No time like the present!

 

I really want you guys to know one thing. NOT ONE AGENDA ITEM IS MANDATORY. I want you to do what makes you the happiest. One of the most memorable scenes from the movie Eat Pray Love, (one of my all time favorite movies) is when Elizabeth (played by Julia Roberts) is sitting in a local barber shop, talking with her Italian tutor and his friends about the Italian expression Il dolce far niente. In the words of the tutor, this phrase translates as the sweetness of doing nothing. It is made up of four words – il (the), dolce (sweet), far (short form of fare meaning to do or make) and niente (nothing) – so literally it translates as the sweet doing nothing. In the scene, the friend pokes fun at Americans for not knowing how to enjoy life because they work too hard. He suggests that while Americans feel they have to earn a break, Italians know they deserve one. They can appreciate the enjoyment that comes from doing nothing in particular.
