I'm not afraid of aging anymore if this is what it's gonna be like. Thank you, kind, kind woman. I struggle with that.

Yes I've got arthritis in my hands and I'm trying to learn guitar in my mid-60s. I often feel sorry for myself because my fingers are stiff and sore and here she is. Clearly gifted and playing for a long time but our bodies betray us and usually I would think most people struggle a little bit because aging makes everything our body does harder. But you wouldn't know what listening to her. Like others I feel comforted about getting older. Getting older is totally unfair and it's hell but it's the universal disease and things like this take my mind off of that frequent daily angst. She is still herself and she looks pretty damn good too. Thank you for posting this video I wish we were Neighbors.

We're so alike. I'm 71, former nurse, great grandmother, and 4 years ago, my daughter and DIL sold our home and bought an RV and a diesel truck. We are visiting all of the states. We're at 42 and counting. I never in a million years thought that we would be doing this, but it's one of the best things I've ever done. I was staying home too much, and this has given me a new lease on life. Do something that you've always wanted to. I'm sending you positive energy to find your path.,❤🦋

This woman has given me confidence to start singing again. I am 78 years old now but in the past I composed several songs and sung them in different venues and these were made into four albums. Sadly, I haven’t sung for around 20 years having been overwhelmed by other things. People I used to know ask me why I don’t sing anymore. So it’s never too late to get the old vocal cords polished up! Thank you!

I'm hitting a major age milestone this year. Within the past 10 years, I have separated myself from a toxic narcissistic family and escaped a violent marriage. And "at my age" I was afraid that I got old without noticing and that my life was over without ever having actually begun. I have been so blessed to realize that that simply isn't the case. I have moved across the country, found work in one of the most beautiful places on earth, built a home, and have traveled to several continents. I'm in the process of reinventing myself yet again, but this time, not out of fear or desperation, but out of joy and a sense of adventure. Eat right, exercise, use your brain and your talents daily. Then getting old will take longer and won't be nearly as terrifying.

I reinvented myself at 50. I took a spiritual awakening trip to find out what really makes me happy. It turns out, as a child I loved to sing and write songs. I do that now, but am still unknown by most 5 years later. Just a small group on open mic friends and some musicians. Sometimes I want to quit. But I keep going because it feels like it runs in my veins.

Beautiful. I like songs with a meaningful message. Since retirement, my husband and I moved back near our hometown. We downsized to a century-old cottage, and I'm very much a part of a music community. I play a tenor ukulele, and sing mostly folk and country songs. My musician friends and I play in the community, at street fairs, rest homes, and weddings...and it's a wonderful surprise and "reinvention."

My favorite lines from this beautiful song: And there some things that you've got to see, And there some places you've got to go... When I here these chords, full of light, and these lyrics, I feel that every single day of our short life can be filled with something charming - if you decide to notice it, look closer to every simple thing,.. I hear this song and I want to live. Warmest regardsfrom 20 year old man, Russia.
