A story for children & families about appreciating the moment while you're still in it. "Those were the good old days..." How much richer and fuller can we make the present moment by living with the perspective that "These Are The Good Old Days"? This is the message Russell Daniel wants to share with children as they grow up and with families throughout life. We can appreciate today's moment while we're still in it, knowing that it's always the good old days. Russell Daniel lives in Austin, TX with his adopted dog, Pia. Russell writes books for children and families that share a universal message. After the passing of his brother, Danny, the concept of "these are the good old days" became a powerful and present idea in his life. This book is an expression of that idea.
