Today is the autumnal equinox—a time when Nana starts to toss out hints of the winter to come.

It’s that chill in the air when you leave the house in the morning. That vague, yet distinct scent of change on the winds. And the subtle shift in the color of the sun’s rays.

No single hint gives away the answer, but the collection of them does lead you to the conclusion that summer is finally over.

In the frenzy of life we too often forget the importance of pauses.

The best musicians have discovered that a brief pause, at just the right time, adds more to the song than sound.

And you can enjoy the same effect in your day.

A slight pause – taken at precisely the right moment – improves the quality of it all.

Life’s too short to spend most of it trapped inside homes, offices and cars.

That’s why Nana tempts you some days with a bigger than usual sky.

At those times there’s no way your eyes, mind and body will let you stay indoors.
