Is this what luxury is?

Friends, I have had a hard bunch of days. Busy at work, emotional roller coaster with my family and heath issues (both ups and downs), very little sleep, daily travel to different towns almost every day this week, surprise schedule change that left me in one set of clothes for 2 days and a night, and listening to my mom groan in agony all night from cancer pain.

It's been a lot.

Then, there was this moment. At the end of my work day, saying to myself, "whoa," just "whoa." Know what I mean? After a lot of lot...whoa.

One deep breath, and without even thinking, my eyes landed on a little something special. A little worse for wear, but rare and beautiful. And without a thought, I dove towards it and grabbed my LV Speedy BB Vachetta Mono. Grabbed it, pulled it to the center of my face, and drew in a deep sniff.

That amazing smell of nice leather. It was so calming.

I gave it a few whiffs, felt calm, and put it back down.

If anyone else was in the room, I wouldn't have done it. But in that short and private moment, I took in that wonderful smell and it was nice.

I guess that is what luxury is.

@MidlifeFashionPrincess , I totally get it...whatever it takes !! I do the same whenever I need some momentary diversion from life's frequent stressors. IMO, it's not drugs, alcohol, or destructive behavior....unless you count an impulse bag buy that gets out of hand. And I'm guilty of that on occasion too...:P
 
I’m so sorry to hear about what you’re going through. I think that’s exactly what it is - something small that can bring a little bit of enjoyment and pleasure during life’s hard times. I hope things get better for you and your family soon.
