We share some nuggets of wisdom we have gathered during our fiftysomething years on this bluegreen rock, and we try to fashion it into advice….

* Use “I” statements

* Don’t take things personally; own your own experience

* “Expand your threshold before your recoil” (respond instead of reacting, and be aware of the “unseen possibility”)

* Don’t shun the shadow side of yourself; integrate it

* Recognize emotions as a somatic experience, versus stories we attach to them

* Be here now; fully see and accept the present moment

Then we talk for a while about how some of this wisdom has helped us navigate parenting, marriage, and divorce.
