Dolce Far Niente!

Posted April 8, 2011

Whether you know Italian or you recognize that line from the movie Eat Pray Love, Dolce far niente is quite a powerful phrase . . . if you want it to be.

It means “the sweetness of doing nothing” . . .

It could be sitting and reading

Chillin in one’s sweats

Catching one of those limited edition sunsets

Or, if you really want to . . . perhaps there’s someone in your life worthy

Of doing nothing . . .

Together 🙂

It also means “delicious idleness” and is served with a free side order of PEACE

Wishing you a wonderful, deliciously idle weekend . . .

    1. He is just another testimonial to my superior jedi skills Susan . . . you should have seen how stressed he was before I started coaching him 🙂

      Thanks for stopping by Susan . . . rock on!

  1. Paul as reading this I’m sitting in the grocery parking lot…Mrs. Yount is in backseat changing Baby Yount’s diapers. I’m back (full-time) on the coast of NC. The sky is blue and Alabama is on the CD player.

    This defines that “do nothing sweetness” of which house so eloquently wrote.

    Weekend of peace to all…
