Take a break and have a few laughs while you read this collection of essays by author G. M. Barlean. It's the simple things in this busy life that bring us together. We are all unique and yet so similar. Memories of childhood, school, and the routines of life have roots in not the spectacular, but in the most normal of activities. Sharing a meal, what we learn in school, how siblings and cousins find trouble to get into—life is sticky and fun. I choose to look at the bright side. This book is an anthology of memories adapted from posts on Barlean's blog, Moments of Clarity at gmbarlean.com.
