Gritty to tender, Loving Life cherry picks tasty scenes and thoughts from the author's highly varied experiences as a cowboy, a Merchant Marine, a father, a kid in Wyoming in the forties--including lessons learned in a wigwam--a loving husband, and an old guy still finding lots to love.
Praise for LOVING LIFE: A Roughneck’s Guide to Having It All by Roger Wilson:

“Pithy, poetic, unpretentious, and poignant, Wilson’s stories are a result of the time he’s logged in on the planet and show his love of his past and present life—a unique life lived richly.” Jere Smith, prolific and successful artist and cartoonist
“These beautiful pieces are appreciative tributes to Wilson’s wife, his friends, his tree, to life itself.” Roberta McKee, retired teacher
“Wilson invites the reader to a special feast: a celebration of life, love, and luck, to experiences past, present, and future.” Gerrit Hansen, minister and author
“Blending philosophy with practical wisdom and humor, Wilson shines a believably optimistic light on the realities life can present. He is a gifted storyteller and a warmhearted seeker of truth.” Ariele Huff, columnist, editor, instructor
“Roger's stories are a trip to another time. He has the heart of an adventurous cowboy, lighting words by telling stories at the campfire of his life. His stories become a rodeo of experiences, each event creating laughter, tears, and reality. Ride on, Cowboy.” April Ryan, maven of words and retired bus woman
“Roger, you are a wonderful magician—but different. You use words, not props!” Dr. James P. Hodges,
author of Beyond the Cherry Tree: The Ethical Leadership Principles of George Washington
