Mine is focus on family and golf. My Dr. suggested it was time for me to quit fighting and enjoy life. It made me think of early times when my biggest challenge was making a fish hook out of a safety pin. I was happy and no stress.

Getting outside and being part of life in nature always seems to be therapeutic. It prepares one to add people to the mix - when trusting people has lead to problems that require recovery.
