- living in this old home healed my depression as I DIY using tree branches of the tree I chopped down 3 months ago. Living and retiring in this old traditional Japanese home is changing my life for the better. My depression healed by living in this old home. Thank God. Today I am sharing how I solve the difficulty of watering my loved staghorn ferns.
Please keep telling your story. I feel much of what you feel. Watching your videos is teaching me what I need to do to feel happiness again. I am proud of you and all that you do.🌺
I'm glad to see you here again. I hope that by sharing my story I can give a bit of a hint to let others know that they're not alone. Thank you...
@@livingwithgraceinjapan We are not alone ❤️
You are a good wife. More blessings to you!
My husband told me the same. Thank you so much! God Bless!
Thank you for inspiring me to live my life better.
Thank you, Hersh, for giving me the chance to inspire you. The pleasure is mine.
That was a pretty interesting accomplishment with your ferns. They look like orchids. Will they flower?
Indeed, keeping busy and not dwelling too much on life’s hardships help us cope. It’s great knowing you’re gonna be ok and found this house as your salvation. Good health to you and your husband. 😊🙏
Hello, Pearl. It won't flower but they will give beautiful leaves though. For me, nothing else to do is a torture that I could not bear in my life and that won't happen in this old house. Thank you, Pearl. Have a great time!
You are such a caring wife. I admire you for that.
Hello, Julie... oh. Thank you so much for your kind words. We're just the two of us until the end so... thank you for watching and for your comments.
I am Japanese and growing up it was where you don’t show certain emotions but I always fought that idea. I found that as I got older I still kind of fit into that 😕I took care of people professionally and then also family members but I had a work life which gave me an outlet. Later I left work to do care 24/7 for a family member and I started to lose myself. Someone told me I was depressed so I sought therapy and I remember telling my mom about that and she refused that thought and told me I was alright. I had to stay on course and see it not as a form of weakness but as an action of self care. She still thinks I don’t need help and I have since been alright …you’re right about diy and finding beauty in things you love to do. That is living ❤ I pray you stay with this channel and it grows because there are so many you can help and in turn, I hope your channel/youtube will be able to provide you with financial return and even sponsors like home improvement or gardening products, care products and of course a big loving community ❤ Thank you my friend -sending you healing, strength and love! Hello to your husband and please tell him I am happy he is doing better!
Dear Francine, I read your beautiful comment. It is in the Japanese culture not to show emotion, while the opposite in the Filipino culture. I am more fitted to the first though. In my case, our life was even in danger in the Philippines so I had this trauma which sometimes keeping me awake at night. But since we moved back to Japan and secured ourselves here, I'm relieved. Francine, thank you for your wishes about me doing this channel. Thank you, Francine. Thank you so much.... - Grace
Hi Grace, I like what you are sharing in your videos, your day to day life in Japan. I'm glad that you found peace and happiness in what you are doing.
Hello, Julie... yes. I prefer to move my body as well doing things which has something to do with plants, sewing, cleaning my space, writing. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope to see you here again.
Great storytelling Grace and wonderful video. Thank u for sharing!!
Meow!!! Hugs! I am getting used of dividing my time including the shooting of clips and editing. And feeling free to share what I've inside so that is the result. Glad you're here, Meow!
@@livingwithgraceinjapan Grace, would you be able to do a day in the life type of video? From morning to bedtime routine?
@@lavidameow , you have given me the title and the description as well!! All I need is to take clips, edit and put my feelings in it based on what we are doing. I will, Meow! I can and I will fondly make it!
Nkktuwa po keo mag asawa 😍 nkakainspired 🙏
Thank you! God blesss...
Hello Grace . Was your house one of the numerous vacant Japanese houses that sell for very little money ? I've read about those houses that need a lot of hard work . 15 years ago I was in the same position as you with a husband who
needed 24/7 care . I never realised I was severely depressed until my clothes started literally falling off me because I barely ate a tiny bowl of rice per day . Nothing but rice . Then my husband couldn't stay home any longer and needed professional care . It's taken me years to recover but now I'm at peace , I cook healthy dishes again , I enjoy plenty of little things . Have a good evening 😊
Hello, Marie. I had a quick chat with the owner of this house asking the price. But it will take time to decide because there are indeed struggles of living in an old house in Japan. Imagine I'm 80, hopefully I'll reach that age, taking care of a yard like this. My husband doesn't want the idea of buying a house. He prefers to live in a so-called "mansion" or "apartment" where I have nothing to worry about weeding. I will make a video about the details of the so-called akiya or abandoned houses in Japan.
Thank you for sharing your story with your husband. How wonderful it is to have this kind of conversation with you, Marie. Have a good day! - Grace
mezurashii to find someone who has been living here in japan for more than 3 decades 😊 , same here ! as of these past long years I've been fully concentrated on my family and have no friends at all. nenreitekini depression? comes and goes for me, worst times were when I'd hate afternoons knowing I'd get so so sad at night tho my husband and kids are all by my side. Imawa daibu yoku narimashita. Glad to find this vlog, nakaka relate ☺️ nakaka inspire☺️ nakaka kalma🙂and yes your graceful 👍
Hello, Maria! Thank you for letting me know about you by commenting. Hajimemashite!
ANG GANDA NG MUSIC, MAKA PANG HINUKTUK MAN SAD TA..
Thank you for the 1st 4 words, I understand Tagalog. What are the next words mean? Thank you for watching!
@@livingwithgraceinjapan bisaya words kasi yan, hindi ko po alam ang exact word sa tagalog. Pero ang ibig sabihin " mag-isip ng malalim at malayo ang tingin" muni2x ba tawag dyan?
@@areeBetu Thank you 🙂
Life, love, living. To go beyond just existing. These are wonderful videos. I'm wondering if I should do the same being married so long to a Palestinian husband when the world thinks of them as terrorists. They are merely trying to hang on to what they have/had as the occupiers take more and more of their land and lives. That's all I'll say about the subject. You are doing well in helping the rest of us to cope. Thank you.
Reading your comment, Fash. At first, I wanted to compile my thoughts in one place ( YT channel) for my grandchildren to watch when I'm gone and they're grown-up already. I want them know how their grandma live a life in Japan with grace. If I eat with my hands because that is our culture in the Philippines, I'd like them to see that. But for now, the people who are getting some kind of "peace" through my videos are my fellow women who're in the similar condition in life. I'm honored and grateful.
❤❤❤
Thank you, Ming for clicking the video and watching it.
Nice vlog ❤ new subscriber here❤
Thanks for subbing!
Should remove the song lyrics as is blocking the translation wordings.
You have blessed with green
fingers. Very healthy plants so much greenery colorful flowers. Very honey feeling
They are not song lyrics. I learn Japanese from the subtitles!
Hello, Pauline. I know what you mean. Please do the following: 1. go to the video that you have been watching 2. pause it 3. when you paused it, check the right top. click the settings 4. click the - captions turn off . Please let me know if you find it right.
@@amywan1653 , thank you, Amy! Pauline refers to that annoying automatic captions that pop-up accessorized by youtube. It is not my video. It should be the settings on her youtube app..
