Don’t get down Glenda, turn to scripture. “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:3. A lot of us are supporting your channel. We are here for you. ❤ God bless all you seniors out there living on social security. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your loved ones, friends and neighbors. There are a lot of good people out there willing to help.
Thank you for the beautiful scripture. I do realize that I need to spend more time reading my Bible when I get into feelings of despair. It's the best way to overcome sadness
Glenda, I think just having a roof over your head is a blessing. I see single women living in their car or on the street on YT. A lot of them are educated, have degrees. Thank God for whatever you may have, I pray He blesses you more. Btw, I lived with an alcoholic for 50years, it was the smoking that finally got him. God bless.🙏💕
Don't waste your time regretting anything. Put the past away, and just be grateful for all the joy in your life. Beautiful people and memories from your life are worth your time. Regrets are worthless.
I am 59. I have some regrets about my lack of preparedness for retirement. I want you to know that your videos helped me to get myself into gear and start saving. I figure that saving something is better than saving nothing at all. I don't a a big chunk saved, but I am saving. I have started a side hustle that I enjoy and it is beginning to build momentum. I am in the process of building another stream of income. I grow a lot of produce and that is not always easy in the Mojave Desert! I am also learning about herbs and natural remedies to help my husband and I if medications get too expensive. Your videos helped me. You (and Prepper Princess) have helped open my eyes and helped me to do the best I can with what all I have. Thank you so much! May God bring you all you need!
Hi Ms. Glenda, I had flu like symptoms back in Dec. 2023 with a severe cough. I did not even get sick with Covid during this whole time and was shocked. That cough lasted a good month. I hope you get better soon.
Glenda, we ALL have regrets and we ALL have to deal with the circumstances ! Lady pull your BIG GIRL Panties up, take a deep breath, and KNOW that if you came this far, you can handle anything !!!!! I live on SS, and have been recovering from covid since Xmas, I am 73 years old, and I realize that my life is a struggle and will not get any better........BUT.........there are people that have less. I do have a roof over my head, so do you......I have heat and AC, so do you........I do have food to eat, so do you........ what the hell are you crying for ???????? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, fell sorry for those whom have so much less......and PRAY for them !!!! You would be surprised how much better you would feel about yourself and your circumstances. Give it up, give it to GOD, and PRAY !
Sometimes we just get down. Worn down. Especially when ill we are a bit raw. Let’s be supportive (not enabling) and encourage vs a call to be stronger when are sick and can’t be.
Ladybug12150......Everything you say is so true. So many of us dwell on the negative and fail to see all the positive around us! God Bless you and your positive grateful attitude!❤
Oh Glenda I feel for you so much. I do think we tend to get down mentally when our physical selves aren’t well. I can get into a deep depression when I’m not feeling good. And I know all of our problems, situations and pasts in life are different, but please know we sympathize with you and are praying you have better tomorrows. ❤
This reminds me of what I was just thinking about single seniors. People don’t realize how hard some things are. I think the biggest thing is when you are sick. A phone call is nice. But do people call every day? Most don’t. It’s hard to cook when you are sick. We need more than a one time dish drop off. This is why ill seniors end up hospitalized-they stop eating because they can’t cook. Glad to see Glenda was able to fill the crockpot. We need to PRIORITIZE our seniors. They won’t complain so please just help them. Hugs Glenda…
one half to 2/3 mug of hot water, add one tablespoon of honey, and one to two tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well & sip on while still quite warm until gone. (microwave if you need to, to sip while it's very warm) Definitely helps to sooth throat and stop coughing, or slow it down a lot. [[I grew up with this "concoction" & it is a gem!!]] ♡
I worked at a mine and 1400 men were all coughing and the medics had run out of all meds they could give for the cough. One guy remembered his grandma's remedy for coughs honey, warm water and lemon juice! That mixture was what got us through a tough two weeks.
Living alone with a sustained illness gets scary the longer the illness does not subside, Glenda. Too much alone time feeling poorly makes the mind wander...The What if this? Or, What if that? happens. We've all been there in one way or another, dear one! I know I have!!! Right now, you have a very impaired immune system, whatever the diagnosis is, your immune system is waivering, and that needs to be medically addressed...and, it will be. When you get the correct diagnosis and treatment plan, all the negativity, regrets and wondering about what could have been will subside...It's just plain hard to be sick for as long as you have been. The tide will turn...
Glenda I hope you feel better soon. I know you have been dealing with this for a long time off and on. Then depression creeps in. I can certainly understand that. I think as we get older we just automatically start reminiscing about the past and what we could have done differently. I know I have been lately. All of a sudden a person I hadn’t thought about for a long time or an event just pops into my head now. My three daughters have their own families and love us, but we never want to be a burden to them. They love us, but they don’t want to take care of an old man and woman. I don’t want them too. Plus they work hard to shelter and feed their families. I don’t want them to spend their money on us. That’s not fair. I’ve worked in a few assisted living jobs and with Alzheimers units. No thank you. I’ve seen how some CNAs treat those seniors. Just rude and have no time for them. I know there’s lots of good ones too. But that life is not what I want. You give up all of your familiar things to live there. No thanks. I’ll just let the good Lord handle it for me. In his time.
Our mistakes in life doesn't define who we are now,we learn as we grow older that God has given us grace,more wisdom,I'm sorry you don't feel well,you are a beautiful person,honesty about past mistakes actually is a beautiful thing,I've learned to forgive and forgive myself,your soup looks delicious,we all have some days we just feel more down than other days,but just remember you are awesome,you are beautiful,and your are loved,love Faith📝🧸🤍💗
My regret is not preparing for myself while being married. I’m divorced 2 times. I have nothing. They have everything . I’m having to live separately from my current husband taking care of my schizophrenic son. He can’t take it. It’s tough! Prices are terrible.
Aww Glenda, sure hope you getter better soon. It's been so long. We all have regrets about things we've done or haven't done. We can't change the past but we can try and make the current as good as we can especially at our age there isn't much we can do about financial stuff now.
You should find a couple of food shelf’s and get extra food thru the month, I have to do this just to make ends meet thru the month. I know your area has free food programs even thru some church’s have food shelf or pantry’s
I love your stories about real life on social security. I have shared your channel to all my friends. I am praying you get more subscribers. I want the very best for you.
Praying that you get better or if you need to go be seen about I hope you can go just as soon as you can. There’s not a one of us that can’t say we don’t have regrets in this life. We all have made mistakes in man’s eyes, one might seem greater than the other, but if we’ve seen in God‘s eyes, it’s all the same so we’re all equal.
We are on our third week of the virus. It is getting better but the cough persists. Hubby had blood in the whites of his eyes from coughing so hard. Drink lots of fluids. Take hour multi bit and an elderberry gummy. Try to eat well. We made simple noodle soup, jello, and veggie soup. Take care. .
what is this virus? i have had it 3 weeks, finally stopped coughing. The doctor said "viral" and prescribed no drugs at all.....i toughed it out. The cough was miserable. And scary ! No pneumonia tho.
@@glendasully you too, Glenda, I didn't find out what this really was but it took a good 3 weeks and I am weak from it still. The dr said it was a virus. Did you take a covid test at any point ? He told me i took my tests "too early" and told me to take one after four or five days....however, i did not bother to do that....i just don't know why but i figured i would slowly get better. I used hot water, or tea, with honey and lemon. Get some fresh air, it helps. Also you need to rest a lot.
Awww Miss Glenda. Sadly, we can’t change the past. We need to live in the moment & look forward to the future. I also have regrets however there is nothing I can do to change them. I have so much to live for & am blessed in so many ways. Xo
I hope you get better soon! My sister gets like you and has had a cough for months now. Dr gave her prednisone but not that inhaler. I would love to see you in that cute pixie haircut you used to wear, it looked very good on you!
Hi Glenda New To Your Channel.. I know The Feeling of How We Barley Make It. I will Be Praying For You. IM From Texas. GOD BLESS YOU. I Think We Will All Be Suffering In The Near Future. ❤❤❤
I have been watching for a long time. Please dont feel bad. I am sorry u been sick so long. You help so.much with your grandchildren ❤ you Please heal her Lord
Glenda-- Have you thought about making a little cookbook? You are a great cook and use interesting ingredients and methods a lot. I think many of your subscribers would purchase a small simple cookbook they could. purchase directly from you. It could even be available as an e-cookbook or pamphlet
Glenda have you been checked for RSV? My daughter became very ill and her asthma became out of control come to find out she had RSV and was hospitalized close to being but on a ventilator. I wish you well
Hi Glenda, I hope you feel better soon. Sending a big Vitural hug your way. Remember, no matter what you're through, the Lord is by your side. Love you Glenda ❤
I'm hoping and praying that you will be feeling better soon.🙏🏽 Your chicken soup looks delicious.😋 Have a good rest of your Sunday evening my friend. 😊💖
Only look back to process your feelings so you can move forward with life. You can't relive it, so accept it. You can order your food online and get it delivered to your door. When you are sick it is hard not to go deep into your emotions.
Hi Glenda, the soup looks delicious. Your refrigerator is empty. Wow 😮! Have you been too sick to go to the groceries? Sometimes we get melancholy 😞 and have regrets. Should’ve would’ve, but the past is the past. You made decisions not only for you, but for your children’s happiness and wellbeing. You were a wonderful mother!! You did the best you could. Live in the moment. What I see is a strong woman who faced the world as a single divorced woman and you made it work the best you could. You, today, inspire me to face the world everyday and to move forward. Thank you 🙏.
Miss G make a sweat lodge out of your bathroom. Let your shower steam up and put toilet lid down and sit there and sweat it out. Also good for the sinuses. Your soup looks great! Stay positive it’ll get better🌷💕
I like the way you set the camera up, on a distance tripod, as this morning I got up, I and swept the soil from the plants that the cats had scattered all over the living room floor while I slept (I'm cat sitting at my son's place in piacenza). As I was rather naked while I did it, and hadn't taken my shower yet... thankfully, no cameras running there. (Sorry, but I thought I'd make you laugh, listen have Jill get that AlicinC for you to take, it'll make a world of difference, and see your doctor.) ❤️
I live in a small northern town of 2,000 people in Arizona. We have a food program called Food Share that I get once a month at our elementary school. Do they have something like that in your area? .
You couldn't change him - don't regret it, you did the Right thing. At least you live in Safety & Peace. Your daughter and family would not want him treating you that way
The best way to overcome regrets is to quit repeating the things that cause those regrets. There are videos on youtube showing how to make your money last all month. Frugal Fit Mom in a great one. It won't include luxuries like take out food, take out coffee, lots of snacks and high priced meats, but the take out things are totally unnecessary and bad for us anyway. Things are likely to get worse before they get better. Now is the time for you to buckle down and make smarter choices, for your own well- being. Only YOU can change you.
Hi Glenda We all have regrets in life & question the past but don't let it get you down. We can't change our past but can make sure our future is better. You are always thankful & remember your blessings & that's survival. I think you are a beautiful person & you have helped me through your videos. I pray you start to feel better & life keeps you staying positive. ☮💜 from Wisconsin
71 and single here living off of Social Security. We have all felt like you feel. Is there an answer for this? I don't know. I do know though that you are getting through every month. You are making it and a SS payment will come soon which will ease some of the pressure you're feel right now. Do your best ability place your focus on what you have and not what you want or you don't have. It is especially hard to go through times like these in the winter when the days are gray and you feel horrible and it just takes forever for another 24 hours to pass by. I spend 20 hours of every day in bed so I do know what I'm talking about. As to your health, you do probably need to see a doctor again. I would probably see my reg doctor that I like and press this upon him… You need a breakthrough relief prescription. Sometimes all that is over-the-counter drugs. You are strong enough to deal with, your life as it is now but it is especially hard because you are compromised by illness. Can you go to the library and maybe find a couple books on growing vegetables indoors? Also, you can regrow a lot of vegetables from the vegetables you bring home from the grocery store, such as onions and celery, from the tops etc. I suggest this because one always feels better when times are hard if we're doing something positive as opposed to just trying to hold on tightly. It's super hard to be alone and be tight on money and have food deprivation scares while still staying positive and upbeat. Boy that is hard. All that said a hundred percent I know that you've got what it takes to do that. In order to move forward you need a boost in your healthcare. It's not happening the way it is now and it's dragging you down and destroying all your dreams of doing better. That doesn't make you special that just makes you normal. You are going through a hard time that anyone normal would struggle with. If you ask your daughter, for anything, ask her if she would pay for you to go to the doctor as a loan. Then you can pay her back once a month over three months or something like that. Will that be hard on her financially? Maybe. Could be. But I know 100% she will want to help you out. She's a good daughter to you. You need just a pinch of help and a little extra care and then something to concentrate on that is about going forward instead of holding on to the backwards slide. Sending you a lot of love. Maybe a theme you could pick up now and then would be how to stretch a little bit of food into a big pot of something or other. Certainly, our grandmothers knew those recipes. Sending you a lot of love, dear friends. You are very strong woman and I believe in you. Don't forget that the Bible says you have not because you ask not so stay tuned in there and ask and ask and ask for what you need not in big sweeps, but in little tiny things that you need and watch Jesus show up. Get to the doctor ASAP. I'll be watching the channel and praying for your recovery.
Hi Glenda. I know how crummy it is when you are struggling financially. I’m so sorry that you are not feeling well. My Husband and I had that darn cough for over a month! Bits something going round right now. Lean on the Lord and his grace and strength will carry you . ❤
Love you Glenda, I always share hope everyone will Like, Share and Follow you to get the money you deserve and need!! God Bless & feel better soon 🙏♥️🙏 Patricia
I made a lot of mistakes also . My ex was in the Navy and he was very abusive . So I live on SS also . I feel like I should have put up with it . Because he is doing much better than me . Glenda have you applied for his SS . If you were married for more than 10 years and even though you are divorced and he is remarried doesn’t matter. You are eligible to get his SS instead of your own if his SS was more even if he was remarried. Call SS and inquire about it . Doesn’t hurt to ask . Also I believe you should go get rechecked. You are not getting any better.
I'll most likely go to my PCP tomorrow. My ex didn't work much. He was drunk most of his life & got fired from every job & would stay unemployed. I get a small pension & his wife gets part of it
I know you'll be so much happier when you get well. Illness and/or fatigue can really make you sick emotionally. I've got some doozies of regrets myself. But God, in His mercy, always let's me know I'm loved despite all of my mistakes and sins. You don't know it, but you are a good friend of mine. You really help with the loneliness. We have so much in common.
Bless your heart! We see how sick you are and its concerning to us all because we love you! I understand even tho i have a wonderful husband but when youre trying to help one of your children and grandson its hard! Paycheck to paycheck 😢but Gods got us! Ues, we could have done better but hindsight and looking back i probably would have done nothing different. We'll make it hun, hang in there!! Praying for you ❤
Although I live on my SS alone and my fridge is most of the time empty I still am blessed to have a roof over my head and it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer and my car is 16 yrs old have the up keep of that money money money goes to up keep it but still bless to have it I also at times look back on my live and say to myself what happened where did I go wrong..but Glenda we are NOT alone the Lord has us to go down the path that we are on for a reason we may not know that reason until the end but I would rather go down this path with the Lord than ask my children for money or even have a YT channel because for me that would be like begging and my soul just can't do that please don't feel as you are alone your not be blessed not stressed it is hard trust and believe 💯 I know where you are at in your life but go forward and look back no more 🙏
Also Glenda I think there might be a Para transit that can come by and give you rides wherever you need to go and maybe they don't charge too much cause it's for seniors and ppl with disabilities that way you would save on gas and oil and wear and tare on tires it maybe worth checking out and hope you get to feeling better soon God Bless🙏🙏
Our generation didn't think we would live so long etc. I didn't do a 401 k. Nobody told me that this was t supplement 20% of a full.salary. so.since I didn't move up 80% is not enough. $176 Medicare and $200 for 2nd health ins. So few of us planned right. Even those that did are still not retiring!
Glenda i would give anything to have my mother she passed dec 3rd 2023, i wanted her to come and live with me and hubby, i wanted to have her here with me in texas, i would do all the cooking but it did not work out that she would come to texas. She was living in a condo in virginia. She was 97 and the best mom. I am sorry you have to live on your own, I lived in texas while momma was in va. I so did not like she was alone, i called her 6 times daily. Jill i know has her family but you need help being sick and needing money. My mom did not want to intrude with me and hubby. But i so wanted her to live here so i could take care of her, she was of sound mind, listen consider for jill to possible have a home nurse to come and help you while your sick that can cook and just help around your place, call a place for momma, that is the name of an agency to help you. Jill can see how much it would be so you can still live in. Your home. This is dixie from texas. You are very sickly and it has been going to long. Just sayin.
Hi Glenda. Sorry you are not feeling well. I've been sick for over 2 weeks. Congestion, coughing, runny nose, bad crud. I finally took some Delsym 12 hour OTC, it really helped. I stayed hydrated. Drank a lot of herbal tea. Used Vicks too. Praying you get better soon.🙏
Oh lord Glenda, It sounds like we have a lot in common. I am 63. Almost 64 my bday is in a few weeks. I too am divorced and disabled. My ssi check is only 943.00 a month and I get 152.00 in foodstamps a month. And I could really use make this work if I could find a way to make 300. a month income.. but Being on assistance I have always been told to report any other income to the social security office and to the foodstamp office. And I get help on my rent. I have a 2 bedroom apt because I qualify for a live in care taker. I have been on a walker since 2017. From a failed back surgery. And I am on oxygen 24-7. Copd stage 4. Are you on oxygen? It sounded like you have an upper respiratory problem? I hope you feel better soon!!!! I live on the gulf coast. In MS. And I have a daughter and grandchildren in Louisiana. I am thinking about transferring my housing over to Louisiana and let my daughter help me to find a home or apt. They have some really nice apartments for ppl our age and for our pocketbooks. Somebody recently told me that the government can see our PayPal , cash app, chimes, Zelle all of those… and Just be careful and mindful. I would hate it if you got cut off because of a donation. Do you mind explaining how TH-cam works? How long does it take to get a check from yt? I am super interested!!! If I could work I sure would!!! I would love to go volunteer even.. but nobody wants to look at a disabled crippled old woman.. I don’t drive anymore because I can’t afford to. Not with insurance every month… so I walk to the Walmart near my apt. Because the Walmart grocery delivery is charging for the weight sometimes, and I just don’t have it. So on my walker and with my oxygen I still get out and walk over to Walmart and walk back home. I sure do understand times are hard. They were worse when I was with my ex husband. He was a severe alcoholic and I’m sure you already know how horrible that was. It sounds like you too were married to one of those. And I have suffered thru the loss of my child my only son when he was 17. I will be following you Glenda. If you live nearby I would love to meet you. Do you ever go play bingo? I don’t. But I think I’m going to go try that soon. I too could really use a lil extra every month. Take care of yourself 🌺🌺🌺
It sounds like you have a great life story to tell. That's how I started my channel in 2017. I have a playlist of my early childhood stories. I encourage you to watch videos on how to start a YT channel. The videos will show you how. It's super easy but you'll need a smartphone or camera to record on & a laptop or access to a computer to set up your account. I started my channel in Oct. 2017 & got my first check in Dec. 2018.
I think that because you’re not feeling well and that tends to make a person feel down and then look back on life. You’re perfect the way you are❤❤❤ Keeping you in prayer for healing of your health.
Pray that you get well soon you can go get free food and the food you buy will help you you have to stop looking back a keep going i am 67 living on social security to thank God you have your apartment God bless you ❤🙏
I pray you get to feeling better soon. I know how low you must feel being ill for so long. It surely takes a toll on the body and mind. Hang in there ❤💪🏼
You can't try harder with someone who for whatever reason wraps his hands around your neck. Ever.😡🥰🥰 Praying for you and greatfull for you sharing your experiences.🥰🤧🥰🙏🏻
Glenda,I have been watching you forquite some time.i.rarely comment,however I am only halfway through and I feel so.bad that you have so little food and you obviously are struggling. Jill is very Blessed to.have ypur support in caring for your grandchildren. Let me tell you.that many grandmother's are as committed as you are!!! And please know that all.of us have regrets.As a Christian, be assured that GOD doesn't remember your regrets!! He Loves YOU!! please continue to give yourself time to get better,and know that you are Loved and Appreciated!!!!😉🙏
Glenda, don’t worry about what happened in the past. You can’t change the past, and you will never be able to change the past. Worry about what happens in the future. What’s happening right now. Maybe when you start feeling better and the weather warms up, you and Jill and the kids and hubby can go on a picnic to a park somewhere or to a museum or somewhere just to get out for the day. It will lift your spirits. Never say never. I’m sure she loves to get out with the kids as much as you would. Have a great day. Put your stress in the Lord. May God bless you always Handed over to God. He will take care of you in one way or another.
I watched another video of yours just a few minutes ago where you gave your expenses. I am not familiar with your entire situation but I was confused as to why your rent takes most of your Social Security check? Most senior apartments use 30% of your gross income. Is it different where your live? Could you get subsidized rent? Maybe you already have. I hope that you are feeling better!
The North Hempstead Housing Authority built these units with a special Tax Exempt grant from HUD. They are not part of HUD Section 8 housing (33% of income). The rent is based on the Area Median Income for this area of Long Island, NY. My rent is approximately 1/2 of my income.
Don’t get down Glenda, turn to scripture. “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:3. A lot of us are supporting your channel. We are here for you. ❤ God bless all you seniors out there living on social security. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your loved ones, friends and neighbors. There are a lot of good people out there willing to help.
Thank you for the beautiful scripture. I do realize that I need to spend more time reading my Bible when I get into feelings of despair. It's the best way to overcome sadness
God bless you Glenda to get better. I’m praying for you💕💕
Glenda, I think just having a roof over your head is a blessing. I see single women living in their car or on the street on YT. A lot of them are educated, have degrees. Thank God for whatever you may have, I pray He blesses you more. Btw, I lived with an alcoholic for 50years, it was the smoking that finally got him. God bless.🙏💕
Don't waste your time regretting anything. Put the past away, and just be grateful for all the joy in your life. Beautiful people and memories from your life are worth your time. Regrets are worthless.
A very wise and much appreciated comment.
I totally agree and I needed to hear this as well. Perfectly said! ❤
I am 59. I have some regrets about my lack of preparedness for retirement. I want you to know that your videos helped me to get myself into gear and start saving. I figure that saving something is better than saving nothing at all. I don't a a big chunk saved, but I am saving. I have started a side hustle that I enjoy and it is beginning to build momentum. I am in the process of building another stream of income. I grow a lot of produce and that is not always easy in the Mojave Desert! I am also learning about herbs and natural remedies to help my husband and I if medications get too expensive. Your videos helped me. You (and Prepper Princess) have helped open my eyes and helped me to do the best I can with what all I have. Thank you so much! May God bring you all you need!
Hi Ms. Glenda, I had flu like symptoms back in Dec. 2023 with a severe cough. I did not even get sick with Covid during this whole time and was shocked. That cough lasted a good month. I hope you get better soon.
Glenda, we ALL have regrets and we ALL have to deal with the circumstances ! Lady pull your BIG GIRL Panties up, take a deep breath, and KNOW that if you came this far, you can handle anything !!!!! I live on SS, and have been recovering from covid since Xmas, I am 73 years old, and I realize that my life is a struggle and will not get any better........BUT.........there are people that have less. I do have a roof over my head, so do you......I have heat and AC, so do you........I do have food to eat, so do you........ what the hell are you crying for ???????? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, fell sorry for those whom have so much less......and PRAY for them !!!! You would be surprised how much better you would feel about yourself and your circumstances. Give it up, give it to GOD, and PRAY !
Sometimes we just get down. Worn down. Especially when ill we are a bit raw. Let’s be supportive (not enabling) and encourage vs a call to be stronger when are sick and can’t be.
Ladybug12150......Everything you say is so true. So many of us dwell on the negative and fail to see all the positive around us! God Bless you and your positive grateful attitude!❤
You are so right
It is sad how us senior citizens get a raise and it is barely enough to even notice
My raise was eaten up by an increase in liability insurance on my old Camry.
Oh Glenda I feel for you so much. I do think we tend to get down mentally when our physical selves aren’t well. I can get into a deep depression when I’m not feeling good. And I know all of our problems, situations and pasts in life are different, but please know we sympathize with you and are praying you have better tomorrows. ❤
This reminds me of what I was just thinking about single seniors. People don’t realize how hard some things are. I think the biggest thing is when you are sick. A phone call is nice. But do people call every day? Most don’t. It’s hard to cook when you are sick. We need more than a one time dish drop off. This is why ill seniors end up hospitalized-they stop eating because they can’t cook. Glad to see Glenda was able to fill the crockpot. We need to PRIORITIZE our seniors. They won’t complain so please just help them.
Hugs Glenda…
The soup turned out delicious even though I threw in everything. It'll last me all week & I'm so thankful to have it
I hope the crockpot concoction is nourishing to your body and soul. And sharing deep things is sometimes the only way to go. ❤❤❤❤❤
one half to 2/3 mug of hot water, add one tablespoon of honey, and one to two tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well & sip on while still quite warm until gone. (microwave if you need to, to sip while it's very warm) Definitely helps to sooth throat and stop coughing, or slow it down a lot. [[I grew up with this "concoction" & it is a gem!!]] ♡
I worked at a mine and 1400 men were all coughing and the medics had run out of all meds they could give for the cough. One guy remembered his grandma's remedy for coughs honey, warm water and lemon juice! That mixture was what got us through a tough two weeks.
I'm so glad y'all got better after drinking this great natural remedy
Living alone with a sustained illness gets scary the longer the illness does not subside, Glenda. Too much alone time feeling poorly makes the mind wander...The What if this? Or, What if that? happens. We've all been there in one way or another, dear one! I know I have!!!
Right now, you have a very impaired immune system, whatever the diagnosis is, your immune system is waivering, and that needs to be medically addressed...and, it will be. When you get the correct diagnosis and treatment plan, all the negativity, regrets and wondering about what could have been will subside...It's just plain hard to be sick for as long as you have been. The tide will turn...
Glenda I hope you feel better soon. I know you have been dealing with this for a long time off and on. Then depression creeps in. I can certainly understand that. I think as we get older we just automatically start reminiscing about the past and what we could have done differently. I know I have been lately. All of a sudden a person I hadn’t thought about for a long time or an event just pops into my head now. My three daughters have their own families and love us, but we never want to be a burden to them. They love us, but they don’t want to take care of an old man and woman. I don’t want them too. Plus they work hard to shelter and feed their families. I don’t want them to spend their money on us. That’s not fair. I’ve worked in a few assisted living jobs and with Alzheimers units. No thank you. I’ve seen how some CNAs treat those seniors. Just rude and have no time for them. I know there’s lots of good ones too. But that life is not what I want. You give up all of your familiar things to live there. No thanks. I’ll just let the good Lord handle it for me. In his time.
Our mistakes in life doesn't define who we are now,we learn as we grow older that God has given us grace,more wisdom,I'm sorry you don't feel well,you are a beautiful person,honesty about past mistakes actually is a beautiful thing,I've learned to forgive and forgive myself,your soup looks delicious,we all have some days we just feel more down than other days,but just remember you are awesome,you are beautiful,and your are loved,love Faith📝🧸🤍💗
My regret is not preparing for myself while being married. I’m divorced 2 times. I have nothing. They have everything . I’m having to live separately from my current husband taking care of my schizophrenic son. He can’t take it. It’s tough! Prices are terrible.
I hope you get disability for your son. Is a Board and Care home an option for him? 🙏
Aww Glenda, sure hope you getter better soon. It's been so long. We all have regrets about things we've done or haven't done. We can't change the past but we can try and make the current as good as we can especially at our age there isn't much we can do about financial stuff now.
At least your shoulder isn't the issue...
I was thinking about that too. I will always remember how Glenda toughed that out. Such resilience! And she’ll do it again with this. ❤
You should find a couple of food shelf’s and get extra food thru the month, I have to do this just to make ends meet thru the month. I know your area has free food programs even thru some church’s have food shelf or pantry’s
Great suggestion!
I am sending up prayers for you Glenda❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Is there a meals on wheels program for seniors that can do a dinner drop off once a day until you feel better?
I don't know. My soup will last all week & I have bread & eggs. I'm good
Poor Glenda, I really feel for you. Sending love and prayers xx
Glenda throw out your old toothbrush and get a new one. I do that if i get sick.
Yes, I always have extra tooth brushes . I change them out often. Especially when sick...
I love your stories about real life on social security. I have shared your channel to all my friends.
I am praying you get more subscribers. I want the very best for you.
You're so thoughtful. Thank you,Lynn
You have accomplished a lot and inspired so many to take action and live a life with purpose. Love your content.
Thank you so much!
Look how far you have come - you are very resourceful - take care of yourself
Thank you so much. It's good to hear from you today
Praying that you get better or if you need to go be seen about I hope you can go just as soon as you can. There’s not a one of us that can’t say we don’t have regrets in this life. We all have made mistakes in man’s eyes, one might seem greater than the other, but if we’ve seen in God‘s eyes, it’s all the same so we’re all equal.
We are on our third week of the virus. It is getting better but the cough persists. Hubby had blood in the whites of his eyes from coughing so hard. Drink lots of fluids. Take hour multi bit and an elderberry gummy. Try to eat well. We made simple noodle soup, jello, and veggie soup. Take care. .
what is this virus? i have had it 3 weeks, finally stopped coughing. The doctor said "viral" and prescribed no drugs at all.....i toughed it out. The cough was miserable. And scary ! No pneumonia tho.
I don't know what it is & I've had it about 7 weeks. I'm so sorry that you've been sick. Feel better soon
@@glendasully you too, Glenda, I didn't find out what this really was but it took a good 3 weeks and I am weak from it still. The dr said it was a virus. Did you take a covid test at any point ? He told me i took my tests "too early" and told me to take one after four or five days....however, i did not bother to do that....i just don't know why but i figured i would slowly get better. I used hot water, or tea, with honey and lemon. Get some fresh air, it helps. Also you need to rest a lot.
Awww Miss Glenda. Sadly, we can’t change the past. We need to live in the moment & look forward to the future. I also have regrets however there is nothing I can do to change them. I have so much to live for & am blessed in so many ways. Xo
So true
I hope you get better soon! My sister gets like you and has had a cough for months now. Dr gave her prednisone but not that inhaler. I would love to see you in that cute pixie haircut you used to wear, it looked very good on you!
we all learn from life and take it one day at a time
Thank you for your kindness
I know it’s so hard on you being alone and paying that high rent I agree with you I don’t like asking my son for help
❤ I pray for better days for you Glenda❤
Thank you
Hi Glenda New To Your Channel.. I know The Feeling of How We Barley Make It. I will Be Praying For You. IM From Texas. GOD BLESS YOU. I Think We Will All Be Suffering In The Near Future. ❤❤❤
Hello, I’m sorry you are feeling bad. We love you
I saw that video from Prepper Princess.!!
Feel better soon!
I love this series. I have a lot of regrets also. I can't live in the past, though.
Thank you so much, Judi
feel better soon 🙏🙏✨✨
Thank you
I have been watching for a long time. Please dont feel bad. I am sorry u been sick so long. You help so.much with your grandchildren
❤ you Please heal her Lord
Glenda-- Have you thought about making a little cookbook? You are a great cook and use interesting ingredients and methods a lot. I think many of your subscribers would purchase a small simple cookbook they could. purchase directly from you. It could even be available as an e-cookbook or pamphlet
Yes, I've thought about it but haven't had the time. It would be a fun project to do
Glenda have you been checked for RSV? My daughter became very ill and her asthma became out of control come to find out she had RSV and was hospitalized close to being but on a ventilator. I wish you well
So Sorry Glenda…thinking of you and sending hugs 😘🩷
Thank you
Hi Glenda, I hope you feel better soon. Sending a big Vitural hug your way. Remember, no matter what you're through, the Lord is by your side. Love you Glenda ❤
sorry you are so sick I hope some of your family can give you the comfort you knew.... It always makes people feel better.... praying
Doing my best to watch your videos, sometimes I can’t because no internet. But I do my best.
I love Prepper Princess! It’s a small world. I bet we are all part of a similar circle of channels that TH-cam suggests to us.
She's so sweet & is very kind & generous. I love her sweet dogs
I'm hoping and praying that you will be feeling better soon.🙏🏽 Your chicken soup looks delicious.😋 Have a good rest of your Sunday evening my friend. 😊💖
It just doesnt sound like you are getting better,much prayers!
It's been a very slow recovery
Keep doing videos like this you r loved by your people and they will help you
My Lord Glenda, Rest-Rest 2-28-2024, We all need Extra help @ times I try not to ask but sometimes we do ask🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
I'm doing that
Saw your video. That small humidifier looks like the one I have. Next to my bed. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you so much
Only look back to process your feelings so you can move forward with life. You can't relive it, so accept it. You can order your food online and get it delivered to your door. When you are sick it is hard not to go deep into your emotions.
Love you! ♥️🙏🏽
Hi Glenda, the soup looks delicious. Your refrigerator is empty. Wow 😮! Have you been too sick to go to the groceries? Sometimes we get melancholy 😞 and have regrets. Should’ve would’ve, but the past is the past. You made decisions not only for you, but for your children’s happiness and wellbeing. You were a wonderful mother!! You did the best you could. Live in the moment. What I see is a strong woman who faced the world as a single divorced woman and you made it work the best you could. You, today, inspire me to face the world everyday and to move forward. Thank you 🙏.
Awww you're so sweet. I very much appreciate your kindness & support
Looks good ❤ I pray you feel better dear. 🙏 😊
Any food pantries near you? What kind of senior (citizen) services are available to you?
The food pantry drops off a bag of food at my door once a month. The good pantry is a long drive into Queens, NY
Miss G make a sweat lodge out of your bathroom. Let your shower steam up and put toilet lid down and sit there and sweat it out. Also good for the sinuses.
Your soup looks great!
Stay positive it’ll get better🌷💕
Thanks for the tip
Praying is my answer for all problems. Worrying about the past will never benefit anyone. I hope you can go out and take a walk and get fresh air!
I've been walking outside once a day. Thank you
I like the way you set the camera up, on a distance tripod, as this morning I got up, I and swept the soil from the plants that the cats had scattered all over the living room floor while I slept (I'm cat sitting at my son's place in piacenza). As I was rather naked while I did it, and hadn't taken my shower yet... thankfully, no cameras running there. (Sorry, but I thought I'd make you laugh, listen have Jill get that AlicinC for you to take, it'll make a world of difference, and see your doctor.) ❤️
I live in a small northern town of 2,000 people in Arizona. We have a food program called Food Share that I get once a month at our elementary school. Do they have something like that in your area?
.
No
You couldn't change him - don't regret it, you did the Right thing. At least you live in Safety & Peace.
Your daughter and family would not want him treating you that way
You are absolutely right 👍. Thank you
This is why we need a universal basic income!
I 💯 agree
Thats good soup. You made Glenda , its no fun to be sick , sorry its lasting so long ❤😮Just hang in there things will get better❤ 🙏🏾😊
Thanks so much
The best way to overcome regrets is to quit repeating the things that cause those regrets. There are videos on youtube showing how to make your money last all month. Frugal Fit Mom in a great one. It won't include luxuries like take out food, take out coffee, lots of snacks and high priced meats, but the take out things are totally unnecessary and bad for us anyway. Things are likely to get worse before they get better. Now is the time for you to buckle down and make smarter choices, for your own well- being. Only YOU can change you.
Thank you for the info on the self help channel. I'll check into it. I definitely need self-improvement
Hi Glenda We all have regrets in life & question the past but don't let it get you down. We can't change our past but can make sure our future is better. You are always thankful & remember your blessings & that's survival. I think you are a beautiful person & you have helped me through your videos. I pray you start to feel better & life keeps you staying positive. ☮💜 from Wisconsin
Awww thank you so much
Ou put slice onion and wrap with plastic bag then put sock on barbara o'Neil says that helps with the cough sleep with the onions on your feet
I did and it didn't help 😔
71 and single here living off of Social Security. We have all felt like you feel. Is there an answer for this? I don't know. I do know though that you are getting through every month. You are making it and a SS payment will come soon which will ease some of the pressure you're feel right now. Do your best ability place your focus on what you have and not what you want or you don't have. It is especially hard to go through times like these in the winter when the days are gray and you feel horrible and it just takes forever for another 24 hours to pass by. I spend 20 hours of every day in bed so I do know what I'm talking about. As to your health, you do probably need to see a doctor again. I would probably see my reg doctor that I like and press this upon him… You need a breakthrough relief prescription. Sometimes all that is over-the-counter drugs. You are strong enough to deal with, your life as it is now but it is especially hard because you are compromised by illness. Can you go to the library and maybe find a couple books on growing vegetables indoors? Also, you can regrow a lot of vegetables from the vegetables you bring home from the grocery store, such as onions and celery, from the tops etc. I suggest this because one always feels better when times are hard if we're doing something positive as opposed to just trying to hold on tightly. It's super hard to be alone and be tight on money and have food deprivation scares while still staying positive and upbeat. Boy that is hard. All that said a hundred percent I know that you've got what it takes to do that. In order to move forward you need a boost in your healthcare. It's not happening the way it is now and it's dragging you down and destroying all your dreams of doing better. That doesn't make you special that just makes you normal. You are going through a hard time that anyone normal would struggle with. If you ask your daughter, for anything, ask her if she would pay for you to go to the doctor as a loan. Then you can pay her back once a month over three months or something like that. Will that be hard on her financially? Maybe. Could be. But I know 100% she will want to help you out. She's a good daughter to you. You need just a pinch of help and a little extra care and then something to concentrate on that is about going forward instead of holding on to the backwards slide. Sending you a lot of love. Maybe a theme you could pick up now and then would be how to stretch a little bit of food into a big pot of something or other. Certainly, our grandmothers knew those recipes. Sending you a lot of love, dear friends. You are very strong woman and I believe in you. Don't forget that the Bible says you have not because you ask not so stay tuned in there and ask and ask and ask for what you need not in big sweeps, but in little tiny things that you need and watch Jesus show up. Get to the doctor ASAP. I'll be watching the channel and praying for your recovery.
I appreciate your kindness & thank you for the time you spent writing such a beautiful, uplifting comment. So much love ❤️
Hi Glenda. I know how crummy it is when you are struggling financially. I’m so sorry that you are not feeling well. My Husband and I had that darn cough for over a month! Bits something going round right now. Lean on the Lord and his grace and strength will carry you . ❤
Thanks so much
Do take care of yourself🙏
Love you Glenda, I always share hope everyone will Like, Share and Follow you to get the money you deserve and need!! God Bless & feel better soon 🙏♥️🙏
Patricia
Thank you
I made a lot of mistakes also . My ex was in the Navy and he was very abusive . So I live on SS also . I feel like I should have put up with it . Because he is doing much better than me . Glenda have you applied for his SS . If you were married for more than 10 years and even though you are divorced and he is remarried doesn’t matter. You are eligible to get his SS instead of your own if his SS was more even if he was remarried. Call SS and inquire about it . Doesn’t hurt to ask . Also I believe you should go get rechecked. You are not getting any better.
I'll most likely go to my PCP tomorrow. My ex didn't work much. He was drunk most of his life & got fired from every job & would stay unemployed. I get a small pension & his wife gets part of it
Could you not get into assisted living. A smaller place even. Easier to keep
No because those places are very expensive
I know you'll be so much happier when you get well. Illness and/or fatigue can really make you sick emotionally. I've got some doozies of regrets myself. But God, in His mercy, always let's me know I'm loved despite all of my mistakes and sins. You don't know it, but you are a good friend of mine. You really help with the loneliness. We have so much in common.
Bless you Glenda. Praying for your healing. 🙏😇❤️
At least you have a car. Try public transportation it sucks. I hope that things get better for you. Get some rest and get better soon ❤️
Thanks for watching and commenting. I've had to take public transportation before and I detest it.
Feel better soon!! ♥️♥️
You need to go to urgent care you are not getting better, please go soon this has been to long
Take care
Thank you for the advice
Bless your heart! We see how sick you are and its concerning to us all because we love you! I understand even tho i have a wonderful husband but when youre trying to help one of your children and grandson its hard! Paycheck to paycheck 😢but Gods got us! Ues, we could have done better but hindsight and looking back i probably would have done nothing different. We'll make it hun, hang in there!! Praying for you ❤
Go to the hospital now. Get help. This isnt good for you.Youve got to get better. You cant keep coughing like this, ok?
You are so right!!
But the copay…
Yes! I think you should go to the ER!
The hospital will she her even if she can’t afford the copay
If she ends up with a hospital bill she should be eligible for charity care to cover the costs as long as it's a nonprofit hospital
Although I live on my SS alone and my fridge is most of the time empty I still am blessed to have a roof over my head and it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer and my car is 16 yrs old have the up keep of that money money money goes to up keep it but still bless to have it I also at times look back on my live and say to myself what happened where did I go wrong..but Glenda we are NOT alone the Lord has us to go down the path that we are on for a reason we may not know that reason until the end but I would rather go down this path with the Lord than ask my children for money or even have a YT channel because for me that would be like begging and my soul just can't do that please don't feel as you are alone your not be blessed not stressed it is hard trust and believe 💯 I know where you are at in your life but go forward and look back no more 🙏
Thank you so much
Also Glenda I think there might be a Para transit that can come by and give you rides wherever you need to go and maybe they don't charge too much cause it's for seniors and ppl with disabilities that way you would save on gas and oil and wear and tare on tires it maybe worth checking out and hope you get to feeling better soon God Bless🙏🙏
@deloreshall7005
I'll check on that. Thank you
Looks like your doing fine! Most have to live in goverment apt in bad area! or Old trailers!
So 😢
SO be thankful uour Doing Better than Most!@@glendasully
Our generation didn't think we would live so long etc. I didn't do a 401 k. Nobody told me that this was t supplement 20% of a full.salary. so.since I didn't move up 80% is not enough. $176 Medicare and $200 for 2nd health ins. So few of us planned right. Even those that did are still not retiring!
Glenda i would give anything to have my mother she passed dec 3rd 2023, i wanted her to come and live with me and hubby, i wanted to have her here with me in texas, i would do all the cooking but it did not work out that she would come to texas. She was living in a condo in virginia. She was 97 and the best mom. I am sorry you have to live on your own,
I lived in texas while momma was in va. I so did not like she was alone, i called her 6 times daily. Jill i know has her family but you need help being sick and needing money. My mom did not want to intrude with me and hubby. But i so wanted her to live here so i could take care of her, she was of sound mind, listen consider for jill to possible have a home nurse to come and help you while your sick that can cook and just help around your place, call a place for momma, that is the name of an agency to help you. Jill can see how much it would be so you can still live in. Your home. This is dixie from texas. You are very sickly and it has been going to long. Just sayin.
Your Chicken Soup looks amazing!!!
Thank you 😋
Hi Glenda. Sorry you are not feeling well. I've been sick for over 2 weeks. Congestion, coughing, runny nose, bad crud. I finally took some Delsym 12 hour OTC, it really helped. I stayed hydrated. Drank a lot of herbal tea. Used Vicks too. Praying you get better soon.🙏
Oh lord Glenda,
It sounds like we have a lot in common. I am 63. Almost 64 my bday is in a few weeks. I too am divorced and disabled. My ssi check is only 943.00 a month and I get 152.00 in foodstamps a month.
And I could really use make this work if I could find a way to make 300. a month income.. but Being on assistance I have always been told to report any other income to the social security office and to the foodstamp office.
And I get help on my rent. I have a 2 bedroom apt because I qualify for a live in care taker. I have been on a walker since 2017. From a failed back surgery. And I am on oxygen 24-7. Copd stage 4.
Are you on oxygen? It sounded like you have an upper respiratory problem? I hope you feel better soon!!!!
I live on the gulf coast. In MS. And I have a daughter and grandchildren in Louisiana. I am thinking about transferring my housing over to Louisiana and let my daughter help me to find a home or apt. They have some really nice apartments for ppl our age and for our pocketbooks. Somebody recently told me that the government can see our PayPal , cash app, chimes, Zelle all of those… and Just be careful and mindful. I would hate it if you got cut off because of a donation. Do you mind explaining how TH-cam works? How long does it take to get a check from yt? I am super interested!!! If I could work I sure would!!! I would love to go volunteer even.. but nobody wants to look at a disabled crippled old woman.. I don’t drive anymore because I can’t afford to. Not with insurance every month… so I walk to the Walmart near my apt. Because the Walmart grocery delivery is charging for the weight sometimes, and I just don’t have it. So on my walker and with my oxygen I still get out and walk over to Walmart and walk back home. I sure do understand times are hard. They were worse when I was with my ex husband. He was a severe alcoholic and I’m sure you already know how horrible that was. It sounds like you too were married to one of those. And I have suffered thru the loss of my child my only son when he was 17.
I will be following you Glenda. If you live nearby I would love to meet you. Do you ever go play bingo? I don’t. But I think I’m going to go try that soon. I too could really use a lil extra every month. Take care of yourself 🌺🌺🌺
It sounds like you have a great life story to tell. That's how I started my channel in 2017. I have a playlist of my early childhood stories. I encourage you to watch videos on how to start a YT channel. The videos will show you how. It's super easy but you'll need a smartphone or camera to record on & a laptop or access to a computer to set up your account. I started my channel in Oct. 2017 & got my first check in Dec. 2018.
I think that because you’re not feeling well and that tends to make a person feel down and then look back on life. You’re perfect the way you are❤❤❤
Keeping you in prayer for healing of your health.
Prayers your way keep making chicken soup
Thank you, I will
Pray that you get well soon you can go get free food and the food you buy will help you you have to stop looking back a keep going i am 67 living on social security to thank God you have your apartment God bless you ❤🙏
Thank you, I will
I pray you get to feeling better soon. I know how low you must feel being ill for so long. It surely takes a toll on the body and mind. Hang in there ❤💪🏼
You can't try harder with someone who for whatever reason wraps his hands around your neck. Ever.😡🥰🥰
Praying for you and greatfull for you sharing your experiences.🥰🤧🥰🙏🏻
You're correct.
Glenda,I have been watching you forquite some time.i.rarely comment,however I am only halfway through and I feel so.bad that you have so little food and you obviously are struggling.
Jill is very Blessed to.have ypur support in caring for your grandchildren. Let me tell you.that many grandmother's are as committed as you are!!! And please know that all.of us have regrets.As a Christian, be assured that GOD doesn't remember your regrets!! He Loves YOU!! please continue to give yourself time to get better,and know that you are Loved and Appreciated!!!!😉🙏
Glenda,I apologize texting mistake.meant that not many grandmother's are as committed as you to their grandchildren!!!
Awww thank you, Joan
Glenda, don’t worry about what happened in the past. You can’t change the past, and you will never be able to change the past.
Worry about what happens in the future. What’s happening right now.
Maybe when you start feeling better and the weather warms up, you and Jill and the kids and hubby can go on a picnic to a park somewhere or to a museum or somewhere just to get out for the day. It will lift your spirits. Never say never.
I’m sure she loves to get out with the kids as much as you would.
Have a great day. Put your stress in the Lord.
May God bless you always
Handed over to God. He will take care of you in one way or another.
Thank you for your kindness & words of encouragement. I very much appreciate you
@@glendasully and I appreciate you.
I watched another video of yours just a few minutes ago where you gave your expenses. I am not familiar with your entire situation but I was confused as to why your rent takes most of your Social Security check? Most senior apartments use 30% of your gross income. Is it different where your live? Could you get subsidized rent? Maybe you already have. I hope that you are feeling better!
The North Hempstead Housing Authority built these units with a special Tax Exempt grant from HUD. They are not part of HUD Section 8 housing (33% of income). The rent is based on the Area Median Income for this area of Long Island, NY. My rent is approximately 1/2 of my income.
@@glendasully Oh gosh. That is too much and makes it very difficult to get by - especially given our current economy.
That's why I work part-time as a TH-cam creator. I was homeless & had to do something for more money.
🙏❤️
🙏💕
That coughing seems worse need to go to your Doctors see if you need to go to the Hospital 😔
❤❤❤❤❤❤
U are a good cook by the looks of that soup u put together with little effort.
Thank you
Me too Glenda, me too. Love and blessings.
