Embrace the sweet art of 'doing nothing'

Lilah wasn't ashamed of the fact that she would rather sit than stand, 

would certainly rather walk than run and saw the value of long naps 

as opposed to exercise for

keeping the body and mind in tune.

Not that she wasn't ambitious. It was simply that 

her ambitions ran to the notion that

physical comfort had priority over 

physical accomplishments.

For The Love of Lilah

"Maybe you sit and read a book. Maybe you stare out the window or balcony and listen to your favorite musician. Maybe you learn how to whistle … What can you do today to begin doing nothing?"

Those are big, important questions worth pondering. If only you were in a pondering mood. But let's embrace la dolce far niente — and take a nap instead.

inviting outdoor nap spots

She liked long naps, classical music and her aunt's elaborate desserts. When
the mood struck her, she could sit, sprawled in a chair, prodding little details of his
life from him. Or she could curl up in a sunbeam like a cat, blocking him and
everything else around her out of her thoughts while she drifted into one of her private
daydreams

“Are you going to take a nap?” Jenny climbed onto his back to bounce. “Lilah

sleeps in the grass sometimes.”

“Lilah sleeps anywhere,” Holt muttered.
