I love your channel. I’m a 64 year old male who lives a simple life. I come home every night & my wonderful dog Maggie is there to greet me. I think the reason why I’m always happy is. because I’m not married. You know the old saying happy life no wife.
Connie, your videos are such a treasure. You have the ability to turn around my low mood and fill my day with peace and joy. I am forever grateful for you and your content. Sending much love and may your 2023 be filled with blessings ❤️✨
‘Today is the only day that matters’ absolutely we wait for a future event or something. ‘When I get a better job’ or ‘When I move house’. Waiting. But we can be happy right now.
Happiness is found in simple things. 😊 We sometimes seek materialistic comfort & luxuries & get temporary pleasures, but confuse it as happiness. Happiness is found within, even without any expensive pleasures. It's all in the way of your thinking. 😊
@@ConnieRiet Unfortunately very few people realise this, and are running behind materialistic and sensual comforts. I am glad that you have understood life's reality & where true happiness is found. God bless you. 😊
Connie....I love your videos so much. I told my daughter she should check out your videos. You are better than going to a therapist. I wish everyone would tune in to your words of wisdom and the world would be a better place. Thanks so much!
This is a lovely message for everyone. I have myself struggled with inner peace and happiness all my life. I always seemed to be reaching for something that I didn't feel I had. Never needed a big house or a fancy car but just needed enough money to pay my bills and save a little. I am retired now and until the financial challenges came along was doing just that. Now days things are stressful with not quite enough money to accomplish my goals. That makes it hard to feel that happiness and at peace. I look for the small things in a day like a bird at the feeders or a squirrel playing on the lawn. So I have moments of joy and happiness.
I'm sorry for your hardships. It's wonderful that you are focusing on little things that bring you joy. Keep looking for the things that make you smile. happiness & peace
Hi Connie ! I'm in Australia, and I live with chronic depression, anxiety , and post traumatic stress. In am trying to implement relaxation and mindfulness techniques into my life. I want to radically change my life (lose a LOT of weight), and become more balanced. Right now my dog is the only person who gives me purpose. I have terrible depression! I have a lot of family conflict from two sisters who judge me and go to a certain church. And a mother who has never told me she loves me or is proud of me, and is super critical! I try hard but always wrong ! I am not like that, I embrace my elderly neighbours who live alone and a very caring person. I am a survivor of domestic abuse , and just find it so hard to trust men again. I wish I could find someone I can trust again ! Sonia Sydney, Australia
Thank you for your nice message. No need to stress out on things we cannot change or have no control over but sometimes we forget this simple fact. Regards,
Thank you for reminding us the beautiful things we can enjoy in life. I had heal myself from listening your videos, I was under a lot of stress in my life.
Connie, thank you so very much for today's video! It truly struck a cord with me. I am enjoying your channel and learning new life strategies. Thank you for your efforts 🌸🐾
Happy New Connie to you and your family. Sending blessings for the new year. I spent too many years feeling unhappy; which I have finally taken control of. I love listening to your soothing voice reinforce such an important message.
Hi Connie: You always provide gems of simple pleasures, happiness, and self care to enrich our lives as well as let go of negativity that waste our precious time on this Earth. Thank you. Jenny 💜🌈☮☯🕉🌞
Yes I choose happiness too. Happiness for me is jumping on my rebounder and soon it will be in skipping too. Just purchased a new rope! I have been following a vegetarian keto diet for the last month and I love it. Cutting the sugar and carbs out has made me feel physically so much better, calmer and my brain works way better too. Also I leave 16 hours between eating everyday so my body gets a proper cleanse and detox everyday. Happiness is also cuddling my cat, watching the snow fall, hearing the birds tweet and so many other things.
Wonderful video😊 I had to experience the most hurtful events in order to start living the way I live now. Life is happening and sometimes it gives us pain and then the days come when sadness is present. Those days will again come so I’m happy every moment when life is “normal”- it’s wonderful and magical in it’s normality! So many problems I had before, weren’t really problems. Now, after three decades on Earth, I truly understand what my mother is saying all the time. Health is gold and be grateful for everything that life offers because one moment it can and it will all end. Wishing you all a great and lovely day😌
Thank you for sharing you powerful thoughts and experiences with us. I have also found that it through the hardships of life when we gain the most wisdom. Sending you happiness & peace
Thank you, Connie, for this beautiful video. The music and your voice is so soothing. You give me a sense of peace. Much love to you and your husband. ❤️
Another beautiful video. I bought the chai tea that you drink and now it’s my favorite drink. I froth a little Oatley oat milk to pour in it and a little sugar. A delicious way to start my day. ☺️
Happy New Year Connie! Wishing you & your beautiful family a healthy, happy 2023. Thank you so very much for this video. It is wonderful. The sense of peace & calm it exudes is felt from the first note we hear. ♥️ I am looking forward to your future vlogs. 🙏♥️🌷🌻✨
Thank you for sharing this Connie, I'm always saying that it is the simple everyday moments and the little things that make your heart smile that are the best and most important things in life ❤️
what a lovely video to wake up to today; i felt a bit sad as a friend passed and the funeral was yesterday, so your calming words and beautiful scenes really helped me; yep happiness is now and today x
Beautiful and inspiring. Thanks so much Connie, I always love when I can start my day to one of your uplifting videos. And I'll say it again, you should really create a cookbook!
Can you really control your feelings? I allow myself to feel them, and not dwell in them..still a work in progress. I love cooking too, very relaxing. You live in a very beautiful area, love the snow and all the ducks. Happy New Year
God Bless you and thank you for your uplifting video. I lost my mother-in-law last week and have been in a dark place. Please pray for me. I know she is in heaven with Jesus. But don't know why I'm still so sad.
.....have a beautiful day. ...and you will have a beautiful day. At the end of each day. When you look back. You've sown into the day. Peace promoting, joy promoting, health enhancing...... activities. Those simple, everyday activities. Prayer, a gentle stroll, empowering reading, surveying the beauty of the outside world, time in silence, ..... They become sources of strength in calm times as well as in turbulent times.
Thank you for your input. For me, I needed to choose happiness. I needed to look at the beauty in the world, not the ugly. I needed to notice the positive instead of the negative. I needed to make a choice to be a happier person.
@@ConnieRiet Of course , who wants to be sad or unhappy ? My point is that surely we need to be open to any feeling that may arise ? To be authentic and have self ownership of our feelings …..to BE with whatever may come. To see it as valid and important to understand . If it is sadness then could it be telling us how much we love ? How profound we are ? How much something meant to us ? So ….it’s actually a gift , if we can reflect on it , with compassion ? If we wish something was not part of us ….to feel sad , surely we split or cut off that part of us ….We diminish in some way ?
I hope this video brings you joy and positivity!

what a bunch of bullshit! It's all about add revinue you collect on youtube!
All that really matters in life is that when you look in the mirror you see a nice soul, everything else is just noise.
Well said!

Someone once said the secret to happiness is freedom and the secret to freedom is courage. You appear to have found both
Thank you for such a lovely compliment!

@@ConnieRiet Thank you.
Compare and Despair! Comparing myself with others is a form of self neglect!
I found happiness in the back seat of my first car. Then I bought a van and I was really, really happy. Great video!!!!!
Connie, Thank You for putting your camera along with your heart and soul in such very beautiful places.
Dear Connie , I enjoy your way of expressing yourself so much, blessings always for you and your family, a big hug 🙏💕🥰🤗

Beautiful and inspiring. Thanks so much Connie, I always love when I can start my day to one of your uplifting videos. And I'll say it again, you should really create a cookbook!

I don't think I can control my feelings. If I feel bad it's a sign that something is wrong and I dig deeply to see what's going on in my heart.🥰
I get so much from all your videos.. BUT this particular one was exactly what I needed to listen to today.❤
May God continue to bless both you and your husband ♥️

God Bless you and thank you for your uplifting video. I lost my mother-in-law last week and have been in a dark place. Please pray for me. I know she is in heaven with Jesus. But don't know why I'm still so sad.
I can't control if I am experiencing happiness, but I can control my intentions.
Yes, it is kind of a decision... Thank you for reminding me.
What did you make while baking?
I made pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting. They are delicious.
Really loving your videos. Like that you have included pieces of your life with hubby. Very sweet. Peace n love to you both.

Random question but how do you keep your brown sugar so soft❓❔
Love this video. ❤ thank you
My mother told me to always keep it sealed tightly. I don't know if that actually works, but it seems to work.
@@ConnieRiet Thank you so much 😊
A beautiful film, but “ I decided I didn’t want to be sad anymore …..” Mmmh ? I’m not sure if this is the most helpful sentence ……

Hi l am from Malaysia can l be your friend
Just starting to streamline my home. Love your videos. I'm from Cache Valley and your mountains and scenery remind me of this area. ❄️🏔️
I find happyness all the time without having to post an add laiden video!
Happiness is not something you find. It's in you or it's not. You decide. Happiness lifts people up rather than put them down.
