Time to Remember What Money Can't Buy

In this time of financial worry, maybe it's worth remembering some of the joys money can't buy. Here are mine.

  • The simple beauty of sitting outside, surrounded by nature
  • My friends' ability to cheer me up any time, no fancy dress or flashy night out required
  • The comforting warmth of a phone call from my parents
  • Music that speaks to my soul
  • Hugs
  • That first moment of unbridled joy when you see someone you've missed terribly
  • The energetic feeling that rushes through my body right before a race begins
  • The luxury of sleeping in my own bed after a grueling business trip
  • Love
  • The smell of home-baked cookies


What simple pleasures help to ground you when the news is totally crazy?

The simple thing today the keeps me grounded is the fact that my sister is going to win her battle with breast cancer. In light of that, the economic news just doesn't really matter. It puts thing in perspective.

As a Christian. . .I just had to add "Salvation" ~ still free to all who wish to receive it :)

The happines I feel when I'm going home to my cat and my boyfriend who will love me no matter what.
My mom, my dad, and my sister!

Great post. As things look dim and dreary with the economy, we look for some insurance for a brighter future. The things you listed will guarantee peace through the storm. I hope this new administration leads to change.

Peace,

Excellent content - as you always provide and inspires me to come again and again. You are on my RSS reader now so I can read more from you down the road.
By the way, there is one more valuable resource I’d like to share with others readers. It’s called Secrets of Successful Traders that teaches you…
How to turn $1000 into $ 1MILLION in 5 years or less using nothing but...
• a brokerage account (so that you can trade),
• $1000 in a pocket
• And one 'jealously guarded' strategy that won't even require you to spend 20 minutes a day.
