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.

I’m sorry you know this pain, my sis passed in 2015, I was struggling so much I said to my husband that I needed a few days to myself, he understood and off I went for a week in a camping ground ( a safe one) off the grid, I hiked in the morning with a dog that would not leave me alone in the mountains, I believe he was taking care of me, I just talked to GOD, I just needed to grieve, when I was home I was trying to hard to stay strong for everyone until I just couldn’t, after I allowed God to heal me, I remember my sister every day but without pain, I’m just so grateful for the memories and because she’s not here, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t exist, I pray you’ll find peace too. 🤗

Beautiful. After I lost my husband in 2015 I had to get away. I decided to move to Panama Central America. It was the best thing I could have done to deal with my grief. I was down there for about 4 years. They had a saying that Panama was a place to reinvent yourself. I loved it. Now I live in Missouri. I love my life here. I'm 70 now and not looking back. Oh and by the way I'm from GA too. Keep blessing us with your music.

Hello beautiful Melinda... I love this song of yours, as I love your other songs. And I always look forward to your words of love and wisdom in your musical videos. I discovered your KZhead videos very recently, like about a month ago, and I'm so happy I found you. There are no earthly words to describe how much you have brought to my life since I found you online. I thank God for that. When I was 22 (I'm 67 now), my beloved brother tragically took his life due to chronic depression. He was only 26. I was the one who found him after he shot himself, and I've never been the same since. My brother was a warm, funny, brilliant person. He was a self-taught phenomenal guitarist, songwriter and singer. He loved nature and hiking and backpacking in the mountains. I see and feel him in a lot of your songs. I love you, Melinda. You are a beloved gift from God to all who have discovered you, online or otherwise. Much Love, Audrey from Southern California ❤

Life is short everyone - and tomorrow is promised to no one, so live for today. What a wonderful blessing that you showed up in my YT feed this morning. In the process of reinventing myself in my early 70s. Getting ready to sell my home of 23 years, buying a smaller rv, taking my sweet dog and hitting the road to see this huge, wonderful country of ours while I can still fish, hike, swim, and get around on my own. Thank you Melinda - Someone knew I needed this.

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.
@@myfirstnamemylastname2994 One doesn't make it to 60 if they haven't stared down plenty of challenges, I reckon.

My sister passed away February 19, she was only 29 and my best friend. When I can’t fall asleep, I listen to this. Thank you
I am so sorry for your loss. The pain is so raw when the bond is so strong. Making space to grieve, in your own way, honours your bond. Bringing her joy to life via your being, may bring comfort, when you're ready. Being self compassionately is vital.
I am sorry about your sister😢. May God's Blessings be upon you🙏❤️.
Im so sorry for your loss . My sister passed as well 2/20/24 . I feel your pain hang in there ❤
Sorry for your loss, give yourself all the time you need to grieve and I hope it heals your wounds
I’m sorry you know this pain, my sis passed in 2015, I was struggling so much I said to my husband that I needed a few days to myself, he understood and off I went for a week in a camping ground ( a safe one) off the grid, I hiked in the morning with a dog that would not leave me alone in the mountains, I believe he was taking care of me, I just talked to GOD, I just needed to grieve, when I was home I was trying to hard to stay strong for everyone until I just couldn’t, after I allowed God to heal me, I remember my sister every day but without pain, I’m just so grateful for the memories and because she’s not here, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t exist, I pray you’ll find peace too. 🤗
I'm 65. Still playing trumpet and trombone. I enjoy it. You must do things. Stay active. Find purpose. Aging is not for sissies. Stay in your faith and tell your family you love them often.
Having a purpose is key. You can lose your purpose at 39 and age a decade instantly.
You're so right! Aging is not for sissies. Lol

Beautiful. After I lost my husband in 2015 I had to get away. I decided to move to Panama Central America. It was the best thing I could have done to deal with my grief. I was down there for about 4 years. They had a saying that Panama was a place to reinvent yourself. I loved it. Now I live in Missouri. I love my life here. I'm 70 now and not looking back. Oh and by the way I'm from GA too. Keep blessing us with your music.

♡♡ You and I share a similar life. ♡♡ Old high school sweethearts of grad '72 , my wife passed on in 2015. My reinvention was mired in retrospection, but I have taken many steps over these past 8½years. Now I'm in a different city in a different climate with new and different love interests . Change is GOOD

I'm 72 years old now and after my husband passed away in 2017, 17 yrs we had together, I ended up selling everything and I bought a house on the island of Cozumel Mexico and have lived here for a year and a half. I struggle with health problems but I still get out and snorkel about once a week and go out to lunch an overall love living here. I am in the process of putting in a swimming pool right now.
I'm 23 and have been out of a job for 4 months, struggling to find security in friends, a job, life-- It's an everflowing state of transition. But on my journey to find inner peace and happiness, I tripped over this song along the way. I want to thank you for giving me the strength to find patience with myself and life through your beautiful melody.
My love to your strength and courage to perservere...it helps others to keep going too...🎶💜
Please have patience and loving kindness for yourself. I'm 58 and remember my twenties as being a time of feeling so much pressure to know who I was. Trust me, you can drop the pressure to be a certain way; there are more ways of being than we can comprehend. ❤
Be the storm.🧃
Drop all the fear and road blocks of negativity. Live with an open heart, joy and love and paths will open. Follow your passion…❤️

I'm 70, and much about my life is uncertain. You reminded me that there still is love, joy, and beauty in people. Bless you. ❤
Its not meant to be a break, but a lesson to carry along with the rest of it.
There’s a part of you that’s free There’s a part of you in change While you’re here on your way back home, life is your own Oh there are some things that you’ve got to see And there are some places you’ve got to go KEEP GOING While you’re here, on your way back home Choices are your own The only hero you will find is a common man Or the one living in your mind And after all of this is said and done It’s you you’re trying to find The only clue is love The only tool is learning that While you’re here, on your way back home Really not alone The only hero you will find is a common man Or the one living in your mind And after all of this is said and done Well it’s you you’re trying to find.. Huh, the only clue is love The only tool is learning that While you’re here, on your way back home, really not alone While you’re here, on your way back home, not alone

Your gifts are many, and you are obviously inspiring others as you have inspired me. How extraordinary to put yourself out there and bring such light and beauty to the world. Thank you, and God bless you ❤
Ahh, I 'm so sorry to read about the loss of your son. Maybe your son will help you learn the guitar and then maybe you can write songs together with him channelling either the music or the lyrics to you or both.😊🎸
TrueFire is a great source for lessons online and it will be cheaper $99 for the year...when on sale (often.) What are you learning now? Are the lessons coming along?
@nickiehartmusic my hopes and expectations exactly! ❤️❤️❤️ already feeling his help 💕
@UTAH100 thanks for the info, I will look into it! I actually searched far and wide for the instructor we had for both our boys. Finally found him, he had moved! He was/is incredible and I was amazed how much my boys learned in such a short time! I also like spending time with people who've been a part of my son's life...makes me feel closer to him. I've got an up and coming grandson who would like lessons, so yes, cheaper may be a good thing!

I am 71. I was born free gifted by God. I struggle that’s part of it. God keeps His promise. Good thoughts and music. Bless you All Blessed to be here. 👏🏻✝️♥️🕊️
Listening, learning and thinking about "how to re-create this troubled life I'm living now... Surrounded by self-centered, irresponsible people who depend on me, and fighting against unfavorable circumstances that have made my life difficult for a few years... I ask God for the strength to start over again. Thank you very much for posting this video with this beautiful song..! Watching from São Paulo, Brazil..!🙏
Tamo junto, Irmão! Força na caminhada
Same here. Praying for you!
✌🏻❤️🙏🏻
I walked away and all the people who ‘needed me’ found someone else. Now I am FREE. You can be too.

Beautiful song, beautiful music,and a beautiful lady. Beautiful voice.
What a fabulous way you play music and convey the most important message of living our life as we age. And you do it with such grace and wisdom! 🫶🙏💐
Greetings from Istanbul, Turkiye, 70 years old. Love your voice and song, beautiful scenery, take care friend bye bye ❤😊
Hello beautiful Melinda... I love this song of yours, as I love your other songs. And I always look forward to your words of love and wisdom in your musical videos. I discovered your KZhead videos very recently, like about a month ago, and I'm so happy I found you. There are no earthly words to describe how much you have brought to my life since I found you online. I thank God for that. When I was 22 (I'm 67 now), my beloved brother tragically took his life due to chronic depression. He was only 26. I was the one who found him after he shot himself, and I've never been the same since. My brother was a warm, funny, brilliant person. He was a self-taught phenomenal guitarist, songwriter and singer. He loved nature and hiking and backpacking in the mountains. I see and feel him in a lot of your songs. I love you, Melinda. You are a beloved gift from God to all who have discovered you, online or otherwise. Much Love, Audrey from Southern California ❤
Audrey - 'I love you' for the beautiful person you are. 💗
Oh Audrey 😍thank you for sharing your story🙏 it will help so many...like it has me💘 Sending Great Gratitude & Appreciation, Big Blessings & LOVE, Many Mercies & Compassion and All the Luck & Joy🍀✌🏽❤🙏🇨🇦May All be Free from Suffering
Melinda is a Light worker! I hope she realizes that truth...
❤
Seems the songs and messages are a healing balm for you. Hope you shine bright and rise above the trauma. Live you best life, in memory of your brother.
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."
💥🙏🎉🎊🌻
Это роскошно! Браво! Привет с Северного Кавказа, Россия❤
Life is short everyone - and tomorrow is promised to no one, so live for today. What a wonderful blessing that you showed up in my YT feed this morning. In the process of reinventing myself in my early 70s. Getting ready to sell my home of 23 years, buying a smaller rv, taking my sweet dog and hitting the road to see this huge, wonderful country of ours while I can still fish, hike, swim, and get around on my own. Thank you Melinda - Someone knew I needed this.
God sent you to my heart this morning god is love i really needed to hear this song. Old country boy here from VA ❤

Она поет...., а у меня в памяти юность, хиппи, рванные джинсы и кеды... Да, и это тоже Россия, детка... Тогда мы любили вас....
I am from Rome, Italy. Thank you for inspiration e happiness you send to me with your songs
Thankyou for your grace Melinda, your an awesome person and you have such a beautiful soul!!! ❤❤❤❤ keep spreading the love, joy and unity!!! 😊
You are a gift from God. You speak with the wisdom of the ages and you make that 12 string sing. Thank you.
With arthritis no less. 12 strings aren't easy to play.
Loved this. I grew up in the folk generation and this was so good. Thank you.
Love you, Grandma 👵 ❤️ 💗 💕 💙 💓 👵
Beautiful view, beautiful guitar, beautiful jacket, beautiful smile, beautiful jewelry, beautiful voice, beautiful words, and a beautiful song. I’m 19 and feel as though I just fell in love for the first time again, love makes no sense! Thank you for having such a wonderful soul!
Oh Melinda 🤗it is such a WONDERFUL thing that YOUR LOVE is reaching THOUSANDS of More Hearts 💕HEALING & HELPING US ALL🌱💚 THANK YOU for sharing & making the WORLD a Better Place 💯 🙏may all the BLESSINGS come back to you 💘
Vielen dank für den wundervollen Song, die wundervollen Gedanken... ❤️ Liebe Grüße from Germany.
Oh Wow ! I’ve never been so inspired by both her music and her easy chat. I’m almost 70 year old woman and I’m off now for a little reinvention 🙏💕
Age is never a barrier to a passion. Thumbs up to this woman of substance.
Talk about reinvention... yes, after losing the love of my life and still mourning, I am in the process of doing just that at age 75! I moved to another state, joined two choirs, resumed my guitar lessons. Thank you, Melinda, you touched my heart! God bless you richly!
Exactly; I've had to reinvent myself a couple times after abrupt losses, change of fortunes... Glad you are sticking with your music!
You're doin great, young lady! 👏 I know 60 year Olds who've tapped out.
I lost my love 3 months ago 💔 I'm just running on faith. I'm going to be happy in my new direction s
@@susanmcgill7048 You are ready to move beyond it, but recognize Grief might ambush you in unguarded moments. It means you are healing. Don't countenance people who might tell you how long you are 'allowed' to grieve. I SO wish you strength when you need it! XO
I lost my honeycomb 3 yrs ago and, still grieving bc I miss him all the time. But, I can handle this loss much better now... time works wonders. 🙏 Re-invent? The only constant in life is change. So, I'm always re-inventing! 😂 God bless you dear. 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful! You brought me happiness. I love your heart. ♥️✝️🙏☘️
I'm an eighteen year old Brazilian and you made me cry on a Wednesday afternoon!!! thank u !!
Super! I'm 68. I'm from Russia. Peace and goodness to everyone.

I’m so glad the lovely Jonna Jinton found you for me. It’s so important for the world now to have ambassadors like you spreading your unconditional love and light out to everyone. I love ya too Melinda and bless you x
You Helped me Find This Channel So Bless You Beautiful 🌞 Sun ❤
Jonna Jinton fan here! Guess that’s why this video showed up in my feed. I took up guitar again just recently at 67 and it’s so nice to see other women-and men share their skills and beauty with the world, not just the whipper-snappers…🙌🙌🙌🏄♀️🌸🏝😉😆
Es ist ein Wunderschönes Lied. Melinda vielen Lieben Dank für Deine Herzerwärmenden Worte Du bist ein Toller Mensch, es ist schön das es Dich gibt.💜
Da stimm ich dir zu! 😌🧚
As soon as this popped up I got emotional.Reminded me of ME. Loving nature, playing my acoustic, getting older. More days behind than ahead. What really matters today? What always mattered, but we let life and mistakes fog our brains. I'm from Central PA and I've been away from my family for 7 years! I've been away from the grass, the woods, the streams, the snow. I'm now in Prescott AZ. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. My dad died when I was 17. As a young woman, I’ve often missed listening with him to his favorite 70s songs, which this reminds me so much of. This song breaks and heals my heart simultaneously in its simple truths. He would have loved this. Tysm for sharing ❤️
What a treasure,God , please bless this phenomenal woman with long life and good health.
I'm paraphrasing, but, "your only clue is love and your only tool is learning that you're not alone." I really like that message, thanks
So beautiful: the song, the scenery and the soul of this woman.
From a Polish heart thank You to You Dear Faraway Friend
I'm so glad that I found my way to this lovely video. I'm 26 and love music. Watching and listening to this lovely lady sing and play her guitar. It was something special for me to listen to, Thanks.
When I start trifling over silly stuff, I remind myself there's a beautiful lady on a mountain somewhere singing a song. And this helps me a lot 💚
Immensely profound! Thank you. 🌞🌿🌞
🎶🐦🌧️☔🌷🌷🌷🌱🎶🎶🐦 I was in a Bookstore and bought myself a couple of drawing pads, assorted pencils and a travel size watercolor set. It's Time to take Up where I left off . 🙏🎶🐦🌷🌷🌷💗
Beautiful song. Those guitar strings really touched my feelings. Thank you, ma'am, for bringing such beautiful collors to my heart ❤
Mẹ yêu ơi! Con chỉ mới vừa nhìn thần thái của mẹ là con thích rồi! Rất tuyệt vời! Con chúc mẹ luôn luôn nhiều sức khỏe, ngập tràn năng lượng và hạnh phúc! Yêu mẹ!
Трогательная, красивая песня! Спасибо большое, Мелинда, за проникновение, за любовь! Я так благодарна Богу, что открыла тебя для себя! С Любовью из России, город Владимир.
Russia is a terrorist state!!!
The essence of humanity, a voice to calm the troubled soul and a vision to give you renewed hope. Beautiful!!!!!
