"Wendy Woo's Year - A Pocketful of Smiles - 101 ideas for a happy year and a happy you" by Wendy Steele is a refreshing reminder of all the little things we can do ourselves to make our life a little more pleasurable.In 101 small snippets, assigned to the appropriate calendar months, Steele recommends her own remedies, food, recipes and activities. They are not cooked up in a laboratory or newly invented - quite the opposite. They are taken from life as we must not forget it, in sync with nature, animals and plants, the seasons and our selves.I must congratulate the author for compiling a selection of common sense advice. While I was reading paragraph for paragraph I nodded many times, knowing well that I should not be sitting next to my computer reading on the kindle but instead sit next to plants and stroke my dog, to give just one example out of the many suggestions the author made.Having read through the book once in one sitting I wish I had a calendar with all of these so I could remind myself more easily on a daily basis of Steele's great ideas.A real treasure!
