Free Lilac bushes from an over crowded woods,
Free Smiles from my son who loves purple and tulips who helped me plant these in the Fall.
Free Sap buckets from an antique shop owner, who said you can take as many as you like as long as you make a donation towards pets that need good homes. Free stories about how he found his beautiful pets and how we are blessed to find ours.
Free ugly, brassy table that needed a new life, and my husband said, "Really?" when he helped me hall it into the car.
Free pieces of wood after the huge ice storm on the side of the road ( In March!) where once again my husband said, "Really?" ( who by the way now loves it!)
But most of all:
These are the best things that are free:
1. Love, My children and my husband.
My children being healthy and happy.
2. Family.
3. Just being able to wake up to the sun shining in the morning.
4. The ability to overcome hardships and appreciate what I already have instead of wishing I had more.
5. The ridiculous things my dog and cat does. ~and their deep sighs when you kiss them when they are sleeping!
6. Every breath I take reminds me I’m still here and still have much to enjoy.
7. The ones who never give up on me.
8. Positive and creative people.
9. Hugs and smiles from my family
10. Digging in God's soil and watching things grow!

the world will reveal its beauty to us.” ~Daisaku Ikeda
