"Consolation to ordinary people who sometimes wonder why they bother to get out of bed in the morning."-Jean Kerr

For myself I find solace in this book and understanding that I am no better than the next person.-Helen

The feeling this book gave me was a spiritual and fulfilling venture into her existential philosophy on love and life.

The fact that I took notes on her life lessons. I expected to have an enjoyable and leisurely read instead this book made me want to get up and live life.

Create a lesson plan on living day to day life. I found a perspective that I could take from and make my own days seem worthwhile.

Like I could be so much more with my time. Taking advantage of the time I have with my family without taking them for granted.

Mrs. L'Engle has the sharpest perspective I have come across in an authors writing. She has the honesty that I strive to maintain in my own work. I can't say enough about her that hasn't already been said except "well done."

It is a take along book. You can go wherever and get some perspective along the way.

If you don't have the time to read then you don't know what you're missing.
