Snippets from an Ordinary Life

About the Book

Lily is 60 and wondering what to do with the rest of her life. As 60 is the new 40, there is a lot of it left to live so what is she to ado with it?

She could join something, take up a new interest, learn a language, all these options that people were forever suggesting to her. Surely there was more to life than this. She was not ready for shuffleboard or cribbage just yet, that would come soon enough and does not as yet bear thinking about.

What was she to do in the meantime, what do ordinary people do these days?

Was there a point to it all and if so, what was it?

She felt there was a role in life for everyone and she just wanted to find her own. So Lily take herself on a journey of self-discovery hoping that at the end she will have found the answer.

About the Author

I wanted to write about a stage in life that seems to have no place. Like many others I am at that point, in my 60s and as no one as yet seems to have addressed this issue. I thought I would give it a try.

I was born in the UK and have worked for many years in public libraries in Cheshire and Toronto. I am presently living in Victoria B. C with my dog Gus and still searching for the meaning to it all.
