Free Things

We in the modern world have learned to be skeptical of things that are offered to us for free.  The modern truism reads, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"

But the truth is that we are offered some wonderful things that are really free.  Gifts for our enjoyment, which don't require a single coin to be removed from our pocket.  Here are just a few of them:

A beautiful sunrise which cuts through the darkness, breaking the horizon into bands of spectacular colors.

A beautiful sunset, which does the same things as a sunrise, but in reverse.

The music of singing birds, with an ever-changing symphony.

The sound of laughter from a child.

A hug from a loved one or a good friend, which can increase our joy or ease our pain.

The feeling you have when you are trusted by a friend, or a child.

The wonderful memories you have of loved ones, which can never be taken away from anyone.

The warmth of the summer sun, cutting through a cloudy sky to take away the chill.

The feel of a cool breeze on a warm day, and how it refreshes.

Your imagination, in which all things are possible.

The ability to express yourself artistically, if you choose to do so.

The gift of today -- another day on Earth.

Enjoy your free gifts.  No purchase is necessary.
