Gary Hard looks back over the past 60 years of his life and shares nuggets of wisdom learned over the years. He spent half his life in Charleston S.C. and half in Kansas City, MO. His insight is predicated on a "Southern Mindset" coupled with an "Ah shucks" kind of Midwest values attitude. Many of his observations are pretty much common sense stuff and you probably already know common sense is not that common now a days. Gary's hope is to entertain and enlighten. You will find yourself agreeing many times with his observations. He recommends to remember the stuff you like and let go of the stuff you don't care for. Focus only on positive thoughts and you'll be a whole bunch happier as life goes by. This book is great to read while having a cup of coffee or hot tea. It also reads well with an adult beverage or two. If you like quotes, you'll enjoy this book. If you're looking for real deep thinking, heavy duty analysis kind of stuff you may be disappointed. It's a have fun, enjoy life kind of book.
