Aging On The Homestead: Health Crisis and Learning to Learn

After being away for several months, we're back on YouTube, and we're excited to reconnect with all of you! During our time away, we've been navigating some unexpected challenges. Ron has been suffering from chronic joint pain that came on suddenly, and it's been a tough journey. But through it all, we've learned valuable lessons about working with our bodies and seeking ways to overcome health crises as we age.As we continue on our homesteading journey, we're embracing the changes that come with the seasons—both in nature and in our lives. Our off-grid (mostlyoff grid) homestead may not always be easy, but it’s where we find peace, purpose, and a deeper connection with each other and with God. In this video, we want to share where we have been and why and our plans for the future, with the Lord's blessing.Our vision for the channel moving forward is to focus on our Christian walk and encourage fellow "oldsteaders" (older homesteaders) who are facing similar struggles. We know that getting older comes with its challenges, but it also brings victories, wisdom, and the grace of God. We’re excited to continue sharing our journey, the highs and lows, and the ways we’re learning to age gracefully while staying true to our homesteading roots.Through our videos, we hope to inspire, share practical tips for homesteading in later years, and encourage others to lean into the Lord and trust His guidance in every season of life. We’re all in this together, and we can’t wait to walk alongside you as we grow, learn, and continue living the simple, purposeful life we love.Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re looking forward to what's ahead, and we hope you’ll join us as we continue to embrace the changes that come with age, health challenges, and the joy of living off the land.
