il dolce far niente

Grateful for:

  1. Catching up on a much needed sleep.
  2. Making a fresh juice with a strong apple & cucumber base. Delicious!
  3. Meditating in the garden
  4. Combining meditation with sun tanning – first time sun tanning in 6 months! Sun=joy.
  5. Cooking a long forgotten Russian dish – simply fried potatoes with mushrooms, but the result is super delicious.
  6. Getting breath tested for the first time in my life! I made the young female police office laugh with my questions of how exactly I am supposed to blow in the tube provided :)
  7. Spending a day at home, it feels like its been ages since the last time I got to do that.
  8. Going to the movies with girlfriends – the joys of city living.
  9. Watching Eat, Pray, Love – call me a spiritual snob but it left me feeling like “Oh my, she is just at the beginning of her journey…”
  10. Adding Bali and Italy to my bucket list. They were there all along but the beautiful scenes from the movie made it all so much more real and tangible.
  11. Finding another philosophy to call my own:

il dolce far niente

the sweetness of doing nothing
