All in all, the Boston area has some good resources for healthy living. Have you been to:

• Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Worcester?
• Masao’s Kitchen in Waltham?
• Whole Foods in Dedham, or the new store in Wellesley?
• Veggie Galaxy in Central Square, Cambridge?

Have you been to your local CSA?

While there are TONS of opportunities to eat badly (fast food, pizza joints, even restaurant chain food has way too much fat, chemicals, sodium and sugar), there are more and more resources for good food.

And the Autumn nature is all around us. If you want to take a beautiful walk, here are a few great spots:

• Tipling Rock, Nobscot Reservation, Sudbury
• Spy Pond, and adjoining bike trails, Arlington
• Fresh Pond, Cambridge (near Alewife)
• Blue Hills, Canton (and nearby Hale Reservation)

One final point: you can think happy thoughts, and peaceful thoughts, wherever you are. I’ll see you there!
