    At my age, this is my life! My mind still feels like it’s in my 20’s, but now that I’m in my late 40’s, I feel my age at times, especially after a fire call! “Prime of life,” my butt! This one line from “Fried Green Tomatoes” said it all-I’m too young to be old, and too old to be young! Once again, you nailed it!

Not quite sure when we became the elders, the years definitely sneak up on you. Thank you for yet another insightful song🎶🎶🎶

    standing ovation! Every word was what I felt starting at 58 when this neuromuscular disease hit and has become my anthem. Arms too weak to dye hair so gleaming white paired with sensible shoes and cane make me invisible to all but animals. The bathrobe is perfect as I wonder do I deserve to have new clothes so uncertain of the end, being invisible, little holes, mismatch doesn't mean these clothes are not perfectly good...just as I am.

    •  2 года назад +13

      Thank you, Cheryl. I dare you to go and buy something GORGEOUS to wear because you absolutely do deserve it. Old clothes are perfectly good too, but never fall into the trap that new is no longer for you. Please!

Many women our age, even younger, go natural as to not deal with the chemicals next to their brains! (Never mind the cost) I understand you have limits, but please do whatever you can to help animals... volunteer? Every little gesture counts in a shelter. Sister Godess, I wish you all the best. Now go get those neon panties!!!✌❤🍕🤞

      I'm nearly 63 & in a wheelchair ♿& my spine isn't getting any better. I need a caregiver, too. But, all my life, I felt 'less than', not anymore! Clothes & makeup do wonders! UR WORTH IT! BUY NEW CLOTHES, MAKEUP & EARRINGS! Don't have to be new; thrift stores are great! Almost everything I buy, is from a thrift store! I get dressed & fixed up just for myself. I open the curtains & let the sunshine ☀ in! I dare you girl! Go for it! Be happy 😊! We're not getting younger, so embrace getting older. Even w/a cane or in a wheelchair! WE ARE WORTH IT!!

    Fantastic is always! Luckily it 56 I'm still not feeling a lot of this yet however I have noticed that suddenly I do find it hard to sleep through the night. Like I've got insomnia all of a sudden. Aside from a rare standalone night of insomnia here and there in my life I've never suffered from insomnia. I also now wake up anywhere between 4 and 5 a.m. anymore. I've always been an early riser but early as in 6:30 or 7 am. Even if I try I cannot get back to sleep and often I feel wide awake and ready to go at 4 or 5 in the morning and I don't know what's up with that. My eyesight as far as my vision from far-off has always been bad so I will probably never be able to see a decline in that that doesn't seem normal for me and I'm sure the rest of it will hit me in time. When it does I plan to continue my normal bit of taking everything in stride and looking at it from a sense of humor like you do.

    Unbelievable songwriting and voice. I felt like this song so took Co-Q10 and felt younger, BUT THEN, I tried Spirolina non gmo tablets, and I feel 15 years old, and work 12-18 hours a day. Thank you God and Jesus for Spirolina. Lost anxiety and depression also

    Another great video, parody here is on point. Many people can get half the comical lyrics for songs then it is a bit rough around the edges as they wing the remainder, but like always, you have it spot on. Very well done!

    Aging sucks!
    62 here, and trying to hold my own against a terrible case of osteoarthritis, and newly diagnosed pre-diabetes.
    Oh yes, and hypertension and Bipolar Disorder.
    [You can tell I am old not only by the number of chronic illnesses I’ve collected, but also by my willingness to share my ENTIRE health history. We haven’t even started on ALL the surgeries!!!
    😂 😂 😂]
    I think often (because it comforts me) that in ancient times I would have been considered to be either the elderly, wise community seer, or the crazy town hermit. 😝
    I am so grateful for the blessings of modern medicine that permit me to live each day and seek my happiness. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Another great one, Shirley! Yes, aging sucks and I became actually a little bit scared when I started to notice certain things I start to have problems doing, weight gain, wrinkles, falling asleep in front of the tv like my grandma used to and so on but its all a normal process. I just accept, that I might get things done a little slower or it takes 2 days work in the garden where it was 1 in past times - who cares, I still get it done. I started to work out a bit to keep muscle strength, eat even more healthy, take as much care of my mental and physical health as possible, greet every new wrinkle as a lived experience and a just enjoy my life.

I also appreciate how you pronounce your words so perfectly. Most of the time I just sit back and enjoy them to the full. I rarely need to read the subtitles. My hearing is going a bit, too, and I don’t know if that’s another symptom of the sixties….🤣🤣🤣 Well, maybe loud Rock n’ Roll is to blame too!🤣🤣. I love you, and your excellent songs..!

    I hear you Shirley… because I turned the volume up high 😂. Yesterday was our weekly ‘Blob Out/Pygama day’ . We had an unexpected visit from our grand nephews and niece 2yro-10yro. We were frantically cleaning the house and ourselves, and preparing snacks before they arrived. We love to see the kids, they live about an hour away, because of covid we’ve hardly seen them these past two years. It was a lovely visit but we were exhausted!!! 😂😂😂. I slept in until 6.25am this morning (shameful, I know) did the laundry, had breakfast, cleaned the house, started prepping dinner and now I need a nana nap hehehe.
