In the game of life, it helps to have a good but flexible game plan—especially when you’re behind.

We all have stories about our lives. Some wonderful. Some tragic. But we all have something else in common: However long or short the periods of smooth sailing are—you know, the ones perhaps hidden away between the periods of turbulence—they’re just waiting to burst out at any time! This regular guy takes the regular reader along the ups and downs of his own life’s journey, with touching, sometimes humorous anecdotes, and shares some simple ideas on how to increase one’s happiness, stressing the importance of family and friends, continual self-assessment, and the ability to adapt one’s mind-set along the way. He then challenges readers to go beyond mere reflection and to share their own stories with others. After all, this is a memoir about looking back and moving forward—together.
