I keep this book by bedside ALL the time.
It is one of my "Comfort" books.
I have bought it for one of my own students.
This book is all about what it means to be human.
It is filled with stories and anecdotes that will
make you laugh, inspire you, touch your hear, cry, think,
and find comfort in your humanity and other' as well...
It is well worth the time to read and linger over.
Enjoy.

Enjoyable read. It is really an autobiography written with vignettes. The writer comes across as a nice person with a good heart and a fine sense of humor. Not a funny man like red skelton, or goofy. Not a religious extremist. A good neighbor.

The subtitle “The Holiness of Little Daily Dramas” describes the collection of life essays perfectly.
The ones that resonated with me most, during this stage of life that gets so many sad announcements of friends and family who have died, are the observations of grief.
Favorite quote:
“The phrase “time heals all wounds” is often a misunderstood. ... The wounds heal, but the tenderness remains. The years pass and the hurt subsides, but it surely never vanishes completely... as long as love endures.” P47
