Beauty of the Sunset

About the Book

Beauty of the Sunset is a collection of essays written by Tom Potts during his more than twenty years of retirement. The simple essays, with touches of both humor and sadness, express the beauty and wonder of the sunset or retirement years reflecting God’s many blessings, and they are an expression of thanksgiving for a wonderful life. The book is divided into four sections: I- When at last we have time - retirement, II- The ultimate gift - grandkids, III - Good people in a beautiful world, and IV- Rekindling memories. Readers may be inspired to reflect on their own blessings, find fulfillment in using those blessings to help others, and be encouraged to share experiences, thoughts and dreams with those they love.
