos... it’s cold in Arkansas and windy today... we get similar weather to y’all.. I have a dear friend who lives in Oklahoma City.. I am 73 and proud of it... and I have found that having friends who are younger, helps keep me younger... also I loved what you said about not complaining... several years ago I took a bad fall.. I have been a professional guitar player for 50 years, actually I turned pro when I was 16... I talked guitar for 45 years. And I am retired from teaching now.. back to the fall... I messed up my shoulder and holding my instrument and standing with the strap over my sore shoulder became more and more problematic... so after realizing complaining wasn’t going to help, I decided to sit in a chair use a guitar stool for my left foot.. get proper classical positioning, yes posture is important. Anyway I now play in one of my favorite clubs every Tuesday night and I sit, problem solved! The important thing is if there’s a will there’s a way... doing what you love keeps you young.. and yes things have been difficult over the last couple years for musicians... where are play everyone must have a vaccination to walk through the door.. Face masks and social distancing are used.. but we must do the things we love to do it.. that will always keep us young... again I love your videos please keep it up... I am learning from you... yes at 73 years old I have decided that I should do new things all the time and one of those things for me is taking up gardening🍀☘️🌼🌸🌻🌹🌷🌿🌱💚
I think you are right on all points. We all have things we need to be mindful of.
You should be a motivational speaker….this entire video reminded me of people I either know of or have known along the way….and I agree….nothing worse ever than a Debbie downer!!!! I steer clear at all costs!!! And so does everyone else!!! Haha….Linda, how you view the world and embrace it is so refreshing!!! Your life stories are simply the best….I laughed at the things you mentioned about the moaning and groaning while some of us are getting up and down….my mouth will be zipped tighter than a glued down drum from this day forward!!!! 😂 This was great….👏🏻
I totally agree with your comments about moaning and groaning. My husband is the worst,and since I retired and have been home and around him more, I am starting to do that too. I hate it! I do not remember my parents doing that at all. I am trying to work on not doing that, but it is a habit that has already set in pretty hard. Suffice it to say, it is going to be hard to overcome!
These are SPOT ON! I just turned 60 and these all resonated with me. Loved this video and the reminders!
Linda
I am so glad to have found you! I am in NYC so I live through your garden vids. You also inspire me in other ways as I am going through a dark period of my life.
Love you and Stuart- he is so sweet. Treat him well!
I really needed this right now Linda! Thank you for the pep talk! I’m 61 and people think I’m 10 years younger most of the time, but I’m a complainer and groaner. 🤭🤐. I’m stopping that nonsense today thanks to you! I’m going to be the youngest version of me! 😊🎉
Yes!
Happily Ever After Happens One Day at a Time!!! 💜🌟 Perfect!!! Love it!!!! Shared on Facebook. 🌼🌿💗🥰
Terrific and thoughtful Linda! Thanks for the shot in the arm!
Thank you so much for number three. I am 78 and have noticed that I am making these "old people" noises. I do not feel old otherwise. I will be more mindful of my expressions in future.
I notice it is hard for me to get up from the ground when working in the yard. I just turned 72 yesterday! So I make sure when I get up, my rear is facing the house!!!!!! Haha!
I don't want everyone in the neighborhood to see THAT view!
Connie, you made me laugh so hard when you talked about when you get up and make sure your rear is facing the house !!! I do the same thing !!
Me too!😂
Being a "questioner," the trait of curiosity, is our greatest asset. 1:Stand up tall and your confidence will improve in addition to your health. Some of your book recommendations have changed my life, and that's a great tip: nurture the skill of reading. If you don't enjoy it, find a coach through your local library - at any age. Once you read well you can teach yourself anything. Learn to appreciate poetry. 2: Dress for your self respect. I've built a wardrobe of "public pajamas," elegant comfortable clothes. I usually live in jeans and a tee shirt - easily dressed up with a colorful scarf, or a blazer and a brooch. 3: And worry is also a debilitating habit - it negates prayer. Start your morning listing 8 things you're grateful for. KEEP CHANGING. Thank you, Linda; you are a treasure.
Yes! And I have recently really started appreciating poetry too!
Spot on Linda Vater! Thank you for inspiring me today!😍
I was schlumping today - And thanked my Grandma ( who has gone on to Glory ) because I heard her say - Put your shoulders back & chin up & straighten up !!!!
When I watching this videos I get a lot of more experiences for new idea for support my life and go to the future growing ! I would like to say thanks so much for sharing this videos ! God Blessing Madam !
Love, love all these tips.. I wear jewelry every day it makes me smile. I believe we are the artist of ourselves and we can create any image that makes us feel good. Let your light shine!
Exactly!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and it hit home. As a woman who just entered her 70's, I can relate to so much of what you discussed. My great grandmother was lovingly called Mamu.
I called my grandmother Mamu !! Not that common.
I appreciate you & I'm going to jot down these tips as a reminder to check myself everyday until it sticks. Thanks so much.🌺
Exceptional video! I just sent this video to my grandmother who is classy, healthy, and my life monitor. I adore her.
This is my message with your video: “You do all these things! I started watching her for her garden content. She’s just so classy and stylish! She honestly reminds me a bit of you. You might enjoy watching other videos on her channel.
I dream of having a RUclips channel. I haven’t decided what I want to do yet but she is someone I look up to.”
I am so happy to have heard this video! Such helpful advice that may seem obvious but easily forgotten or overlooked. Thank you!!
You know Linda I listened to this two times. It is so encouraging, and so uplifting, and such wonderful advice. I have even shared it with my coworkers. I am 69 almost 70 and still working. Every day is a change and every day I have to work on excepting those changes. I Garden regularly, I try to keep up with my appearance, and try to do all the things that you mentioned. Thank you again for all of this inspiration that you were giving us. Sometime I find it even more valuable than your garden tips. But love just having you there to listen to and live life with❤️
Vicki is so important that we have supportive friends as we age isn’t it? Thank you dear heart
amen you are inspirational inside and outside of the garden keep doing you
My Tai chi instructor always reminds us to stand up straight. He is a nurse and sees so many people that are bent over. This makes it harder for the nurses to move the people that are bent.
Linda, you are very right on all points!
I am 71 and look fairly young for my age, but I am working on many of these tips as I am finding them true from experience. It is definitely not easy, but worth it!
Love the beginning Stewart did. So cute 🤗
Loved it!! My husband’s grandmother who passed away few weeks ago at the age of 107 was exactly like your mothers. She was curious about everything! Maybe that’s the reason why she stayed so energetic and aware of things up to the moment she past away.
I love hanging around my daughter’s and son’s friends, I learn what’s new and different in their lives and it brings me up to their level of living and helps me stay in their lives. And their friends like to have us around as well.
I so agree about making an effort with one’s appearance. It makes all the difference in the world for one’s outlook.
I find it's important to bombard your mind with positive thoughts throughout the day and I begin each morning by praying I will speak words that uplift and encourage. When tempted to complain or be negative I say to myself, "I speak words that uplift and encourage."
I really enjoyed your talk tonight. Being interesting and being interested was great! I have to get a new computer and I am nervous about learning a new system. But, I am up for the challenge. Sort of... reading good books. Old books, fun books, adventure books, fiction, romance, and wearing a great lipstick is always a good idea. Thank you for the encouragement not to "be" old!
You’re a great story teller. This was a fun video. Love Carry Grant too. Dreamy. I agree with doing the makeup and dressing to make us appear our best for others. Get up and get dressed America!
What a great video !!!!! I conquer on all the tips and you’re absolutely correct regarding the journey.
The Cary Grant story was great…..I remember attending the Academy Awards one year and thinking that Sophia Loren had incredible
posture……gliding as she walked on stage…..when you start to add all these tips to your everyday life…..you begin to feel better about
yourself and eventually seek out more ways to continue to improve yourself…..it’s addictive…..cheers from Camarillo, CA.
Absolutely loved this!!!
I loved your video today.! I’m a gardener in zone 7, and have learned so much great information from watching you. Since I am retired I’ve been able to spend more time in my garden. My biggest problem is that I don’t stop working until my back gives in. I love dancing, and found doing Zumba keeps me in shape. I call it “my happy hour”.
I work from home- right after I muck the horse stalls- I get dressed, do hair & makeup, style a fabulous outfit & accessorize. Makes me feel so good. I have impressed myself so much sometimes- I take selfies ( from the neck down mostly) to remember the awesome combinations !
My big things: GET GOOD SLEEP - on a great mattress & a My Pillow. And slow WAY down on the wine … 😳 😂
I love my MYPILLOWS 💞
@@deborahpellerito6117 Changed my life ! Not kidding. My whole life I fought sleep. Now- I look forward to sleeping. They must pray over those pillows!
This was fantastic. Every year i come up with a new theme for myself. This year it is anti-aging or aging gracefully. I love your tips. With winter and COIVD I let myself slip so I will really focus on Number two- my appearance. I came up with an acronym fo myself this year. SAGA. Skincare. Activity. Greens. Attitude. Unfortunately I am off to a slow start but Today is a new day!
Yes it is! You got this girl💪🏽
I think it is also in respect of those you meet or are at the same place as to look as good as you can for the occasion. At my eldest sons wedding one of our relative came in old shabby sneakers and Jeans. I felt so bad for my son and his newly wife to be treated that way. So of respect for both you and everyone around dress and behave the best you know and can. That’s my philosophy.
I so agree with everything you've said Linda and Marcia and Martha your comments are right on the button, It's Linda's positivity and enthusiasm that is infectious...........Linda you're good for the mental health.
Aw. I so appreciate your words :-)
I watched this video on 20 January, and I kept thinking about it. I watched it again on 2 February. Thank you Linda, it is such wise tips, and when I feel old and washed out, I apply your tips, and I feel years younger and positive.
Very good insight into the complaints, grunts, and groans. OIE!!
Oh my goodness, I just loved everything you had to say! Gave me a little kick that I think I needed.:))
I can't see you ever being a complainer except maybe where the weather is concerned. With your tip #4, I had a neighbor when I was goring up, and, I still haven't grown up yet, and will be 65 next month, who always said if You don't learn something new everyday you are dead. And was he correct, I guess so, as he lived to be 104 years old. I remember one day he came over to our house and was telling my mom about this great thing he discovered, Hamburger Helper, my mom opened up the cabinet and we had about 5 boxes of Hamburger Helper in there. He was devastated, but he was still enthusiastic, nonetheless. I try not to make noises when I get up from a chair but my 3 year old puppy dog, Sandy does instead. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for spring and more inspiration from. you and Stewart.
I think your right on the spot! I love ❤️ what you have to say! Thank you 😊
Whew💃💃💃. Some awesome reminders. Thanks Linda😎😎. I enjoyed this video… and needed it😎
EXERCISE at what ever level you can do it, even if it's only a few days a week. If you can only take a walk then enjoy the journey of looking at other peoples gardens. You will feel so much better by just getting up and moving. Start slow if you never have done it before.
Great video! Loved your examples and so fun to relate to them all! Stand up straight, quit moaning when you get up and no whining darn it! Love getting older with grace and wisdom! Thanks!
This was a wonderful video! I’m in my mid 40s, looking to others I admire and questioning them on how to age well. I appreciate your thoughts and stories on how to keep a healthy, curious and energetic body and mind. So much of our aging happens when we just stop putting in the effort to stay relevant, purposeful and hopeful. Thank you for being a lovely, encouraging woman!
Hi Linda, thank you for being so real, I feel as though we just sat down over coffee or tea and chatted about our shared life’s experiences. Such good encouraging words and reminders!
What a lovely compliment.
I feel younger & more energetic by watching Linda Vater videos 😝
Thats so funny. My husband and i will sometimes make those noises and we’ll say “i heard that” or “ you’re making old people noises again” lol
