It's the "dolce far niente" which translates into "sweet doing nothing". Imagine yourself on an afternoon in a terrace in Naples (Italy) facing the Mediterranean sea, the sun setting slowly, a cup of short, dark coffee, watching the ships passing by, a tarantella in the air... your mind fly away... Italians (mainly in the south) master this art. Long ago italians coined an expression that summarizes your post. It’s the “dolce far niente” which translates into “sweet doing nothing”.

I also love the little hints of humor (ie: saying 'crotchal area' in the bath segment above). I've been looking to slow down, but all these Zen people tend to take themselves WAY too seriously. This web site is the perfect balance. Thank you. I officially love this web site. I also love the little hints of humor (ie: saying ‘crotchal area’ in the bath segment above).
