We're all secretaries, of sorts; you know. We amble about, listing and documenting out lives, our passions, our stories, our dreams. But why be only a secretary, when you can be the main character? Live. Now. Don't wait any more. The pity isn't how short life is, it's in how long we wait to begin it.

luxurious

What is luxury? It has the connotation that denotes a high end “something that is luxurious.” That leaves us to contemplate the nature of luxury. Perhaps every man can define it in his or her own way. Upon leaving the Lexus dealership, there is a sign that says “have a luxurious day!” But does luxury entail owning a Lexus, being able to tell people what you think the should do and having lucrative assets to which you can point towards your own goals and ideas? No. To the poor man, a luxury may be finding a new coat in the winter, to being able to feed his family until they are satisfied for the first time since his memory recollects such things. Luxury may seem to be that far away thing w long for, but there is a kind of luxury in our day-to day lives that we are blinded to because of overarching assumptions. The embrace of someone important (who makes your troubles melt like lemon drops), the opportunity to have a stimulating conversation, being so close to that person you really really love. There are so many daily luxuries that too often get overlooked. So, define for yourself not “what is luxury?”, but “what luxuries are in my life that I may take for granted?”
