I tried and failed to help Merriam-Webster understand "What is "luxury"?

They made us believe that luxury was the rare, the expensive, the exclusive, everything that
seemed unattainable. Now we realize that luxury is those little things that we did not know how to value when we had them and now that they are gone, we miss them so much ... 

Luxury is being healthy. 

Luxury is often stepping into the hospital to visit others. 

Luxury is being able to walk along the seashore. 

Luxury is going out on the streets and breathing without a mask. 

Luxury is meeting with your whole family, with your friends. 

Luxury is the looks you share and, yes, smiles are luxury. 

Luxury is hugs and kisses. 

Luxury is enjoying every sunrise. 

Luxury is the privilege of loving and being alive. 

All this is luxury and we did not know.

Stay blessed. Stay grateful.
