The Luxuries in Life

I love Labor Day weekend.

It’s the “back to school” moment of the year for me. When I was a kid growing up in Dallas, we didn’t go back to school until after Labor Day, so that was the weekend that summer ended and fall began.

I wrote ten years ago that Memorial Day and Labor Day are the bookends of summer.

What’s different now is that I’m 60, closing in on 61, and lately I’ve been thinking a lot more about what I actually care about.

Amy texted me this list yesterday.

The real luxuries in life:

Time

Health

A quiet mind

Slow mornings

Ability to travel

Rest without guilt

A good night’s sleep

Calm and “boring” days

Meaningful conversations

Home-cooked meals

People you love

People who love you back

It’s a wonderful list.

Enjoy the long weekend.
