As someone who doesn't get sick often (and gratefu

As someone who doesn't get sick often (and grateful for this good fortune), the past few days have underscored how powerful savoring the everydays we cultivate - all of the details, most seemingly mundane but actually quite awesome and extraordinary - are to true contentment. For when we are unable to partake in, for example, walking our pups for an extended excursion, hug loved ones, go out to favorite destinations for a film, a concert, a meal, even go grocery shopping, due to an illness, we know we savored and appreciated such good fortune when we had it and we didn't take it granted. I may not be able to savor the above mentioned activities for the next week, but I know I will be able to soon and I will appreciate and savor them all the more when that time returns. Until then, letting myself enjoy a few more extra simple luxuries while I recoup (I am on the mend and feeling better!). This afternoon - the first Chocolat Chaud made this season and oh my goodness, delighted to welcome it back. (find the recipe in TSLL's dessert and drink page on the blog) #tsllsimpleluxuries
