10 Things I Can't Live Without! My Life Over 65

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

You can't miss this one! Haircare, skincare....Beauty, mind, arm exercises, music, and Desi... I talk about 10 things I can't live without...things that helped me when I was down. I list things that help so much with our spirit and mental health at any age..but especially for us over 65.
It was a fun week and took you along to thrift stores, summer walks, and looking at the women who raised me and taught me how to survive love, heartbreak, and failure. And they taught me that when we turn our sorrow outward and pour it into art, life is so much sweeter. I talk about how women internalize anger and sorrow and for us to find a way to live free and let all of that emotion out is a very good thing.
Thank you so much for being with me here and if you get time let me know down below some of your very favorite things!
My love to you always and always,
Susan & Desi
Video Of Cheri Blum After Her Tragic Death - • Cheri Blum
Our uniqueness makes us special and makes perception valuable - but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being 'alone': You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I'm talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are.

PATTY GRIFFIN: FIVE ESSENTIAL RICKIE LEE JONES SONGS
wfuv.org/content/patty-griffi...
There's just one thing before I go
You are the sweetest boy I know
I've lived my whole life in the past
I awoke last night at last
You hurt me bad this time
You nearly tore me from my mind
Before I knew I had been hurt
She laid her hair across your shirt
She laid her hair upon your shirt...

    Your story about Desi peeing in that mans shoe made me laugh. My little rescue dog Romeo would do the same thing..he's something I could never live without but I know that one day I will have to. That brings me to saying something to The Little Poet community that I hope doesn't bring everyone down.. On New Years Eve I wrote a comment saying how I was on night shift looking after a lovely 95 year old gentlemen with dementia and how we had sung together and how bittersweet it was. I received many replies to my comment. But tonight I am on night shift here in England sitting by David's bedside as he lay waiting to pass away.He suddenly became unwell last week and unfortunately will not recover. He hasn't eaten or drunk in 11 days and is in a semi coma. I am sitting with him to hopefully give him comfort and to watch for any change in his breathing. Unless the inevitable happens I will be here until the daytime carer takes over at 6.30am. Strangely as I often watch your latest video uploads while I'm here with David I feel your almost kind of here with me now and that feels wonderful at nearly 3am in this weird scenario know have friends rooting for us. How poignant to think I will surely never see him again as my next shift isn't until Wednesday night and God willing his suffering will have finished by then.

    I have a story tonight. It is about a special women in my life. Or she was. Today is 2 years since she was hit on her bike by a driver. She was one of my best friends for 52 years. Her husband told the women that he did not want any money from insurance. All he wanted was for her to write an article in the newspaper telling about driveing and not paying attention where you are going. so her daughter sent me the newspaper article today from this women. It was quite long and it had a picture of my friend Kay in the corner. I am not sure when I will come to terms with the loss. But the memories are to many to count. I think the friendship of women are very powerful. Never talk, never hug, again. thanks Joyce

    Dear Susan, I discovered your videos and have to tell you how much you have helped me. I lost my husband of 50 years on September 16 to Parkinson’s and a hemorrhagic stroke. I loved, still love him so much and am struggling. Our marriage wasn’t always an easy one, he was a heavy drinker until he realized that he had Parkinson’s disease. He stopped drinking because his doctor told him that he had to because it was killing him. He became a completely different person after that. He became a kinder, gentler and more loving husband. I know that he always loved me with his whole heart but was struggling with his addiction. This is so very hard to write. I rescued a little dog, Teddybear, when we were going through a terrible time. I feel that God sent him to me when I needed a friend in my life. He was so precious and my constant companion and dearest friend. He was my 8 lb. “Body dog”. He thought he was a “Rottweiler “ and would try to protect me from anyone and anything that he thought might hurt me. At first he didn’t like my husband and the feeling was mutual. He would bark when anyone came into the room where I was and was suspicious of all men. Over time he and my husband became friends though. ❤ Teddybear lived with us for 17 years and I thought I would die if anything were to happen to him but he got a horrible incurable cancer and we did lose him. By that time my husband and I were dealing with his illness and our days were filled with doctor visits and treatments. We were just trying our best to live and love each other each day and we thought we were doing fine or at least the best that we could. During this time we also lost our precious elderly cats, one right after the other, due to natural causes. They were also around 17 years. I was just broken and I know he was also. By this time my husband must have known that he was getting worse and was worried about my being alone because he bought a little puppy , another Papillon, for me. We named him “Bandit” because he has a mask on his face and Bandit quickly found his way into our family and into our hearts. My husband loved him so much. Time passed and my husband would have moments when he didn’t know who I was and wondered what I had done to his wife. Haha oh well. He had so much pain, his back, his neck and was having problems with walking. My heart breaks just thinking about it. Still, he was trying his best and I have to say that he was happy as was I and we were doing fine. Just living day to day and dealing with the problems of the disease as best as we could. One day he said that he thought we needed to get a kitten and we started looking. We had always had “Maine Coons”. A few months later he bought two and we brought them home. They were so much fun and brought so much joy to us during our very sad lives. Now, they, Lexi and Cali are over a year old and Bandit is three. We were a happy family! My husband had his stroke on Easter Sunday when we were getting ready to go to church. Covid had happened and we had been mostly staying at home because of our ages, we were both 73 years old, and were afraid of catching the disease. After a long stay at the hospital, we were able to bring him home. He had 24 hour care with a feeding tube. He couldn’t swallow and was confined to a hospital bed. We tried, he tried so hard to get better but the disease wouldn’t allow him. He was home for three months. The night that he passed keeps playing over and over in my mind. My husband of 50 years is gone and I don’t know how to go on without him. He was my life. I’m trying but it’s really hard.

I took baby steps but just made my bedroom into a glorious fairy,s grotto my husband says I collected pretties too. I have turned my bedroom I to such a peaceful beauty. I am so at peace in it now. My little twinkle lights,flowers, stones . Getting products, wearing makeup again, laughing, joking taking care of myself. I am so happy Susan. Thank you for all the help you have given me. I am becoming me again. The stress is leaving. I just feel so good. I have projects to do now. I am alive again. I can't thank you enough. Blessings and love to you and Dizi.

    Your little Desi is awesome!!!! Years ago I had a little White curly dog that I adopted and she loved everybody. One night I invited a man that I was semi dating to my apartment and my little white dog would not stop barking at him. She had never barked at anyone before. So I took that as a sign that he was not the one I should be hanging out with. I finally told him he would have to leave and then my little dog and I sat on the couch and laughed and I loved that little dog who showed me the right way to go!

Too many to count. And I dont know how to live without my dog either. ..... I lost a lot in the past decade, so much so it nearly killed me. in-fact, Im just now beginning to recover. Ladies, if you have a small prayer Id appreciate one. ( love you Susan! )

    My little dog is a pound puppy who is full of anxiety. She won't let me out of her sight, I have to crate her to run errands, she hates riding in the car. She howls pitifully when I'm gone. She won't let anyone pet her but me. When I first brought her home, I wasn't sure I could keep her. My grandson who was twelve said, "No, Grandma, you are not giving this little dog up just because, no you can't." He was right. Its been three years now. I love her so!

    I can't live without gardening. I need @ least 1/2 acre. I see that land as a canvas on which to create and nurture. The digging, raking, weeding, shoveling allow my mind to wander while my body works. I also need to buy and restore homes. I love to search for a private, secluded diamond in the rough and nurture it back to life. I love deep diving into the backgrounds of people who touch me. I spent 6 years reading every book, listening to albums etc of Prince. Elvis is another favorite; also loved Joni. Now I'm learning everything I can about football as I love Aaron Rodgers (his talent). Really love your channel-I could tell you were an artist.

What care I for a frown Or a worldly snicker. I have songs to be sung That is what I fight for, I have beauty on my tongue to Thrill and to delight for. What care I, if the world Cannot comprehend me, I know where the rose unfurled Will comfort and defend me. -- SNJ Susan I love your videos because they are filled with the poetry of living. And forging forward when perhaps it would be easier to just sit back and hide out. You are brave.

One day when getting out of the shower and putting on body lotion, I decided I was going to put it on my wet hair too. It was St. Ive's Shea butter and oatmeal body lotion - ON MY HAIR TO THE ENDS. VOILA! No more frizzies. The only thing that worked. I share it with you and all.

I also often feel lonely and worried about the future as I am on my own. Terrible things going on in Europe at the moment also keep me awake at night. You make me realise it is OK to feel like this and that there is something you can do about negative emotions to make you feel better, even if it is just for a while. I thank you for that. Xx On a happier note, I can't live without my black rescue cat Yasu. He is my best friend. Also, I am ashamed to say it, but I couldn't live without my TV. I am a bit addicted (bad, I know).

On asking him to get us both to make a list of things that upset us about each other, He replied he didn't need to do that as there was only one thing about me that stressed him out. It was, in his words, Barbara Streisand! When I asked him why he said I lost myself in her. I truly believe she and her music helped me to keep going so fully understand where you are coming from regarding your strong women artists. As usual thank you fir your thoughtful and thought provoking video.
