Sometimes we miss some of the joys of life that don't carry large price tags, and in our daily rush forget what we are missing.
Take for example the luxury of line-dried bedding. When was the last time you treated yourself to this? Can you remember the pure smell of nature's perfume as you drift off to a peaceful slumber? Fabric softener companies know about it, but nothing they can concoct comes close to mimicking this small taste of paradise.
Crunchy towels are another luxury--nothing absorbs water better, and they transform almost magically from stiff and crunchy to soft and supple the moment they meet moisture.
How about taking a sunset walk after dinner with a loved one? Climbing a hill to stargaze away from city lights? Cuddling your child to sleep and watching them long afterward?
Watch a child glory in a golden field of dandelions, then make a wish, a wish for not only the future, but for the now that is so easy to miss in the rush of our daily lives.
Could you place a price tag on any of these things? Would you ever want to?
