Even when out in the car I like to wake up and take my time, with a gentle start to the day. Sort out the day ahead in my head. What am I going to do, and what am I not going to do.
Ilona your amazing 🤩 75 & car camping & walking miles ❤ I hope you keep on enjoying your life for years to come. I keep myself to myself & try stay out of politics as I don’t trust or believe anything the government say !!
I just can't be bothered with people anymore I don't say nothing and pulled myself away 🙃 nobody will miss me lol 🎉 party time in my own head Enjoy your camping love your stories ❤
I’m the same, andrianna !! Most people just annoy me. Except for my kids, I’d rather be alone - I’ve gradually started pulling back from my “friends” , some family as well .
You look great at 75 ! Good advice. This comes at a good time for me since I am trying to come to grips with whether or not I should make a major life change at 72 . Follow my heart or logic?? I agree ! How annoying that people try to tell us what I should be doing when they have no understanding of my life. I actually resent such tiresome advice from ‘friends’ no matter how well meaning. ❤x
After yrs of thinking, worrying, I don't so much now. I follow my heart even if it's hard. Iwant to know why we are here and what is real what is fake. Nothing is what we thought, and that includes us. Thanks Illona
Hi llona I agree with you regarding living my life absolutely I am responsible What's gone on over the last 4 years has really opened my eyes It's made me stronger I live in the present moment I don't worry about the future None of us know what's around the corner I have no Fear Thank God
I am totally with you on this. I feel that I am constantly being led into how I should feel, act, and what I can and can not say. It's as though everything I have learned through my 64 years has to be unlearned and questioned..we are living through some very strange times and I can fully understand why so many people are now struggling with day to day life.
People are indeed struggling. They are withdrawing into themselves. It shows up when they comment on social media platforms. They lash out at anybody who dares to think differently to them. They are patronising without them even realising it. Anger has reached epidemic proportions. This behaviour is all down to fear peddling from Governments, who are on a path to opening borders and a one world globalisation plan. People need to start saying no, I do not comply, I will not go along with that. They need to wake up and take back their lives.
@meanqueensuperscrimper8908 Thank you for putting my thoughts so articulately. Some of the responses, even to the most balanced of viewpoints, are so offensive and aggressive that it can be quite frightening 🫣.. And from some of the responses to your post today, you can see why communities are breaking down because people (including me) are self protecting by keeping a distance from other people..the fresh air from our beautiful countryside has never been more needed .
Independent vs dependent. Balance of logic and heart is the goal. I lean more logical it has served me well. Individuals should live individual unique lives. Thanks for the video.
i have learnt not to trust my heart and impulsiveness as it has gone very wrong in the past. Now I am wiser and use my head. I love the rebel in you ! Critical thinking is a skill they SHOULD teach in schools.
I think we have all made mistakes with bad decisions in the past. As long as we learn from it, that's ok. We are all human. I see critical thinking as a long term function. Looking further than the nose on your face, and asking questions along the way.
:) and how many times people tell you what to do or what you "should be doing" but they have no idea what they are doing with their own lives? :) It's just their opinion, sometimes not a very concerned opinion, easier said than done. You are the one living with the consequences so :P just do whatever you want!
Hi Ilona, your like me, a thinker, sometimes it drives me mad😂. My heart hasn't ruled me for years, as I've got older I've got harder, I love being older you don't care as much😂. You will live to be 100 lady, as long as you keep clear of the nhs😉
Yeah I know what you mean it’s a real bummer sometimes. But unless it’s a law with a purpose which is of benefit to me it’s just a case of smile nicely and just ignore it. We all know right from wrong and how to be good to each other. The rest is of very little consequence.
Ilona you are so right. I also choose to live my life how I wish, I don't get involved with the social or political agendas of the world. I am not one bit interested in the way the world is today. None of us know how much time we have, so enjoy what you enjoy and be who you are and do it for as long as you are able xxxxx
I sometimes wonder if those in charge are deliberately trying to sow division and dissension amongst us to make it easier to push mad policies on us. I think they want us to be less neighbourly, communal and respectful to each other as it makes it easier to gradually exclude different members of the population. Society has become very polarised and I guess the best way to resist that is not going along with these divisive tactics that are creeping into all aspects of life.
Hi Ilona, Yes, I definitely get out into nature asap every morning. This morning, I watched my cats chase and almost catch a squirrel. Fifteen minutes in nature sets the world right for me. I'm 74 and just can't believe it! I am so thankful not to have to work or deal with office politics. My office is a backyard or local park full of birds. One of my neighbors is a birder. He's one of the top 10 in our county. Yesterday, on his walk less than a mile from my house, he spotted 42 varieties of birds behind a school and next to the Ohio River. Hey, have a happy day, whatever you do.
I have been following you, on and off, since you started your blog (not vlog). I think you had just retired, around 2008/9? I am now 59, 60 in May, about to make the same decision you did about retirement, my choice.
Wise words Ilona. I’m a 51 yr old female and I’m so disillusioned and dismayed with the world we live in now. I long to be back in the early 90s surrounded by loved ones I’ve lost over the years. My dream is to leave this country as it’s not so GREAT anymore. I hate the way we are all being controlled and I hate the people who are sheep and believe all the hype and lies we are drip fed. I don’t watch the news anymore and I haven’t bought a newspaper for 7 years. Wake up people. 😩😩🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐾🐾🐾
I too am finding it difficult to come to terms with what is happening. The world is changing, and not for the better. I try to keep busy, having days out is a good distraction.
Profound 🏅. Chat …just what I needed today.. I appreciate You… Relying on myself for everything I find daunting 👵🏻. due to Family Estrangement 😭…. 🌎🇦🇺🦘🍂

I agree 👍 although I'm sure you would be missed 😊
75?!?! Wow you are awesome 😃
It's your life, you do as you please. You shouldn't have to explain yourself to anybody. Dance your dance. ❤
You look great at 75 !

Hi llona
I agree with you regarding living my life absolutely I am responsible
What's gone on over the last 4 years has really opened my eyes
It's made me stronger
I live in the present moment
I don't worry about the future
None of us know what's around the corner
I have no Fear
Thank God
You are an amazing lady ❤

Love your videos! Your amazing!
Hello from London Ky 🎉❤ love your channel. I watch you a lot!
I sometimes wonder if those in charge are deliberately trying to sow division and dissension amongst us to make it easier to push mad policies on us. I think they want us to be less neighbourly, communal and respectful to each other as it makes it easier to gradually exclude different members of the population. Society has become very polarised and I guess the best way to resist that is not going along with these divisive tactics that are creeping into all aspects of life.
Well said

Hi i agree the world is a mess
Take care x
Hi Ilona, Yes, I definitely get out into nature asap every morning. This morning, I watched my cats chase and almost catch a squirrel.
Fifteen minutes in nature sets the world right for me. I'm 74 and just can't believe it! I am so thankful not to have to work or deal with office politics. My office is a backyard or local park full of birds.
