- You’d be surprised how many aging women and men feel irrelevant and INVISIBLE …even as young as 50 and 60! There are ways to escape this ….and spend your Golden Years happy, content and fulfilled. But one aspect of your life has to change as you make the choice to BEAT THE SYNDROME! Nanny cites some personal experiences that she and Moosie have recently had. Join her for this chat!❤️
MUSIC BY EPIDEMIC SOUND
Just returned from a family reunion where we celebrated a relative's 100th birthday. She still lives alone (widow) in a lovely apartment - not assisted living - at 100! She was a nurse in WWII and an RN her entire working years. She has plenty of family around and is still quite social. IMO we all should aspire to have such a full life.
Amen, my friend!❤️
Out of curiosity, does she live in a city where she can walk for groceries?
@@TheSoj77 She lives in a small city and uses grocery delivery. Her apartment is ground level so easy access. Family members also help and stop by for visits, etc.
Thank you
It was nice to hear you refreshing voice with loavly ideas ect
I live very far away from people but I enjoy listening their voices, I also enjoy my plants and my beautiful little animal friends!
Sending love/ good vibes and wishes to you ❤
My Grand daughter said to me years ago. "Grandma I'm not a baby anymore.". It was a wake up call and shock. It made me realize I had better "Get a Life". And from that time on, I have made it my business to balance my family life with my social life. My family and Senior friends love my independence and free spirit. I'm 85 and truly alive. Thanking The LORD.

I love hearing these comments, Millie…you went for it…and found it! ❤️🥰
I absolutely agree! When I would take my mother somewhere in her wheelchair, I found my mother was treated like a piece of furniture. She would sit there and say, “I am here. You will speak directly with me, please.” (She was a retired 2nd grade schoolteacher.)
I am now 77 and have all of my faculties (for the time being anyway) and I have experienced ‘invisibility’ a couple of times already. I find it is critical to engage with eye contact. Then I can speak and be listened to. I believe as I get older, this whole engaging thing will be quite a chore, especially if I’m being wheeled around.
I also come back home feeling so happy after getting together with friends and talking and laughing and feeling part of something.
It is definitely a thing and a very important thing.
Nanny, I watch all your videos, BUT this one has to be up there with one of the best! You really get people & you also understand that not everyone has the support & attention from their families/friends for a multitude of reasons. You offered sound advice to all of us. There are a lot of people that are alone & suffering with their health issues & sadly our health systems are broken & doctors & support staff are struggling to keep up. Pain & illness is not easy to be around at times & for the person suffering it is a daily challenge. Your talks & encouragement are so needed today so that we know we are not alone & your ideas on what we could try were great too. I love to watch your videos at night. I don't feel so alone no matter what the subject is because you share your own feelings & life experiences, whether they are good or bad.
Thank you for sharing & I will keep you & Moosie & your family in my prayers.❤🙏
Thank you, Linda…❤️
I so appreciate this topic, I'm 79 living with people who don't even no I'm alive, wonders if they will think of me when I'm gone?. I'm going to try out a senior center soon. Thank you u spoke on a topic that touches a lot of us.
How you’ve helped me today. Thank you. I’m 88 and loving it!
❤❤❤God’s hand was all over Moose’s glorious day and your lovely day with your great granddaughter and granddaughter and a close friend!❤❤❤
You have hit on a very real thing. I recently reached 80 and have noticed this phenomenon for a few years now. I catch myself telling people don't let the gray hair fool you. I refuse to allow anyone to call me grandma or anything that has an aging context to it. So long as the Lord allows me to live alone by my own wits and keep my faculties intact I will not give up
You go girl !!!
I have no problem being called Granny as I cherish my Grandchildren calling me that. Age is all in the mind anyway. Call me what you like 😅
We all need our cups filled! I have to get out of my comfort zone and enjoy life. It’s not always easy. I’m so pleased that you and Moosie were able to have your cups filled this week! Love you! ❤
Im guilty for when I was in my late 30’s 65 was old. Well I’m 74 now and I got here wayyyyy too fast!! And yes, my family does go days without calling me and it affects my mood and how I feel about myself. A hug goes a long long ways. I just have a soon and 2 grown grandsons , my family is small. What makes me feel worse is I’ve had a HA & a stroke last year and that has made me fearful. I even did counseling & that gave me a lot of ways to get my mind out of the stinkin thinkin!! Thank goodness. Happy to be alive all in all!!! Xo TY for posting this. I just pulled my grannies panties up!!
Sending Big Hugs to you! You are not alone.😊💞
I have been attending a Bible study of over 400 women for 14 years. I lead a small group of them ranging in age from the 20"s to the 80's. We have a meaningful, vibrant time discussing the Word and sharing our lives. It's so wonderful to hear about the struggles of the young moms and the challenges of the more mature ladies. I think it's vital to be a part of a group like this. It keeps you from becoming stale. We influence one another in positive ways.
You are so right about this, Nanny! I live alone and am separated from my husband at 71 years old. My only child struggles with depression and works full time so I don't see her as often as I'd like. I'm lucky to have lots of good friends and a dog that keeps me out and about in my friendly neighborhood, but lately I'm aware of my mortality and sometimes feelings of irrelevance and unsociability creep up on me. Your reminders will help me to include some new pastimes (not solitary ones) into my life. Thank you for caring for us as we all care for you and Moosie.
Nanny your family is SO blessed to have YOU! Without a doubt you are inspiring and amazing. I am only 65 but I have been on my own for 16 years and while I am ok with it, I need to heed this advice. I am introverted and socially awkward on my own, but I need to get over that and GET OUT there more!! Thank you for this pep talk, I wish you could hold me accountable to doing more lol I am very happy that Moose felt so important, and it has changed his attitude! I LOVE YOU and will continue prayers for both of you 😘❤
What you talked about today is so true. I'm so glad Moosie had a great day!!!! I know how it lifted you too!!! You know what, I'm going to call an old friend and catch up on things!!! I love going grocery shopping and I talk to people there and help those I see need help. It makes me feel good and I think I've made a few new friends that I see there here and there. Just grocery shopping. It does lift your day. I always leave the grocery store smiling. Not about prices but just smiling and making someone else smile. Have a great week. Good health peace and hugs, to you and Moosie.
Wise words. It's nice to hear Moose had a good day and was made feel so included. Sounds like a very nice place. xx
Yes l know what you mean. It’s true just to feel connected to people places and things. You are soo wonderful about keeping us upbeat l go to grand children ball games track meets always doing stuff at church to . Thank you Nanny l know their are people who needs to hear this .♥️
I just came from my youngest granddaughter's wedding. My brother and sister-in-law took me. It was about an hour and a half away. I enjoyed it so much. Spending time with my brother was so fun. He is so busy he owns a busy so doesn't have much spare time. So I got to spend the day with family and some new people I never saw before. My other granddaughter the older sister to the bride. Was their 2 and 2 of her 5 children. So I got to visit with my 2 great grandchildren to. What a bonus. I got out of my comfort zone. I am not very mobile. But I made it and glad I did. This just happened yesterday. Right in line of your video. Love your videos. Blessings to you and Moosey. Xoxoxo ❤
One of your best, Nanny. Bringing happiness into each others' lives is such a lovely and importabt thing. I'm 74, single with no kids and family far away. I try to get out with others at least a few times a week. We must keep our world "big". It's how God made it for us and we must enjoy it. Sounds like you and Moosie have the best of all possible worlds. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Nanny thank you so much for your encouraging words today. Being in church and Sunday school is so important to me. Being a widow is so hard but, being with ladies who understand is so helpful. I have to be around encouragers and always try to encourage others❤️. No one will ever fill the void left by my Terry but, God is my everything and is always there God Bless you Nanny and oh how wonderful to see your Moosie smiling that huge smile 🎉. It doesn’t take much to be KIND
Loved hearing your story today about Mossie being invited, welcomed and included with the staff party at his new home! That is so heartwarming!
I brought an orange dahlia to my hairdresser's shop earlier this week. Everyone loved it! I had the nicest experience getting a perm with a new hairdresser.
I play Canasta once a week with my dear past roommate who is 87 years old. I always bring her flowers from my garden (she's a retired flower shop lady). Sometimes the flowers last all week. I also bring treats, such as organic treats, interesting articles, new purple nail polish that she loves, etc. She is so precious to me, and I want her to feel it. I'll be 70 this fall. I am as uplifted as she is because of our visits.
You are a true friend,Ester…and a very thoughtful one,too…with a love of flowers…they always make aa beautiful gift.❤️🥰
Nanny dearest ❤️ nobody could possibly say that you are preaching 😢 it’s all excellent information you pass on through your feelings and experiences that are so real to so many of us.
As has been said before you are an ‘inspiration’ and you must wear that label proudly as the gift you give is certainly inspirational whatever one’s circumstances are.
Being aware of others who aren’t as fortunate for a myriad of reasons are always in your chats and that alone makes those folks and from the many comments are of much value.
Bless you and Moosie and may he continue to improve each day .
I’m an 83 year old widow of six years with a rather large garden to keep under control 😅 so I’ve learnt to do exactly as you mention.. keeping a positive attitude and keeping things in perspective for my particular circumstances!
Can you tell I’ve just come in from mowing my lawns and feel very pleased with myself!!! Weeding day tomorrow!!! Much love from down under xx
Yes, my friend…I know the feeling…❤️🥰
So true eveything you said. It does seem hard to put yourself out there especially if you don’t live near family, or, like me you’ve moved so many times many of your good friends are far away. I recently joined a new book club with women of different ages ( I’m by far the oldest) but a couple of the younger ladies have had me over for dinner and drinks and we had a blast together. I do miss the friendships I made all the years I was working. But social media has been a godsend in that area. YOU ARE LIKE MY GOOD FRIEND WHO I CAN COUNT ON TO KEEP IN TOUCH👍🥰. Thank you for that and God bless you and Moosie!
Beautiful insight on creating personal joy. I’m so glad to hear of Moosie’s happy experience! It can make a difference in his healing.
Recently I experienced a sinking in my heart when I heard my adult children got together and didn’t include me. It was not intentional to not invite me but they are adults now and have social lives in and out of family. Their get together was not a family event ie birthday, graduation etc. and it wasn’t the entire family but a couple of my kids and their partners. It has taken days for me to process my sadness. Then I realized the many times I got together with my sister and didn’t invite our mother. It didn’t seem out of place or unnatural to exclude her but we hadn’t thought to include her either. As I look back (mom is gone now) I can see how much joy she would have derived from a simple breakfast or lunch out with her daughters. All that to say - invite someone you love and who is alone, they will decline or accept as need be - but that invitation will make them happy to know you thought of them. ❤
You have to know your kid love you. Some of our greatest pleasure is knowing that our children like to hang out together.
Beautiful, Cyndy❤️🥰
I just love spending time watching and listening to you. Thank you for everything you do to inspire your listeners. I am so glad I found your channel.
Nanny, this video is of such importance. I know many say they are alone, but not lonely. I completely understand that…..BUT, I also believe we humans are meant to be around other humans. I agree that the age doesn’t matter, but the human interaction does. I also know that making new friends as you age does become more challenging, so we have to be willing to put some effort into building that community. I have been retired now for 5 years, and am at a point where I am really ready to find either a community group, a volunteer organization ,etc, to broaden my circle. Definitely not my most comfortable situation, but I know this will pay off. And if the first attempt isn’t so great, then I will try something else. Thank you for the inspiration and for how much you care for your community here. God bless you and Moosie. Have a good week ahead. 🥰☀
It will pay off! Just go…you don’t have to say much….just soak in the benefits of being with humanity.
I know you’ll find your niche,Bobbie…hugs,❤️🥰
Such a great reminder, thank you! Your thoughts are a blessing.
Hi Nanny. This is a great post and everything you said is very true and helpful for people to think about. I worked for many years in a nursing facility and we tried so hard to stay aware of invisible people. One great idea for family members to do is bring into the patient’s room , photos of your patient that shows them in their younger years!!! Especially of them being active like playing sports or playing with the kids. But show him as a young, vibrant, fun person. It helps the nursing staff to “see” the patient in a different light and it makes a difference. 💖
This might be one of your most significant talks yet. Thank you!❤
Yes! This is true. Went to see an old friend yesterday we laughed and shared our opinions and our worries. When I got home I realized how good I felt.❤
I needed to hear this.
Due to health issues (chronic pain), I've isolated myself from people, and it's become a habit.
Time to make some changes!
Thank you😊
Invisibility is a super power😊 don’t forget that!
I agree! I am at that age that I dress conservatively, no bright colors, I don’t need attention.
I am 70! I understand what you’re saying! I don’t like tv anymore either! One thing I do (we’re snowbirds) When we go to Fl. I go out dancing with the young people! They dance with me! It makes me feel alive again! They know how to have fun! They make me feel seen again!
OMG, I can’t believe I turned on your channel, this episode just when I’m feeling exactly like this. Daughter and family live in another state. Husband does nothing but work and sit on the couch with a book and I just feel invisible. At least I’m not the only one.
I will be 79 in January and I do not allow myself to feel invisible 🤩so happy for Moose’s involvement with the celebration ⭐️👏
What great timing for this video. My husband passed away 27 months ago and I am 69 - 70 next month and have been trying to put myself back together. I belong to an African Violet Club and missed quite a few meetings due to being down and out and some mobility issues. I realize I need to go! I also need to start back to water aerobics classes to get the movement and the socialization. This video has inspired me. Thank you so much. I'm so glad Moose spirits are up from the party and you also. Please keep your wonderful videos coming. I so look forward to them. Blessings to you from Texas.
I am SO sorry for this void in your life…that God will eventually fill. I am in awe of your courage. Keep going!
Blessings to you, too, my friend..❤️🙏
I have looked everywhere for an African Violet (purple)...I even ordered one and waited two weeks then got a notice it wasn't available....could you tell me where to buy an African Violet (purple) In S. Fl. AND, my sincere prayers go out to you.
I also belong to an African Violet Group but sadly it is getting smaller and smaller. I’m in Nebraska. Covid sure has affected meetings. I also belong to a Canasta card playing group. I am sad because my adult kids who aren’t in the same city like to control my life and tell me they don’t like certain friends and I can’t see them. They are very controlling. They also want me to move out of my home.
@@NancyEngel-m5f Yes I along with two others formed a new club prior to Covid nd ended up doing many Zoom presentations. Houston is so large we needed another club. Well, we had to give it up however we remained in our main Club so that worked out. We lost people because of Covid and we are slowly building up. A few clubs in Texas have gone under. We are trying to recruit younger people but it is hard,, Canasta sounds fun I've never played. Sorry about your kids. They do like to try and control us at times don't they. Where are you in Nevada? Joyce Stork is in the Vegas area and very big is AVSA. I met her at a convention and talk to her on many FB violet pages. Blessings to you from Texas.
So happy you got such a refreshing call from Moosie!!! God works in such wonderful ways when we least expect Him to!!! I agree with you 100% about putting one’s self out there!!! People at any age also need to remember that they need to be a friend to have a friend!!! Being lovable and friendly is a must if we want people to enjoy our company. Older people can sometimes give unwanted advice and come across in a way that could offend, so we always must remember not to give advice unless it’s asked for and not to profess our opinions so much. We don’t have and won’t ever have grandchildren, so our only family is our one daughter and her husband. They are both very highly educated and don’t need our advice about anything, so we just try to enjoy whatever we do together and also try not to get into any discussions that may not be right-hopefully you know what I mean. Thankfully we agree on political subjects which is always a big relief and can definitely be the source of a lot of discord. I passionately believe that being involved in church activities can be a source of great satisfaction, as well as being a volunteer in some worthwhile organization. I also believe that a senior retirement living environment can be a wonderful alternative to living alone. I do realize that a senior living facility can be expensive-but if it is within reach, it should absolutely be considered-I know, for sure, that if I ever end up alone, I will definitely look into a senior living residence for myself. Just my thoughts…💝💝💝
♥️🙏🏼Nanny this was a great video and so encouraging to so many people and it will help many people. as you know on my channel…I do daily doses of encouragement, and I try so much to let people know not to forget those that may be homebound or not traveling as much or just needing an extra, helping hand. Uplifting an older person is so important. 🙏🏼♥️Sending you lots of love prayers and kindness with a daily dose of encouragement with positive thoughts! ♥️🙏🏼🇺🇸🌹
Love your Autumn decorations in the background, beautiful. 🍁🍂
Thank you I'm 71 yr old widow and am goin to make an effort to get out more with friends and family. ❤️
Yes you are very right getting out making friends every once in awhile going to a cafe having a cop of coffee a just talking with a new frind is fun and energizing. When i was in my 20tys i use to go to a cafe and have coffee with an older people that was working and we would talk the older group understood me and what i was working towards it made me feel good about myself
Thanks for sharing! You truly have the heart of a motivational speaker!!
You are incredible! I love your attitude. I continue to pray for you and Moose. Please take care. Blessings and prayers...
I really enjoyed this video. I am 79 and retired, live with myself. Most of the time I'm OK. Lately though I easily get tired. Your suggestions are really appreciated. I still make myself do things . Your words are very encouraging. Thank you.❤
You look so cute in your 2 pony tails and overhauls! I'm 82 and enjoy your talks that really cheer me up as I am alone but do have my Church for having some social life.
I really enjoy hearing and seeing you,since I recently subscribed to your channel.Yes,I am one of those ladies that definitely feel invisible,since the loss of my only son,then 1 yr later,I lost my wonderful husband of 30 yrs..( 6 yrs ago) I have become very isolated with living alone.My daughter hasn't spoken to me in 2 yrs and my 3 teenage grandchildren keep their distance.They live in VA and I recently moved to Austin,hoping to be close to my brother.Once again,I am invisible!
I miss my friend's in Florida and never I never g❤❤😊o out,except to buy food.I am an out going person,but here,I feel lost.Thank you for being you❤I am so happy that Moosie is feeling better.Enjoy your family and stay happy. 😊
You're so encouraging, Nanny ❤
Thank you for being here with us,Louise and I am so sorry for your losses, …I would love to hear that you would join a group and befriend others who would love to have you join them…You deserve to be hsppy.🥰❤️
Louise, I definitely relate to at least half of what you said. Being alone is hard at this age, even tougher when traveling the rough road of grief. My sweetheart went to heaven 13 years ago and I'm just now learning to breathe again. I too, moved away from my TN home, miss my friends, my church family, and the mountains. Louise, I'm going to pray for you daily. I hope that's ok. I'm going to pray that we both start enjoying life, and that God will send some sweet surprises your way, and mine! 🙂God bless you.
This was a much needed video for so many of all ages, but especially i think those of us that have many years behind us .
When i became extremely depressed which led to many physical illnesses after my husband passed, my daughter stepped in and helped me find the right doctors and i was so grateful for her take charge attitude. But as i started to come out of my fog and wanted to be a part of life again, i realized the doctors were talking to her like i wasn't even there....i spoke up to let them know they should be talking to me. That got their attention. 🙂
It will happen in stores which really aggravate s me, but i know one day it's going to happen to those people so i guess karma 😂😂
You have to learn to speak up to your family friends, doctors and strangers. People these days are lost in their own world.
You’re not preaching. You’re teaching, which you’re a master at doing. Having some sort of interaction with other people, even occasionally or briefly, is basic to our human nature. Just simple acts such as saying hello with a smile while walking or complimenting a person is very uplifting, not only for the receiver but the giver as well. Your videos are evidence of this, too. So even subscribers who say they don’t want social interaction are connecting with you, which proves your points made! We all need human kindness and positive interactions. Excellent discussion, Nannie.
Crystal clear blue eyes, beautiful lady with an interesting topic she finds worth expressing. So heartfelt and wise. Thank you. I will consider socializing so I can revive like Moosie did
One of many things about you are the pigtails that I also wear! Bless you and Moose! 🌺🙏🌺
Thank you again Nanny this video felt like I was sitting in a room with you chatting it was lovely and so much good advice,
invisibility happens to me often, for instance someone will greet me but is actually looking around for someone more “ influential “to talk too😂
Sending both you and Moosie our prayers 🙏 & hugs 🤗 and lots of love
Nanny, this is indeed a real thing. I often feel it and fight it. I once was fairly competent, but now know nothing according to some! 🙄😃 Mr Google is indeed helpful not to mention all the resources available to us in this information age. I appreciate your in depth discussion here on something many of us face and find difficult to remedy. So glad Moose is having better days, and hope that trend continues. Know that helps you have better days as well. PS: The fact you started this TH-cam channel is a reflection of your risk-taking and self confidence! You have taken Life by the britches! How wonderful! 💙💗💙
Hello Nanny😊. This was a very special video. I hope it helps many people. Its so heart warming to hear about Moosies wonderfu happy day. God is so good. He knows what we need and when we need it. Im 72 & a widow of 14 yrs and live alone. I dont drive so I dont get out as much as some people do. But Im very happy and thats the important thing. You and Moose have fantastic blessed happy week. God bless you and your family. Sending love & hugs your way.❤️💕🫂🫂🙏
Lovely to listen to you today, love to you xx
What a timely message for me ,Nanny! Thank you so much!
Moose's facility sounds like a wonderful place to be for him.
I agree with you about TV, i hardly watch it these days.
Have a great week,Nanny❤
Prayers & good thoughts for nanny & moose. God bless you both!! Thank❤ you thank you! A very SWEET& THOUGHTFUL video! ❤
Yes, Nanny! Last night my little granddaughter spent the night. We stayed up late and we read 3 books at bedtime 😊 Being with her talking and having fun rejuvenates me😅 The other grandkids are teenagers and boys. They're too busy to play games or visit like they used to. She's in school activities and there's less time for us to get together but i cherish every giggle, and every hug they share with me ❤❤
Great advice for getting out and active. I may take your advice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Prayers for you and Moosey🙏
Nanny you never stop giving to your friends from your heart! What a nice chat!!
❤😊
Nanny,my favorite Uncle passed this week. He was 86😢. I often look to you for advice, you may have seen me a few times. You are always so encouraging. I want to start my own channel and only hope I can bring people into my life and love them as you have us ! You are NOT invisible to me!❤
You hit the nail on the head!!! Anytime we can get out and focus on others does more for our sense of well being than the actual recipient 🎉 If we are unable to get out we can make phone calls to encourage others & also send letters and cards-🎉
Thank you, Nanny. This is one of my favorite all time videos. God Bless you, Moosie and family. I am alone now for about 2 years. I have closed myself between the walls and am going to get out more.
I agree, Nanny, having an interest and investment in others' lives is so important. It builds community and trust. The arch-enemy for me was self-pity, often camouflaged. Relationships are precious and they are all on different levels. This is almost a science! The 'science' of friendships and what makes them good. God bless you and Moosie. ❤
You are so right Nanny,a group got in touch with us,o Thursday we went to the seaside,so lovely to walk along the sea front,they picked us up,there were two drivers and 5of us in the mini bus,it was a great day out,so nice to meet new people,take care,love 💞😻💜
Nanny thanks for these great advices. ❤I’m still praying for you both.♥️🙏
Excellent advice - I retired in 2018 - ugh - it was not for me. I prayed & the Lord led me to a small family run business - so warm & sharing , perfect for me & of course my church family makes me feel welcomed. I try to play it forward for other seniors I meet. Thank you again Nanny❤
Always good advice Nanny. Our mental health and emotional health really affects our physical health. Stay positive. Glad Moosie had a great day.
❤You are a beautiful inspiration 🎉🎉🎉🎉
i finally found the iced amethyst lipstick ! arrived this week. And the highlighter to go with it. Thank you for letting your viewers know about your pretty cosmetic choices. It's very generous of you.

Nanny thank you so much for your encouragement and wisdom. I live with my daughter, son in law, granddaughter and my husband. But when my husband goes to work I am basically alone all day. I will use your advice . Glad you guys are doing better. GOD Bless😊
I love your vlogs so much! You show us how to enjoy retirement!
HI Nanny , I am 64 and working with mostly women & men in late 30's early 40's .. I definitely feel very very left out and counting the days until I retire in 2025!! I do not have friends near by, so I hope to garden, and volunteer at the bookstore at our Diocese office building, and find other groups. It truly is harder to make friends as we age. Blessings and hugs Paula prayers to Moosie and you xoxo P.S I went and visited my 88 year old uncle that truly made his days , I plan on doing it more !
Awesome Advise Nanny Thank You For Inspiring All Our Peoples This is So True 100% 🤗 ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Nanny
Another great video
You always make a good point
You never are preaching
Well, Nanny, you know how I feel about you
Actually, you really perked me up today
I get down, from being alone
I am widowed for almost 18 years and it feels like yesterday
I loved ❤him since I was 12 years old, Nanny, and when people say “you should be over it” they are wrong
Anyway, you are a very positive person and uplifting person and I am certain you lift a lot of people up , so keep on doing what you do
Looking forward to your next video
Love,
Barbara
Good morning Nanny. I was very happy to know that Moose had a wonderful time. It’s so important for his convalescence to feel integrated into a party and have friendly people around him. In reality, socialising with other people helps us not to feel invisible, but it becomes difficult in closed societies. Love you Nanny, take care with yourself and God bless you all.
What a lovely message yet again. Thank you so much!
Sounds like Moosie is coming along nicely, hopefully it continues. There are some days that I can be sorry for me but on the other hand I'm happy, miss hubby, but learning to be alone and not lonely. I read all the time, I love you tube, the beauties, and of course, visits from grandkids. I have lost most of my friends and those that are left are in their 80's and not driving any more. I don't want to join any groups either grief or otherwise. Wishing all of our ladies and men happiness and to just keep busy and don't dwell on the negative. 🙏🏈
Boy this is a great video! Nanny brings it! ❤ hug❤
Thank you Nanny, you inspire me, everything you said I appreciate so much. May God Bless you and Moosie.
Gracias y Besos!!!!🙏❤️😘
What a great story. I’ve told you before that even though I’m a senior, most of my life I’ve always been around people who are at least ten years older than me. That’s who I love being around. I love to hear their life stores. I’m sure there are others like that too. Obviously, those who work there. I’m so happy Moosie had a wonderful day and thankful that the hospital he’s in has employees that make Moosie feel important.❤️
Good morning Nanny, I agree that we doubt our worth at times, but we have to appreciate our life and thank God for every day! It’s good to hear that Moose is out of his funk! God says we all need love, to give love and be love! Happy to hear his story! ❤you both!
💐
Thank you so much for sharing your life wisdom. I am learning so much from you and love your videos. God bless you & Moosie! ❤
Wonderful advice Nanny. People who make others feel relevant are such gifts to this world. That's what it all about. People who are builders, not destroyers. Moosie is in a wonderful place. I will say for me, if what I do is pleasing to God, it will be the right way to be. You are both loved dearly.🥰✝️🙏
I think you are a gift from god.
Hi from Annie that is a very good point there how we can feel so much happier if we are acknowledged by others. It is amazing seeing Moosie so happy, he enjoyed being needed and part of a group. So welcomed feeling like he mattered and counted. Lovely to feel that way.
Today's video is so good!! Thank you Nanny - I'm so very glad I found your channel (got it from rxstmom - thank you Patty!) You always inspire me and encourage me! 💞
Hi Nanny! I feel the love you are giving to all of us! You are such a loving spirit! I'm a big introvert (came out of army bratness that way or was just born that way). I know what you are saying about getting out there, and it's almost as if you are giving me a pep talk because I just want to stay in my comfort zone, but I know it's not really 100% good to be shut in all the time. I must work on my social anxiety. So glad Moosie had a good time and it lifted his spirits! That was just what he needed! Sounds like he is in a good place! Thank you for such an uplifting video!🥰❤
So glad Moosie had a great day! I go to my local Sr Ctr. Its been a great experience, meetig new people and doing new activities. We laugh alot.
What a priceless story on Moosie, so glad he had a great day.
Much love from my home to yours!
I just love you and your inspirational talks. Thank you .
I'm going to try. Thank you for the inspiration.
Nanny your video today is so important and necessary!! I am 75 and still have my friends from grade school. We get together often. I do have other older friends and feel them withdrawing from activities. Now initiate getting together and i say i will pick you up and we can go to movie and i will drop you off close to the door and i will go park the car. Her hips and knees are bothering her. She is 2 years older. After movie we go have lunch. By then she is back to being the chatty fun girl i remember. We have to help each other!!! Love you Nanny and happy Moose is on the mend!! Carol from Nebraska.❤
Thank you so much for this video Nanny. i always loved to go to the hair salon, but at 78 I feel so invisible at the salons. So happy Moosie had that experience and you got to listen to his happiness.❤
I so love these girl chats Nanny you have given me strength to do this.. been feeling pretty vanilla lately.. XOXO
You are such a delightful inspirational gal. I’m 53 and I just love watching your videos I even brought the same dungarees in the summer .. you and moose are wonderful and hope he is now in the up and up. I have the Irish connection in my blood too and I see such a lot of it in u.. sending love from over seas ❤️
Thank you so much you are a wonderful example of how to be happy and uplift those around you ❤
Dear Nanny….thx for your words of wisdom! You are so right! I’m always happier after I get out and see my kids and some friends….its not often but yes….makes me feel better! I’m actually looking forward to the holidays more than ever this yr because I know I’ll be with family. Everyone living their lives and it’s so hard for us to be together as much as we’d like! A great video Nanny! Thx! Sending hugs and love to both❤❤
Loved loved loved your chat today…I’m hoping it will inspire many of your “family” here on TH-cam. So happy to see Moosie and hear about his glorious day. It’s a fabulous day here in the Chicago area…so I finished church…put makeup on and now I’m going to “explore” a few things AND mosey around Trader Joe’s! Smooches to you both xoxo
