I love your videos. I am 71 quickly approaching 72 and I go for long walks, dig in my garden, taking care of my vegetables and my flowers. Luckily, and thank you God I still feel good at this age I don’t feel my age at all so far.

I am 73 approaching 74. Nearly 3/4 of a century. I live alone and enjoy walking with my dog. Unfortunately my dogs are also seniors. 1 died suddenly last month, and my remaining girl is showing signs of life coming to an end. I was fortunate enough to have a remote work from home job that ended in March. Have not find another yet but keep trying. Must admit sometimes it takes all the strength I have to keep going forward

@@audreymaqks I just turned 75, my partner passed a year and a half ago. I can still keep an organized, neat and tidy home, do my own yard work (on a quarter acre lot) in the desert southwest where it's hot as heck right now. I've done most of the yard work for the last 40 years and I attribute that for my good health, keeping active is key. I wish I could have a dog, but the price of veterinary care on a fixed income scares me, and I refuse to have a pet that I can't maintain properly. Have a great day!

​​@@AZHITW I only have my SS retirement plus an occasional remote work from home job. My dogs are my best companions and give me reason to keep pushing forward. Although I am mostly on a fixed income my pets are given excellent care. I do not subscribe to cable, I have window ac and only cool the parts of the house I use (live near Houston TX where it gets very hot and humid) to not even turn the ac on until the outside temp gets near 90. This is how I am able to maintain keeping my pets. It is a personal choice. I live a minimal lifestyle but my pets are on top of the list.❤ ❤

We've all matured and know what that means. Watching you gives me hope and I understand all the nuances of 50 year Olds and seniors. Hey we're here let us be here for as long as we can. Let us enjoy each other's company. ❤❤

Thank you! You gave me the courage to start my channel

Hi Jen. You are an inspiration. I am in my 60s (how did that happen) and am trying to build up the courage to take the plunge into retirement. I would also love to have a go at documenting some of my journey going forward on KZread. I have done the easy part. I have set up a channel. Now I just need to pluck up the courage to record a video. I am off to Croatia on Tuesday for a four day trip. I hope it will give me the inspiration and context to produce my first effort. Thank you for your channel 👍

Thank you so much for what you share with us. I am grateful and find so much pleasure and affirmation in all that you have shared about being silver and solo. Thank you, Jen, thank you.

Hi Sister, I so love the message you convey in words, more so I loved the walk with you and your doggie. This walk amidst nature is truly the higgest healer. You have wonderful energy❤ God Bless you on your journey🙏☕

I started a channel at 43 and did one video that got a few negative comments and another big channel discussing it. I’ll keep going. We won’t be for everyone. Love the dog walks. I have 10 dogs and pick up my 11 Sunday. Her name is Hazel and she’s a rescue from Texas. I can’t wait to meet her. 😊

I don't really know how I found your channel but then discovered the KZread monetization videos! I watched those and have been encouraged and inspired by you! I have also begun enjoying your oldest videos and these Sunday walks. Thank you so much for the calm and peace you bring, along with light humor, interesting information, and a wonderful example for thriving.

I love taking "virtual" walks with you! Thank you for the shout-out, and I am thrilled for you that your Patreon group is growing!

I love watching all your videos. I especially love your Sunday walk videos with sweet Skye and her little bell. I have mobility challenges and can no longer take walks like that so it feels like I am really there walking on the path. Thank you so much for the lovely soothing way you shoot the videos.

Holy wow on All those comments! So amazing! I love to hear that! I’ve had my channel a year now and I don’t get negative comments however I also have under 500 subs so most my comments are from loyal viewers who are always so kind! What a beautiful and relaxing walk. I love the sounds of nature, the earth beneath your feet sounds and the dog bell.

We silver people definitely need to populate KZread more! I have a faceless channel that just got monetized but I’m about to start a new channel about my life as an expat in Guatemala and sharing my thoughts in general. You have inspired me, I will be filming a lot of city walks. Too bad I don’t have a dog. 🐶

I am in the Rocky Mountains and on Sunday I enjoy these walks with you. We have great trees also! They shelter squirrels, rabbits, critters. Fun! And peaceful. Have a blessed day! Best Wishes! Stalwart

I agree Jen, it would be good if more of our generation took the plunge and started channels to share their thoughts and experiences with others. I started my channel after the pandemic hit, and although it was hard work getting it started, and there was a lot to learn, it has turned out to be the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. The reason for that being the incredible positive feedback I get every day from people who are looking for companionship - my watercolor painting channel gives them not only support in their painting journey but also emotional support when they are feeling down. And like you, I have never had bitchy comments on my channel. Nor any real problems with spam. There is nothing to fear in starting a KZread channel. Just yesterday I was encouraging a friend who is a great artist and looking for a new direction in his life to seriously consider KZread as a way to have his paintings seen. Whatever your interest, no matter what your level of skill, there are many thousands of people out there who want to share it with you. I’m 70 and having the time of my life creating and sharing and helping people survive this mad world. Thanks for sharing your world too, from a fellow Canadian living in France 😊 Diane x

Lovely walk. Beautiful woods!

What a beautiful path to walk. I need to get up and out more. I find myself staying home most of the time and that really makes you feel lonely.

Im half your age and since ive seen one of your videos I'm totally inspired. Thank you so much!

What a beautiful and peaceful place to walk xx

Here we go, a Sunday morning walk in the woods. Im with you, vicariously, enjoying the trip. Its been so wet here in northern England its so good to get out. Thanks.❤

Oh that little bell!!

Your steady pace in the beauty of the morn is ever so lovely.

Thank you Jen. Wishing you the best. ❤ and what a difference in weather. Now it looks like spring or summer. Beautiful. I'm in Southeast Florida and the heat gets to be too much so many months.

I'm envious of both the beautiful spot you have to walk & your companion. I'm surrounded by corn & soybean fields. Hardly any trees because farm equipment is so large now they don't leave them. I had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to my 14yrold pup.

I have learned that it is great to solo . I will be solo for quite a while!!

I love your channel! Also, I couldn't agree more that we need more content made by people older than 45. We have so much to offer, and I'd enjoy seeing more content made by us. If you are older and starting a channel, please let me know

Really lovely video although I randomly called your dog Harry before I noticed that you gave us her name in the notes. 😅 I appreciated the ‘whoops’ moment too. That happens!

I wore my Bear Bell when I took a short walk on the Appalachian Trail 2 weeks ago and I thought of your sweet dog.

The 2 you mentioned that had negative comments, are just angry that someone else in this life has the gall to be happy, joyous & free. Don’t pay them any mind.

Girrrrrl, I'm in my 40's & not solo and still love your channel. Your videos make for great company. Maybe it's the female to female real talk that's comforting? I didn't have a mom and I miss my aunt's and grandparents dearly, so hearing a kind woman talk about life is a familiar soundtrack. I used to stream video games on Twitch years ago and even there, comments were more friendly than mean, but to only have 2 negative comments is amazing & telling! Glad you keep going, looking forward to watching more 🩷

I just found Elder Gal's channel. You might want to check it out. She's a little older than you (69 now) & lives in the states. I really appreciate the wisdom of other "mature ladies" who have come to embrace their singleness. I'll be honest, I have struggled over the past 10 years as a new single. A new relationship that I thought might be a thing did not turn out to be so. Listening to you & Allison "Elder Gal" has helped me to really see that I like having my own space & calling the shots for myself. Thanks for what you do on your channel!

P.S. it was fun to see my name scroll by on your gratitude list at the end of this video. Though it was spelled wrong, LOL. Not a biggie and not a criticism.
