I agree with Jane completely! The thing I do when I can't do anything else is head for the flower department in my local grocery store. The one I like best puts flowers in a sale bin when they haven't sold in a couple of days. Sometimes I can get a bouquet of carnations for $1.99 and they last for a week or more! If I'm feeling rich, I buy two! I can usually find *something* in that bin that will brighten my home for a few days. I love real flowers, and that is my secret vice, my treat for myself. =) <br /><br />Sometimes, a cup of spearmint herb tea - a mixture I make myself that has lemongrass and other things in it, too - is just what I need to comfort me. I've never been wealthy, so I learned long ago to take joy in the simple things of life. Right now, practically every tree on every block has lovely blooms - pink or white dogwood, sort of a purplish redbud, flowering cherries, plums and weeping cherries. Tulips are blooming in every yard. Evey the lovely yellow dandelions are adding to the mix. Who can feel down on even a partly sunny day full of flowers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-30787864720385282014-04-18T07:44:35.744+10:002014-04-18T07:44:35.744+10:00Ha ha ha!!

Taking time to rest and heal is the best medicine, I think. Hope you feel much, much better very soon. My little luxuries are (1) dark chocolate and (2) purchasing the British Country Living magazine. It comes to one of our local bookstores, but not on a regular schedule so I haunt the store. Not many copies arrive. I may ask for it as a subscription for a birthday or Christmas gift. There's nothing like sitting down with a cup of tea and a new magazine. I get inspired to bake or clean or garden or stitch or just arrange some flowers. <br />Take care. Have a happy and blessed Easter!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-64859436921604723452014-04-18T00:38:21.368+10:002014-04-18T00:38:21.368+10:00Aww Jenny.....I know what you mean.....as much as ...Aww Jenny.....I know what you mean.....as much as we love our kids...there's some things that I'd rather they did not share!

I enjoy a nice cup of hot coffee with a little chocolate and cream as a luxury especially when it is very early in the morning and the entire house hasn't woken up yet.
