I've been reading a book this week entitled Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh. I've had it for years and pick it up from time to time when my life gets too hectic. There is one overriding tip from this peaceful monk that resonates with me and I've decided to put it into practice all weekend. It is that simple universal gesture we can often do with others but sometimes not with ourselves.

That's what I'll be doing- smiling and enjoying our Indian summer. Happy weekend.
