If by chance, you don't understand yourself; you don't understand why you are the way you are, take the time to reflect on your past. Many answers are there waiting for you. It may not be the easiest thing you have ever attempted, but it might just be the most rewarding. In It All Matters, the author searches his past to better understand himself. He recalls his childhood and the people and experiences that most affected him. He relives his early adult years: a time of challenge, accomplishment, and disappointment. Retirement brings frustration in an ever changing world he neither likes nor understands. All described with enough wit to keep one laughing and thirsting for more. A dog helps to free restrained love. A man of the cloth shows him the way, and he turns to God. A son falls to stress, and he himself is threatened by illness. His faith is challenged.
