May your 60's truly be a golden decade of growth, joy, and peace beyond any previous season of your life. You may find the writings of Edwin Friedman to be helpful in your pursuit and journey of growth. I found his last book, "A Failure of Nerve" to be one of the most profound and insightful books I've ever read. Shalom, Roger meg3450,

To paraphrase the apostle Paul, I want to be so much, but find I do what I don't want to do and don't do what I want to do. I love this Independence Day challenge and plan to take you up on it. I have a mentally ill family member, a fact which causes great stress, and I rarely react in a relationship-building manner. I want to work at responding in a constructive way at all times. I just turned 60 and have made it my quest to make the decade of the 60s the best of my whole life. This means I need to make the best of all my relationships, as well as to identify the self-worth that God made we with. I love this challenge.
