A New Life In An Old Land
When my life gets a little crazy, I daydream about running away to Tuscany and starting my life from scratch. I don't speak the language and I'm perpetually broke so it's a not a big risk (I'm sure my family is breathing a sigh of relief about that one) but I think about it. While Marlena De Blasi will always be my go to author for these times, Mate is good to follow it with if it's a particularly tenacious time of trial.
Sometimes I cook something that tastes like Tuscany and (weather permitting) I open up the windows so I can hear the leaves in the courtyard (and ignore the busses on the street). I like to read a book like this at those times too.
