HOW ABOUT NOW?

As we go about creating a map for our adventures in aging, we are beginning by taking a look at wherever you are at this point in your life.  In the last post we queried ourselves about what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and now we need to scan our minds about some of the current challenges we face:

In order of their importance, please create a list of the challenges you face in your life right now?

The challenges you face may be physical, mental, emotional, or situational. As an example of the latter, many of us are are currently trying to figure out how to support ourselves in this time of economic turmoil? Or we find ourselves questioning just how long we can continue to work, even though what we will live on when we stop working is going to be a major problem.  These are serious problems for a whole lot of people, and ones which will have to be addressed by the society as a whole as well as by individuals stuggling to find answers for themselves. 

Be sure you keep your list up to date as things can change in a heartbeat, and believe it or not it helps to refer to this list when things seem kind of overwhelming. Plus we will be working with issues that relate to things based on what you are experiencing at this time and how they will impact your future situation.
