Bon Jour Forward Thinkers-
I recently read that the best things are for free...yet we keep forgetting that. It might be nicer to own something...however, when we get something for free...it just feels better.
I used to buy many VHS tapes and DVD's...then I decided to downsize and move into a loft. Going from almost 2000 square feet to 650 square feet meant I had to make choices on what I needed to keep and what I could do without...and there was not enough shelf space for all my movies...so I decided to donate them to the library.
I realized the benefit of allowing others the pleasure to watch the movies that entertain me...and at the sametime the value of checking out a movie compared to buy it. So part of my weekly...many time multiple trips...routine is to visit the library and pick up a few flicks to watch. Not only am I saving money, but I am getting exercise and being social by going to the library. All three things are free and add to my overall wellbeing!
Simple things like going to the library or the park really can improve ones happiness...and at times we may forget this fact. So as a reminder to myself and to inform others, remembering that the best thing in life are free...with the number one thing being Love :-)
