I never thought I would be asking myself this question....much less anyone else. But now that I realize I am in the last season of my life I not only find myself asking that question but pondering the answers too. It doesn't matter that even if I find the answers...I just might not be able to live out those answers. What matters to me at this point is even knowing those answers. I think one of my questions right now is: "Who am I during this season of my life and is there anything I really had to put aside that I want to explore now that I have the time to do so?" In this last season of my life I don't want to just sit back and let it pass by...I want to live it to the best of my ability. How about you?
Well Babs, I don't know your age but your picture if recent would indicate that you are more MID SEASON than LAST SEASON. I on the other hand would be considered at age 82 to be LAST SEASON & I will continue living the GOOD LIFE to the best of my ability.
@Ren Tanner...my avatar picture was taken on Christmas Eve so it is very recent and just as God created me to be on that day. But this is the last season of my life whether it lasts for another five, ten, or twenty years. And I want to make sure that any unanswered questions or unfinished business is taken care of in this last season as best as I am able to.
Right now I have to sit alot too @Patsy Faye if I don't the vertigo and dizziness I'm dealing with right now makes me sway back and forth like a "drunken sailor". Down time is good though as I ponder and contemplate much better when I am sitting down...even when my head is spinning like a top!
OH Babs ! You suffer like me ? I didn't know, it scares me every time, we are so vulnerable when we have an attack - hugs to you x
This is all a new thing to me @Patsy Faye...I have always had mild ringing in my ears but never vertigo or these other new symtoms of something that is sneaking up on me. I hate that I could not go help my daughter move back in their home this past weekend because of this vertigo, etc. but my family and friends do not call me "snoop dog" for nothing and I will find sniff the problem out until I have the answer.
You need to establish if the problem is from the ears, then you can help the problem If it is the ears ongoing - then you are restricted in movement Dancing for instance can bring on an attack hours later
Well, being that I will be 68 this June and my wife will be one year older than that at the end of this month, we both "try" to live life as much as we can. Financially, we can't do some of the things we really like to do, like travel. But, when the weather is nice and warm, we like heading to the Range and shooting or getting our boat out on the water. My foot, from when I fell this past Oct., still gets achy at times. My left shoulder also gets achy, from osteoarthritis and post-rotator cuff surgery in 2015, but I can still walk on the foot and use the shoulder. IOW, we are much more active in the Spring, Summer and Fall of Florida than we are in the winter here. Our main concentration right now is where we will move to in a year or so. As far as your question goes, Babs.........we would like to just have some simple fun, relax and "smell the roses" and TRY to take care of our health.
I'm not going to stop singing or dancing while I'm living on my earthly home...I just may look and sound really "silly" to those who think it just has be done a certain way!
Ah, so vertigo is far more common than I suspected. Mine came on suddenly, over ten years ago, initially so severe it resulted in throwing up, and being forced to lie down in bed. After an hour or so, it subsided, and upon rising slowly, only minor symptoms remained. That sensation is unusual, in that it's not really dizziness, but rather an inability to completely acknowledge movements around me. For example, if someone tossed an object at me, which happened all the time years ago, I felt I would be unable to react suddenly, to catch it. The really bad episodes continued less and less frequently, perhaps once every few months. In the meantime, walking felt weird, not shaky, but rather unsure of my steps. Walk a straight line? Good thing no cop asked for it! Driving a car, no problem at all. Doctor prescribed motion sickness medication; it seemed to make the symptoms worse. Gradually, over the years, symptoms of serious dizziness have become rare, just that lingering, somewhat shaky sensation remaining. So, apparently, vertigo does not always worsen, or persist in severity. Frank
Forgive me Babs but I haven't been in the LOOP and am now assuming that you have a Medical Condition that would put you in the LAST SEASON of your life. LAST SEASON OF LIFE sounds very FATALISTIC and not at all POSITIVE. What ever the case I wish you well and send you POSITIVE THOUGHTS.
Oh my gosh @Ren Tanner...nope! The last season of my earthly life is not fatalistic and not at all negative. It will only lead to my eternal life. But I hope that each "season" of my earthly life will be the best God meant it to be...and it can't be that way to me...if I don't even give any thought to it.
@Ren Tanner Your picture, if recent looks like a man who may mean that you really do wish me happiness too. I wish you the same Ren but more then that Ren I wish and pray that if the Bible is Truth that you would "know" that truth and God your Father and Jesus your Savior before you end the last "season" of your life here on earth....so that your can enter the eternal "season" of your life with the many of the ones you loved here on this earth.
