dolche far niente (sweet doing nothing)

dolce far niente (My, what a good way to start the New Year.)

This one rolls off the tip of my tongue and expresses a secret longing when life gets overwhelming.

The origin is Italian, meaning "sweet doing nothing."

The word is a noun meaning pleasant idleness (sounds good to me).
