Affordable Luxury

April 9 - "Luxury need not have a price - comfort itself is a luxury" ~ Geoffrey Beene

Simple Abundance has erroneously been equated to the frugality movement of the 90's which is based on fear, and rather than attract abundance, fear repels it. This book is not about deprivation but about the comfort of joy and moderation, and replacing the feeling of poverty and lack, with prosperity and affluence. Start by pampering yourself with affordable luxuries as simple as adding real whip cream to a cup of cocoa, or buying a cord of wood for the pleasure of enjoying said cocoa in front of a blazing fire. There are a lot of examples to choose from in this chapter to indulge in simple pleasures, some of which I already do, or should do since they are affordable and attainable, or did do this weekend. I bought an egg dying kit and indulged in the luxury of spending Easter Sunday painting fingernails and hard boiled eggs with the granddaughter rather than doing any of the cooking or cleaning!
