Best things in life are free

The current economy is putting us all down financially, physically and emotionally. We need to be saving money and cut our budgets, but at the same time are advised to spend enough to save our small businesses. Women often turn to retail therapy to get rid of our depression, but we can't really spend money since the economy is so bad, right?

What I realized though is that best things in life are indeed FREE! Here are some happy moments in life that you can achieve, and best of all, they don't cost anything!

1) Talking to your good friends at coffee shops for hours.
2) Taking your favorite book, sitting in a nice mom and pop coffee shop and reading for hours. (when you get out of there, you will smell like a delicious cup of coffee :) )
3) Take your warm blanket to a nice park nearby and lie down and look up at the beautiful sky during a sunny day.
4) Play with your dogs and cats. They show you how much you mean to them and give you so much love.
5) Take some time and write down EVERYTHING you like/love about yourself. You may be surprised at how much you learn.
6) Ask your friends and family to tell you one thing they love about you. Feel loved and appreciated if you are feeling blue.
7) Read a feel-good book. Or an adventure book and get lost in it
8) Tell your family and friends how much you love them. And if they ask why you are saying that, tell them "just because they are great"
9) Write in your journal
10) Read inspiring stories about extraordinary people.

:D
