5.0 out of 5 stars Richness for Every Kind of Day, January 22, 2000

By A Customer

No matter what your day holds, check Cotner's book for a poem that applies. In tough times, "Endurance" may be just the thing. If you're grateful for other people, "Neighbors" or "Hot Tea Therapy" might echo your sentiments. When over-activity makes you frantic, read a piece beginning with "The Lord is my pace-setter, I shall not rush." Angels, disability, and even garage sales are more of the widely spread topics. This collection offers a pleasing mix of work by contemporary writers and by old favorites such as Thoreau, Lincoln, and Dickinson. Bless the Day is not a book to tuck away on a shelf: Keep it on a coffee table for easy consulting, by the phone to enrich minutes spent on "hold," or in your tote during special times away from home.
