Dolce Far Niente ~ The Art of Doing Nothing

I am trying to learn Dolce Far Niente. Truthfully, for my husband it's a peanut meditation, well for me, it's a pain in the ass meditation.

When I was born, I have always been educated by my parents that we need to work hard! Nothing comes free. And never be lazy. It means there is no such thing as laying back at this time of the day (it's 10 am and it's tuesday...yes working week!!). I am supposed to be at the office now and not sitting in my rented apartment doing nothing and feeling guilty.

A friend of mine told me that she and her husband can just load off everything and go for a holiday for a month..she said "make time". Well it's not easy for me to make time for myself to just go and have holiday. The responsibility that I bear does not allow me to do that.

Because I feel guilty, that is why i am back in Jakarta tommorrow till Sunday. And when I am in Jakarta, I will feel guilty for not taking care of my husband.

We are leaving in 2 weeks for our 28 days honeymoon. And me and him are so much looking forward to the trip. We think it will be our last trip together before we decided to have our first child next year. So during that trip, I will try to master Dolce Far Niente without feeling a bit of guiltiness...coz I deserve a break :)
