If you feel like you're living life at warp speed, this
"little book of everyday calm" may be just what the doctor ordered. Some suggestions will be fun to try -
"get lost in a library, often;" "make sure every kiss lasts at least three seconds." Others will nudge you out of your comfort zone -
"be silent for a whole day," "think of the slow driver in front of you as protecting you from driving too fast." And a few may feel downright impossible -
"appreciate the heat and humidity for the slowness it introduces into summer life," "unplug." But whether you master all 1,001 (not too quickly!) or just try one at a time, you're sure to gain a deeper appreciation for the little things in life. (KG)
