Just trying to get by

Daily writing prompt
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

If we’re talking luxury luxury, not sure I’ve ever known that. Luxury to me, off the top of my head means fancy cars, fancy houses and the best of everything. The population in general, has mostly never known that. However, the little things in a “regular” person’s life can be construed as luxury.

Having clean water to drink and bathe in is a luxury. Having a comfy bed to sleep in is a luxury. Having a job with an income that supports me and my family is a luxury. And right now, my health is a luxury.

Interestingly enough, this post by @jadebonacolta showed up on my Instagram feed this morning.

“6 luxuries in life: time, health, a quiet mind, slow mornings, ability to travel, a house full of love”

The caption read “if you have even half of these you’re rich….”

It’s so true.

Of all the things I’m grateful for in my day to day life, if we’re talking luxuries then I would say my nightly bubble bath is something I would be sad to have to give up. I’ve posted about it before and it sounds lame but it’s true. I consider that soak every night to be luxurious.

  1. I keep thinking about the way you described why you love the bubble bath, and I’d honestly never thought of the fact that in a shower some part is still not getting touched at all times. I’ve always loved baths–love to add Epsom salts especially–but you helped me see why there are few things more restful.

  2. Sometimes it really is the simple things that we find most satisfying. When you think about it, many things we take for granted would be considered a luxury to some people.

    1. You got that right! On the other hand, I’d be curious to know what luxury is, to a multibillionaire….a bubble bath in an olympic sized bathtub maybe?!
