"I appreciated the life lessons Robert Fulghum thoughtfully reminds himself to hold dear. His sense of humor about dealing with our path through life is charming and unpretentious. It was a joy to revisit what one easily forgets while living the day to day. Thanks, I needed this!"

    " I remember feeling stupid for liking this book when I read it but enjoyed it just the same. My oldest daughter was in Kindergarten at the time so I had a front row seat. I've never been an Idealist and it was hard for me to give up and just let go. I'm glad I did "
