Free to enjoy the best things
Wednesday, July 06, 2016
There are so many things in life that are free. Completely free. No strings. And yet people completely overlook them, shun the best things and instead throw so much time and money at everything else.
They say the best things in life are free. They might just be right.

Light
Simple, isn't it? The sun returns every day, without fail. What a joy, what a promise. Greet the sun early in the morning. Open the curtains wide, let the light stream in.
In the evening, when the sun goes down, light a candle and leave the curtains open to enjoy the moonlight too.
Fresh air
Indeed. Open your windows. Let the breeze blow through your home. Take a walk outside, sit in your garden or a park. Breathe in the fresh air. Smell the flowers as they blossom. Watch the bees as they hover and bumble from flower to flower.
Listen to the birds and note the difference in songs. Let them wake you up in the early hours with their earnest twitterings. Watch them go about their daily lives.
Small details
Look closer at everything, then closer still. It's amazing how much detail you normally miss. Observe. Be entertained. Learn.
Grow
Take a seed and let it grow. Just the one, or many hundreds. Monitor closely.
Hold hands
Share a hug. Be close to people who matter to you.
