i know a lot will agree that best things in life are free. we can have love for free, a kiss from our children free, a hug from our love ones free, good times with friends for free, and so on. yet no matter how rich we are we cannot buy the them. i do encounter money problem sometimes but i still consider myself lucky because i have the best in my life - my husband, my son, my family, my friends. how about you are lucky enough to have the best in life for free?

Hi shylade, thank you for reminding me that all of us can be happy just by thinking of the things that we have rather then those that we don't.

I think that the most wonderful things in life are free. Of course, these are not things that strictly speaking that we need to live and granted, we cannot live just off of them. However, they are going to make life really worth living just a bit more. And really that is something that is needed. Through all of the troubles, just something small to increase the meaning of our lives. It doesn't need to be all that much. In fact, it can be something as small as a smile or a kind word. Those things really don't cost a dime but I think that there are some that are caught up in other manners so much, that we do forget what truly manners. Granted those things are worth concern but sometimes we got to step back and appreciate.

i agree with everything you just said. i would trade all the money in the world for my babies and their health. i don't want or need anything without my babies. they drive me crazy but they are the best thing in life i got for free....the both of them. who would ever though that a free gift would be so priceless.

Living in the U.S. the best thing we proud of, it is the freedom we have, and it is granted to all of us. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of almost everything we can think of. In comparison to other countries, we are the lucky bunch, and we should appreciate what we have today. We should continue this freedom until the next generation and more.

I completely agree with you. Best things in life are definitely free. For example, a hug from my child means so much to me and make me feel so happy. This happiness cannot be bought with all the money in the world. I am thankful to God for everything he has given me in life.

I agree that the best things in life are free and money can't buy happiness. In that regard, yes I feel that I have been blessed in life. I have a loving family and good friends and those things are worth more than gold.

Nothing in this life is free.One way or another you will pay a price and the price for what you consider to be the best things in life is huge.

Yeah the best things in life are free all we have to do is to see it and feel it instead of longing for something more that is sometimes too much.

yep and the best things come to those who wait, and usually true :0) money problems are never for long and usually isn't. As long as you are happy that's the main thing in life.

We are living in a world in which almost everything we need and we want must be paid with a money. Everything has a value. On the other hand, while reading your post, you said that the best things refer to the essence of life which is love, joy, peace, truth, etc. With this, I absolutely agree with you. All good things include nice feelings, great ideas and so on.

I do feel lucky with the status I have in my life right now, but of course, as a human, I still have no contentment. I do feel that I'm not complete. I'm still looking for more and I'm still wanting for more.

i am lucky too as you are. you rightly said love, kiss good times all are free however if you are not lucky then you wont have these free things also and you would not feel the plesure as well. i sometimes wonder how easy it is to live as given by god,however, we have made it so complex.
