In our household, the word 'favel' is used to describe sitting around doing nothing. I thought it was a Yiddish word. When I looked it up on-line, it had a completely different meaning and origin. This doesn’t deter me. I’m sticking with using favel to describe inactivity.
Overall, I’m more of a ‘shpilkes’ kind of person -- busy, hard to sit still, go, go, go. I’ve learned through the years to try to temper that with some time to ‘favel.’ It’s a good balance to aspire to. Yoga helps. And I find when I can even out the need to be productive with some time to reflect it’s really the best use of my time.
I've been playing with the use of chalkboard paint on my work.
This way, people can personalize their garden stakes according to what they have planted.
I've also been experimenting with chalkboard paint on a frame.
