Seasons of My Life
Defining Decades and Life Transitions
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
I began noting life experiences of the decades of my life in my late thirties or early forties. The summations became more important as I aged and seemed to have “wisdom of years” connotations. My depictions might not be yours, but I suspect in retrospect, they are similar. I hope this book will create a camaraderie of spirits that will afford you, the reader, an opportunity to travel with me through time to that place where what “was” becomes vague, what “is” becomes important and “what will be,” will be!

About the Book
My book is a Poem chronicling the decades of my life. The culmination of each decade, provided a kaleidoscopic view from beginning to end of transformative possibilities to be courageous, while embracing challenges of self and unforeseen circumstances. I had no idea how long life would last, but felt compelled to continue the summaries and comparisons of decades past and present. This is the beginning of my eighth decade and the realization of less years ahead is constantly in my purview. If I am granted a ninth decade, I’ll step into it with a pen in hand and thank God for the opportunity. “Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle and a victory.” — Mahatma Gandhi
About the Author
Delores Gordon is a retiree and mother of four children, grandmother to seven and great-grandmother to eight. She is also the oldest of six siblings and has lived to see two generations of family before her and, so far, three generations going forward. Delores cherishes any occasion for her family to come together as one. She believes that her life and its transitions are better grasped by two scriptural truths: “This too shall pass” . . . and, “be still and know” . . . Delores cherishes quiet moments and believes quietness shuts out the noise of the world and its distractions. And thereby, opens the doorway to creativity, revolutionary thoughts and transformative ideas and solutions.
