The storms of life rage though we pray for calmness It never comes except from that place with in Fifty days in the hospital taught me what happens when we lose our way This is when you know who your true friends are as the fog closes in on all sides They’re the ones who keep on yelling for you The ones who want you to survive
Here I am again walking down the same road will i make the same choice again Given what I’ve learned, can I say tomorrow that i am a different man The same storms will rage again from the ages of yesterday the same substance from my inner self that drives me so insane
‘Everything will be alright’ The doctors say You can overcome most anything if you know the game But the truth is to face our problems and know they’ll never go away And maybe we’ll be a little stronger when the storm comes another day

From the time we’re born until the time we die we are searching for that right place in life We hope to find that place that we can call our own A shelter from the shadows and the great unknown
And our hearts yearn for friendship and for that safe haven Where we can be the ones we
Take it from me I have been hoodwinked before mistaking acquaintance for what I thought was home It’s a disappointment jumping hurdles for those who take advantage of the homeward call
It is no fault but my own for those mistakes I must use common sense just a little more
Surrounded by loved ones who see me as I truly am And long for us to be a family
Connie Ann lovell
Connie Ann Lovell was born and raised in a conservative and idealistic rural town of Delta, Utah. She knew she was blessed to grow up in this highly favorable condition. She thought the rest of her life would be like this also; but it was not. She married a good, smart and hardworking farm boy who was also her high school sweetheart. He was the love of her life. With her nursing degree and background in music, she was able to help put him through law school. She taught him to be an accomplished pianist and they had two children, who were handicapped. Sadly, after 45 years, their marriage ended. Many times, she has viewed her life through tears; however, she is also blessed to see fun, and even growth through her trials. It is because she has faith to believe there is a purpose in this life. This book shows a few snapshots of her story.
Fun, Uplifting Stories on Aging Author’s interesting book unfolds unpredictably like aging does
Fun and growth can be seen all along one’s path to oldness. It is equally adventurous and dangerous as climbing Mt. Everest; but it’s still fun and fulfilling nonetheless. That’s what author Connie Ann Lovell hopes to share with her Observations on Oldness, which is unique because it skips around to different stories and observations instead of chapters and connections.
Even as a child, the author had a lot of interest and curiosity about aging. As she went through her middle-age years, the experiences continued to grow. They took on a life of their own. She saw humor and meaning all around her, and kept notes to remember details.
In her old years, her stack of age happenings grew larger, and she felt a need to tell the many fun and uplifting stories to her family, so she turned it into her little book. What’s even more exciting is that her oldness has continued to give her more materials to write.
Many readers will relate to her stories and be reminded of their own similar entertaining times and enriching adventures.
