Wanda's Diary Entries
Friday, December, 16, 2005
For the last several weeks, I’ve been working on a magazine article on life’s “second acts.” The concept is that often when you approach the age of 50 (though it could be a younger or older milestone birthday), you realize that you will not be here forever and you start searching for what you were really meant to do in life, to make contributions of genuine and lasting meaning. Leonard Kniffel, editor-in-chief of American Libraries magazine, was 49 when his mother died. Almost immediately, he began planning to write a book tracing his roots to his grandmother’s homeland: Poland. The result is a new book published earlier this year by Texas A&M Press, A Polish Son in the Motherland. It is wonderful and well worth reading.
Frank’s and my work with simple living is certainly our “second act.” Work which we feel makes a valuable contribution to making our world a better place.
