In reading one of my favorite blogs last week, Black Eiffel, I read a post advising us all, "To build in little daily luxuries..." The idea got me thinking. How much do I do this already? And what do I consider daily luxuries?
I think taking time for myself feels luxurious. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more grateful I began to feel for what I already have. Kind of nice since I've been grumbling about rising gas prices and all the things that need to be remodeled and/or fixed...but I digress...
What do you consider small luxuries? Using the good china? Scented candles? Taking time for crafts or art?
I challenge you to gift yourself with a simple luxury each day & see what happens.
Here's a beautiful walk I took Daisy on last week with her good friend, George. I think she felt luxurious too...
Taking time to smell the daisies...
We walked along a partially paved path in a rejuvenated wetlands area along the Los Angeles River. We saw rabbits, squirrels, red-tailed hawks, ducks, geese and a few other lucky dogs. Sometimes horses ride along the path too...watch where you step...
Nature + Urban
Beauty and inspiration are everywhere. I think they look different to each of us -even Daisy...who was very inspired by the wildlife...
The charming fences are faux-wood -and actually made of stone! Durable yet decorative!
Spoil sport.
Okay, now it's your turn. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: practicing the fine art of simple, daily luxury. Start now.
