    Just some respectful thoughts from this older Texan lady:
    Your dog is perfect. Perfect size. Perfect temperment. Perfect friend.
    Actually, your dog reminds me of you; you remind me of her: both of you are lithe and lean and graceful, wholesome, beautiful, dusky and creamy colors and soft textures, energetic and playful, joyful and contented by the simple pleasures and freedoms of the day. You are well matched, easy companions, and y'all are a blessing to each other.
    I enjoyed your video together, and while watching I felt immense gratitude knowing 'this young lady and her pupper' are out in this world making it lovely with your presence. Truly, this reflection was a bit overwhelming, and quite unexpected. After watching, I had to go and give each of my children a deep and abiding hug of love. You did that; thank you.
    Thank you for you both and for sharing your videos. I pray you receive in return such abundant grace as you have freely given.
    Take care, and God bless you and Athena.
    You both are in my prayers from this day forward.

      oh my! You are truly the sweetest. I don’t even know what to say, I’ll start with thank you! 🤍 I read your comment multiple times. You are a beautiful writer and I’m so happy to have you here. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This means more to me than I can articulate! I’m wishing you and your family well, take care 💕

    I hope you continue to find peace, joy, and happiness in your life. I think the friendship you and Julia share is good for both of you based on what I’ve seen. I’m glad you find time to do TH-cam since you have a full time job. I’m 62 and was a teacher. I always wanted to be a teacher but the level of stress nearly destroyed me.
    I had to go on disability and while it isn’t much money I have found that having peace is much more rewarding. You’re a beautiful young lady and you deserve to enjoy what you do. Stay safe. Hugs and prayers 💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻🦋🌸

    I just came across this video a bit late but have been following you for a while! That is so cool you have a remote data entry job! I am a remote underwriter and watching your lifestyle makes me want to take extended trips (I own a house, unsure husband would want to uproot ugh lol). I have dealt with anxiety my whole life and am so glad the job change and environmental change was so positive for you, sometimes that is all we need is a bit of change and freedom. Thank you for taking us along with you, safe travels!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Many blessings to you! ..... Here's a tip on the flies... Learn to love black pepper because the flies and ants hate it. Sprinkle black pepper on your food or anything you don't want flies on. Fresh ground is best but the cheap stuff works too. They wont go near it. I am trying to figure out how to make it into a spray. I think you can get black pepper essential oil. Have a great day!

    So, Happy Birthday! Not a bad way to spend it... on top of a mountain with good company, indulging in "baked goods" and chocolate covered strawberries. You could do worse.
    Props to you for you for escaping the high stress job... many people never pull that trigger, and some end up with health problems because of it.
    You appear to be happy (and healthy), so I think you should be proud of where your are in your life. After all, tomorrow offers us a daily opportunity to make new choices.
    Oh, and walking barefoot on sharp rocks and mice? You're tough!

    I’m late to the game here, but I wanted to tell you that there are no rules in life. There is no one fig. I’m 43, and I grew up in Washington, spent 4 years in AZ for college, spent a decade living in Japan because I didn’t want to do what my degree was in. It was great. I did so many amazing things. I then spent several years in Hawaii because I wanted to be warm. Left because I felt claustrophobic on an island, lived in WA again for a few years and started a really amazing business, then did Skoolie life and full time travel. Went across the country, but had to come back last fall when my dad died and cat got sick. I’m still living in my schoolie, but have decided to downsize to a van next, and travel with my three remaining cats, so that’s the next phase I’m just starting to work on. I have so many plans for the future, too, like getting another degree and freelancing in another field for fun. I’ve worked in education, illustration, tv work, photography, books… there are no limits other than ones you set for yourself ❤ (privilege plays a part, of course, though)

    Happy belated Birthday to you Madilynn. I'm not even going to attempt to guess your age. If I guess too high, you might get shook up about it, and if I guess too low you might think I'm just being nice in a fake kinda way. Anyway, my Birthday is coming up in a few days, and if I told you how old I'm turning, you might not want to talk to me anymore (I'm old enough to be your Grandpa). 🤓 I'm happy to see that you decided not to leave Julia just yet. Stay together until you feel it's the right time to move on.
    We have baby caterpillars also that like crawling on the road here in Michigan where I live, it bothers me too because I know a lot can't be avoided. 😔

I guess that goes to show you that it really doesn't matter the age. I struggle with all the same things you do.
