Synopsis

An inspiring collection of thoughts to take with us on the paths we travel in life.

For all the roads we choose to travel, and even those we don't, Fred Rogers has an observation, a story, some insights to share. Whether you're facing graduation, a new job, a new baby, marriage, any change in your life--expected or not--the wisdom that Mister Rogers offers can contribute mightily to the grace with which you handle the change.

With sections titled Who You Are Right Now, Loving and Being Loved, and Guided Drift, Fred addresses the scope of human transitions. It all comes down to knowing we're valuable, and that we're worthy of that value. As Fred would say, "You don't have to be anything more than who you are right now."

In her foreword, Joanne Rogers shares the Fred she knew. With stories from their life together, the joys as well as the struggles, Joanne shows how Fred looked at life as a journey--with the ups and downs and in-betweens.

I admit I started reading it thinking it would be amusing with some throwaway generic advice, but now after finishing I feel that Mr. Rogers has made an impact on my life.

Loved it. Each quote is wonderful, but some of my top favorites are: "There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind.

Goodreads review by Tara on May 20, 2009

Several years ago I was driving down the freeway and saw a billboard. It was simple; an empty hanger, a pair of shoes, a phrase that read, "We'll miss you, Neighbor." Mister Rogers had just passed away, and I broke into tears. I'd always loved Mister Roger's Neighborhood as a child, and I felt like......more
