Personal Reflections

LOOKING BACK ON MY PATH

 

This series of small books contains observations of life - some serious, some thought-provoking, and some humorous. Some were made by the author, Jay Moynahan, and some by others. All were collected as Jay traveled his path through life during the year. He pokes fun at himself as well as at others. The quotes he recalls are from well-known, little-known and unknown people. All are presented for pondering, questioning and, in many cases, remembering.

Life is a series of lessons that are derived from the experiences and people one encounters. Sometimes distance from the experience is required before the lesson becomes clear. But the lesson is always there.  One must remember that we are all students in life and are all on our own path.

Originally written for himself and shared with friends, Jay was encouraged by many readers to make them available to others. Volume VI is the first book to be formally published.
