At The End Of The Day
I am in the sunset of my days. My journey has been long and at times difficult, but it has created the man I am today. I was an actor on the stage of man and was defined by the roles I played. The dreams of man became my own, as I followed many paths through my lifetime.
But today I am content with the man I have become. And as I approach the end of my travels I find within the beauty of my world quiet moments to reflect, reminisce and remember.
As the many days of my life have become my yesterdays and each year becomes but a memory, I find myself wandering the halls of my mind seeking answers to the question, what awaits me at the end of the day? Does the story end or simply begin again in another dimension, not of man’s design? In moments of quiet reflection, I stand before a curtain wondering.
But I hesitate to open this portal, perhaps a little afraid of the unknown; but I know I must take the next step, a step of faith. The book “At the End of the Day” is a brief glance at one man’s journey into the unknown of tomorrow as I contemplate a new beginning in a world not of man, but of the spirit.

Review
"At the End of the Day gave me “a wake - up call” as Gene articulates, so well, life, it’s meaning, an evaluation of our personal history, what is really important, and where we go from here? "At the End of the Day” caused me to put my own life in perspective. The stories are great, some of which I shared with Gene. Chapter 7, Lingering A Moment Longer puts life in perspective – my "At the End of the Day”" - Bill Moody
A look into the life of a man, series of life experiences, and questions about the hereafter
"Gene Jessup has done it again. He has produced an important piece of literary Americana by publishing a harmonious collection of homespun philosophies, real life experiences, and useful advice on how to live in the present, while psychologically preparing for an undefinable future. Present more in this book than his previous works, he offers readers a window into how he seems to be anticipating moving on beyond his present existence into a future he fears he can't fully define. He shows us in his narrative what little control we have on the end result of our human persona. But, by sharing his personal experiences and philosophies, he does offer us a view into the character traits that he believes contributed to the final product of the man he became. He has an uncanny way of treating his viewers to a deep look into his heart and soul, and doing it in such a way that you end up reading it like you would an interesting work of fiction with a complex plot. You can't put it down and you're sad when it's over. I hope he will keep writing, but will not be surprised if he can't. It's got to be all consuming. Thank you, Gene!" - George Bombel
