About the Book

All the best and worst things in life have the power to lift us up or bring us down. Often, we let outside, unforeseen and imagined concepts add to or take away from our bounty of happiness because we either don’t know how or fail to use appropriate measures to achieve the results we desire. Sometimes, we have to know when to laugh, cry, scream, or be still. We forget that through it all, there is love, and when we learn to measure its worth for enriching our lives or its weight for burdening our lives, the scales will not tip in our favor for unmeasurable happiness. In joy, E.S.E. Burno

About the Author

I grew up with newspapers, comic books, magazines, the dictionary, and a complete set of the encyclopedia. When I wasn’t reading, I was writing about my thoughts, my impressions, and my version of what should be written. I grew up listening and talking with older cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and elderly neighbors. The things they would tell about events they had to live through long before I was born was better than any Saturday matinee I had seen. I grew up writing in the margins of books I read and reread to expand the adventure of going places and doing things in my mind that I could imagine. I filled school composition books and diaries with stories of everything—many often go unnoticed. But for me, they made days less boring, nights more bearable, school interesting, work tolerable, and life wonderful.
