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.

Love it
I’ve been using this desk drawer organizer for a few weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The wooden design is sleek and has a nice, natural feel to it—plus, it’s sturdy and looks great on my desk. The compartments are perfectly sized for holding pens, a calculator, my watch, and even glasses. I love that it keeps everything neatly in place, so I no longer have to deal with a cluttered desk. The pen holder is a nice bonus; it can easily hold all the pens and pencils I need. It’s a compact size but still holds everything I use daily. The quality is fantastic, and it really elevates the look of my workspace. Definitely recommend this organizer if you want a practical and stylish way to keep your desk neat!
