Thoughts From the Bench of Life - Paperback

by Debbie Meehan (Author)

If you are lucky enough to observe the world from the bench of life you truly are blessed.

Have you ever taken the time to sit back and just observe life? To watch the kids on the baseball field or the moms picking up their children from school? Do you ever take the time to reflect on your blessings? Or do you just worry about your problems-and we all have problems.

Debbie Meehan, a long-time journalist and observer of life, is the author of her hometown newspaper in Colonia, NJ. These stories are drawn from the countless people she has interviewed over the years, from the police officer at the Twin Towers on 9/11 to local kids just doing good deeds, to the organizers of a school celebration of children with autism.

Meehan reflects on the positive and the personal. She finds the good and brings it to light. Whether you read the book from cover to cover, or just flip to any page, you will find inspiration and hope.

"As the winds of life blow there are millions of little fragments that find their way to cling on to us. Sometimes, you have to shake off the dust, keep the pieces that shine...let the wind blow the rest away."
