Jim Chastain wrote the poems in this book when he knew his life was measured in months and weeks. Completing this collection was an item on his bucket list, and he worked at editing, revising and rearranging them until a few weeks before his death on December 24, 2009. But his poems are not morbid, and they are not without hope. On the contrary, they are the words of a man savoring, with mindfulness and humor, every moment whether doing ordinary chores, eating a good meal, or enjoying time with his wife and kids. In other words, living life moment by moment until the end. Jim's poems offer us a blueprint for doing the same.
