In this collection of his essays and writings, James Emerson Hough reflects on the serenity of retirement living in the middle of his own private Certified Forest Preserve and Wildlife Habitat in Southeast Indiana, the inspiration it engenders to be creative, and the ability to focus his thinking. He finds it rewarding to share his perspective, but the selfish reason he writes is that it makes him a better person. When asked why he writes, Mr. Hough admits that writing helps keep his mind alert and head on straight. He’s inspired to read and unlock novel ideas in his mind, research them, and develop compelling techniques to put them together in writing. Writing is his habit. He knows that no one can write anything who does not think that what they write is for the time history, or do anything well who does not esteem their work to be of importance. Old age has yet to creep on the author’s mind, and wisdom will never let him stand with another on unfriendly footing. For him to write what will not become obsolete is to write sincerely to himself while attempting to satisfy his own curiosity. Where Mr. Hough found peace of mind, peace of mind was waiting there.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends, the most patient of teachers, and the most accessible and wisest if counselors. Worthwhile books that get into the world are written by successful people who utter what tens of millions feel though they cannot say. Certain books are vital, not leaving readers what they were; they shut the book a richer person. Finding Peace of Mind and Keeping It is full of energy.

Almost great
Color: Black
Watch is well made, and has mineral crystal, not plastic. It fits nice and is comfortable. The bad is that the watch has virtually no luminous qualities and the day and date is hard to read. Other than that it is a great value if you can get by with the small characters on the watch face. The crown is not screw down and can occasionally pull out so the time changes

Good little watch, bear in mind the price point that it is at that though.
Color: Black
The design I love. It’s minimal, not flashy, but good looking all around. It is a matte black finish, which looks pretty good. The glass definitely seems to be scratch resistant in the first couple days I’ve been wearing it. not 100% precise with setting the time with the dial, but after a couple times, I got it to be right on point. It has stayed on time the last couple days. However, if you look at the price point of this item, it is cheap. The material does feel high-quality, not made of the Chineseium that you’d find on crap these days. The date and day of the week, however, seem to be stuck, and some of the days that I saw by manually reversing the hands were misspelled. If you’re not bothered by those things, this seems to be a good watch for the money. Just keep in mind it’s not perfect.

"Stylish and Functional Guess Wallet!"
This is a fantastic wallet that combines style and practicality! The sleek black design features the iconic Quattro G monogram print on the leather (or faux-leather). It has a contrasting stripe with the "GUESS" logo on the front, giving it a modern and sophisticated edge. Despite its slim, compact silhouette, it offers great organization. It typically includes multiple card slots, slip pockets, a clear ID window, and a full-size bill compartment, providing ample space for all your essentials while keeping a flat profile in your pocket. Many customers appreciate the durable material and the high-end look without the high-end price. It often comes in a gift box, making it an ideal present for any occasion. Overall, it's a stylish and functional accessory that reflects the brand's fashionable legacy.

Best wallet ever!
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Red
Great wallet! Super slim, holds all my cards perfectly, not that I ever have cash to put in it anyway. At this point, it’s basically a stylish card organizer that reminds me I’m broke every time I open it. Still, it looks good, feels durable, and makes me look like I have my life together, until the card gets declined.
