il dolce far niente

It’s funny how as I’ve gotten older the weekends I look forward to the most are not the ones packed with activities but the ones where I have no plans & no obligations.  This seems to happen less & less.  So as of lately I have been trying, if possible, to keep my weekends free.  It’s so nice to actually feel rested after a weekend off work and have a fresh start for my monday.   I think the Italians got it right with their saying “il dolce far niente” which translates to the sweetness of doing nothing.  Although I won’t exactly be doing “nothing” this weekend I will be relaxing, and enjoying every minute of whatever I decide to fill my weekend with.   I hope you all have a wonderful stress free weekend as well!
