The Best Things in Life are Still Free
57Despite our fascination with money and material goods, the best things in life are still free. There are some experiences you cannot put a pricetag on. These are the experiences that enrich our lives, that make us feel whole, that give us a hope.
Here's a few that come to mind:
- Viewing the majesty of the Northern Lights for the first time
- Laughing with a friend 'til we both cry
- Watching a baby smile for the first time
- Waking up to a bright, sunny morning and feeling healthy
- Experiencing the unconditional love of a loyal dog as he licks your face
- Watching the sunset over the lake
- Sharing in the wisdom of an elder
- Hugging a loved one you haven't seen for a very long time
- Feeling satisfied as you learn something through discovery
- Discovering a new activity you are passinate about
As we wait for our next paycheck or consider the purchase of the next lottery ticket, take time to appreciate the things you cannot buy-- the intangible moments in time that are gone in the blink of an eye.

Thanks Agro. I hope you enjoy some of these moments in time. I hope to publish another hub related to this soon.
Thanks for this message, I really appreciate it.
J. Wells, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's important to take time to appreciate what is around us!
Good post.
I very much agree about the northern lights. I just to spend a lot of time in the northern parts of Sweden when I was younger, since I had a grandmother there. I loved it when we could see it there. Just staring up at the sky at the spectacle was a great way to end an evening.
Thanks Zabimaru,
I love the Northern Lights, too. Thet truly are what of the great beauties of nature. Keep writing.

This is exactly what I was thinking about Julie. We get lost and tend to forget. Yesterday I met my Grand Children for the first time. That brought things into a different light for me.
jy,
Thanks for your response. Yes, grandchildren as well as children, make you see the world in a different light. They are gifts we do not always appreciate.

Hi Julie, indeed the best things in life are still free. Thank God for that! (GRIN) In fact I wrote a hub on 101 things to be grateful about just to remind me of this. :) Take care.
Hi Ripplemaker,
Thanks for your response, and I will check out your hub soon--sounds interesting! Keep writing.
