I am interested in the current top 10 concerns you have in your life. As a blogger and life coach it would help me to better address the issues people are facing. It's real easy to assume everyone is facing say financial problems as that is on mainstream media daily, but I'd rather not assume. I'd rather consider the concerns of real people like yourself.
So, what are the things you are trying to problem solve? Please also add a brief bio like: married/single/divorced, male/female, parent/no children, occupation & age so I have some context for your situation. THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts!
My top 10 concerns:
1. The well being of my children. I worry about their choices and if I did a good enough job as a parent to ensure they have the tools necessary to make a good life for themselves.
2. I wonder about the implications of my own life choices - will I have to pay for past mistakes the rest of my life? And r those consequences so far reaching as to compromise quality of life and potential of my children and their futures?
3-1O: I worry about world affairs, end-time events, helping people, aging, finding true love, de-cluttering, simplifying my life, and finding my purpose or niche'
1) my children
2) my marriage - Won't expand here!
3) my job - How long do I want to stay in my current position
4) should I go to get my Masters Degree - The thought of the cost and time commitment frightens me
5) finances (and debt) - Not enough money to keep up
6) pets -
7) my daughter's disability and how it effects her life(and mine)
8) my aching back - it hurts to some degree every day
9) indecisiveness about issues pertaining to "all of these above"
10) did I post my "Proverb of the Day"?? LOL
My number 1 concern is people with 1 post playing internet psychologist....other than that, It's all good on my end oh wait I do have a concern you might be able to help me with........Get Karla to post the QOTD on time if you could do that........ you would be golden

My brother asked me this question a few months ago and my first response was my parents' health. since then my mom died and my dad is doing ok, so i am not worrying as much (just a little). worrying got me nowhere and so i really dont. except for worrying i'll run into a mountain lion while hiking.
everyone's forgetting to tell OP about themself a bit. me, married, 30ish, no children, work with children.
off topic- ketabcha, i had a cat with diabetes. this was 10 years ago but i didnt have to give insulin if i gave him a specific friskies food. let me know if you want me to try to remember the flavor.

How much longer will I be able to live independently?
The political division in the country and will we ever be a "united" people again?
What appears to be a "dumbing down" of students in the public school systems and how this will affect the country.
Ongoing family concerns.
The slow loss of national pride and sovereignty as the world moves more and more away from such concepts.
Which will last longer - me or the money?
The situation along the southern US border - violence, crime, failure to control illegal immigration.
The breakdown in the traditional family and how this will affect society, our culture and future generations.
Will a cosmic event wipe out the electrical grid in the next few years?
I'm 74, female, retired, not married, no children at home.
