Synopsis
In the midst of a myriad of tumultuous changes in her family and career, Katrina Kenison writes about having the discipline and awareness to appreciate the hidden pleasures of everyday life. Kenison and her husband decided to move out of the only home her two teenage sons had ever known, a fateful choice which set off a chain reaction of major changes for her family. After some adverse temporary living situations, they opted to build a new home in a rural town, but then Kenison lost her job as the editor of THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES series. Meanwhile, her oldest son was trying to find the right college as her younger boy adjusted to his new high school. At the center of the drama, she finds a fresh appreciation for the rare serenity of an ordinary day, which in turn grants her the peace of mind to help her guide her family through a season of stress.

  The Gift of an Ordinary Day
 A Mother's Memoir

softcover advance copy (not hardcover)

by katrina kenison

The Gift of an Ordinary Day is an intimate memoir of a family in transition-boys becoming teenagers, careers ending and new ones opening up, an attempt to find a deeper sense of place, and a slower pace, in a small New England town. It is a story of mid-life longings and discoveries, of lessons learned in the search for home and a new sense of purpose, and the bittersweet intensity of life with teenagers--holding on, letting go.

Poised on the threshold between family life as she's always known it and her older son's departure for college, Kenison is surprised to find that the times she treasures most are the ordinary, unremarkable moments of everyday life, the very moments that she once took for granted, or rushed right through without noticing at all.

The relationships, hopes, and dreams that Kenison illuminates will touch women's hearts, and her words will inspire mothers everywhere as they try to make peace with the inevitable changes in store.

    A word about bidding: Shoppers are often disappointed when someone places a higher bid and wins an item in the very last seconds of an auction.  I've also heard from disgruntled bidders about being "locked out" of an auction before it closed because ebay was sluggish, or even down.

    There is a way to prevent this from happening to you!
    If you're like most people and are unable to sit by the computer screen to bid in the last minutes of every auction, the best prevention is to let eBay do your bidding! It is called "proxy bidding" and here is how it works: When you bid on an item, rather than placing the minimum bid, place a bid that represents the highest amount you're willing to pay for that item. YOUR BID WILL REMAIN AT THE LOWEST LEVEL unless someone bids against you...in that case, eBay's system will bid for you, automatically bidding to the next level necessary for you to be the highest bidder ...
    up to your limit you have set

    But if you like the excitement of sniping,
    HAVE AT IT! have fun! and enjoy the rush!

     

    CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUR #1 PRIORITY! THANKS FOR SHOPPING
