My first Peter Mayle book. This is a book of essays/articles he wrote exploring the lifestyle of the rich. He pokes fun at them, yet he also relates to them. I found the book interesting and had a few LOL moments too.

Acquired Tastes | Peter Mayle

Okay so I just wanted to warn everyone that this list can change on daily basis this is how I feel today. Nevertheless is really interesting to do it!

1. Roald Dahl (specially his short stories for adults)
2. Gabriel García Márquez (I am Colombian. This guy was amazing)
3. Margaret Atwood
4. Joe Hill
5. Murakami (I love how he can jump from one genre to the other. Same as Atwood and Garcia Márquez

britt_brooke Great choices! 5y

CaroPi @britt_brooke Thanks! 5y

Mindfulness For Dummies | Shamash Alidina

Since I don't #work at the moment, I'm enjoying the #luxury to follow where my #creativity leads me.

This week I made soap (picture above) and lotion bars. Next week, I'll probably bake biscuits.

I'm glad that I can get creative when I want to but I don't have to be creative every day.

BTW, I can craft, I cannot decorate.

Ghost Cats of the South | Randy Russell

1. Captions, please....
2. I‘ve lived in many places in the US & Europe, and I love all of them for different things. But for sheer freedom, ease of public transport, and wonderful walks complete with loads of folks about for good people-watching, I‘d have to say NYC, particularly Manhattan.
3. Broccoli & cheese soup 🍲
4. See my #Gratitude30 #Luxury post from yesterday. 😂
5. I bought Kindle books on Black Friday.
Happy #HumpDayPost

There aren‘t many things in my life that I think of as a #luxury. Most of my clothes are relatively inexpensive, furniture is from Goodwill or hand me downs and I like it that way. These shoes however are a luxury. My brother gave me a pair for my birthday one year and now they are all I wear. They are expensive-in my opinion-but absolutely worth it. The fact that I stand all day makes these a luxury I afford myself. #gratitude30 #littlethings

kstadt929 I love all the colors 😍 5y

DivineDiana Nice! 👍🏻 5y

AmyG I bet they are also comfortable. 5y

hermyknee All of my furniture are hand-me-downs, too! 5y

Mimi28 Oooooo!!! 😍😍😍 Pretty!! I love them!! I know I owe you a #jb card. How are you doing? 5y

hermyknee Oh and those look so comfy(I say as I finally put my aching feet up) 5y

Louise Footwear is one thing that we really shouldn‘t scrimp on. Our musculoskeletal system relies on a good foundation at the feet. Cheering you on for treating your feet well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5y

JoScho @kstadt929 @DivineDiana thank you 🥰 5y

JoScho @hermyknee yay for hand me downs and they are so comfortable for work! 5y

JoScho @AmyG they are amazingly comfortable! 5y

JoScho @Mimi28 thank you! I am so so behind on my jb cards-don‘t worry about it. I am doing ok. How are you and sweet stormy? 5y

JoScho @Louise thank you! These were the most expensive pair of shoes I ever purchased but man are they amazing. 5y

Kayla.Adriena What brand of shoes are they? 5y

JoScho @Kayla.Adriena adidas 😊 5y

JSW It‘s worth it to spend money on good shoes and good underwear. 5y

Jee_HookedOnBookz Wowwww love those beauties!! 😍😍😍 5y

KathyWheeler It‘s absolutely worth the money to have shoes that are supportive and comfortable! I walk a lot and had okay shoes for that but not fabulous. Last year I bought a pair of Brooks shoes; I‘ve never had shoes fit me so well and am glad I spent the money on them. 5y

SleepyDragon I feel that way about my Nikes. I have wide feet and am a hard fit, but I can always find the perfect cross trainer at the Nike Outlet. If only they made dress shoes. Lol 5y

JoScho @NeesyBeth lo exactly! I have for sure worn them with dresses to work though! 5y

JoScho @JSW very true! 5y

JoScho @KathyWheeler yeah once you find a pair that fits just right it is hard to wear anything else. 5y

JoScho @Jee_HookedOnBookz thank you! 5y

Eggs I applaud and agree with your philosophy of acquiring things and your happiness with it all. You tend toward simplicity and a grateful (happy) existence ❣️❣️ BTW can you email me your address again: eggleston.sherri@gmail.com 5y

Mimi28 Glad you are ok. Stormy and I are doing good. She‘s back to her normal self. How is your dog doing? 5y

JoScho @Mimi28 he is doing ok. We are still struggling to get him to eat but he went to the vet today for more bloodwork and he is back up to the weight he was before surgery. Hoping with this bloodwork we can get his medications worked out and get him feeling good. Thanks for asking 😊 5y

JoScho @Eggs thanks pretty lady. I will email you my address. 🥰 5y

Mimi28 Aaaawww, poor thing, I hope the blood work gives you answers. What‘s his name? ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

JoScho @Mimi28 his name is Mork. We have three but he is the one most attached to me 😊 5y

Mimi28 Aaaawww ❤️❤️❤️ well I hope Mork feels better!! Thanks for you well wishes for Stormy ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

Lreads Those shoes are awesome! I always wear sneakers unless the situation calls for dressy attire. No other shoes are as comfortable to me as my sneakers! 5y

The Lap of Luxury | William Hamilton

This is what I call luxury:
1. Changing into pajamas after a long day
2. Getting under the comforter on the daybed
3. Letting the cat lie in the crook of my arm
4. Reading a book (pillow behind my neck)
Could finish out my life just like this, I swear!
I‘m grateful for all of the luxuries in my life, especially the above!

gradcat @Jennick2004 @booklover984 @RadicalReader Raylan (my cat) wants you all to know that he appreciates your comments, but as he is the king of everything, he expects that (and more)! 5y

gradcat @Jennick2004 Oh, it is, believe me, it is...🙃🙃 5y

booklover984 @gradcat and I would not expect anything less from a cat...they know they're royalty and act like it lol 5y

Amiable Totally agree! Bliss! 5y

gradcat @Amiable Ahhh—you really get me! 5y

Trashcanman It's Withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind 5y

#gratitude30 #luxury It‘s turning downright chilly in South Florida, so to be snuggly wrapped in my fluffy snowflake throw with a good book after the craziness of the holiday really feels like luxury to me.

Samplergal Haha! Chilly it is. 64 in SoFlo. Brrr. Happy reading! 5y

Lynnsoprano @Samplergal We take what we can get😂 We‘re predicted to go down to 42 tonight, and that‘s low enough to mean I need to move some plants. 5y
