Summary
Summary
Francesco, who lives in the mountain village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, keeps a diary to structure his days and understand what he feels. He begins with a cold, early morning and a simple intention: to stay calm.
Through a steady routine—breakfast, a day at the tourist office, helping visitors and locals, and handling a minor printer problem—he practices patience and gratitude. The afternoon ends with friendly encounters in the village, and the evening closes quietly with dinner, a few pages of reading, and a final diary note of contentment before sleep.
