...I was given this book by a lovely lady three years ago...

for Christmas!   My guess is that I was not ready to read it. Took it to Bolivia, for some reason; this past holidays I found it, serendipity I would love to call it, and had one of the best times reading it. Although I am at a different stage in my life than Katrina Kenison, the book gave the pleasure to remember those millions of moments I had with my family and the simple gifts of the ordinary days of our lives. 

I highly recommend this book -  http://www.katrinakenison.com/order-now/
