Dedication

To Bob and Dianne, for your example of finding balance at this stage of life. You two live with equal doses of purpose and pleasure—and we’re taking notes!

Love you both.

Thank you to my agent, Mary G. Keeley, of Books & Such Agency. Special thanks to Rachael, Eileen, and Cynthia for making collaboration so much fun.

And thank you to Toni and her kids for losing their van door and giving us a memory to laugh (and write) about. And to Cole, for sticking a bean in his ear and sparking an idea.

As always, thank you to Bill for patiently holding my kite string and reminding me to take time to “be still.”
I love you, Dr. Snuggles.

This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it
.

PSALM 118:24

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

PSALM 46:10
