We automatically feel more interested in something when we learn that it's a freebie. Who doesn't love free?

Sometimes the things we love and may take for granted are free. This may consist of receiving a compliment from a stranger, an act of kindness from someone you just met, alone time with your pet or even a beautiful reminder from family or friends.

Over the past couple of months, I have expressed how I have had seasonal depression. Thankfully, I have found ways to lessen it here in the Hudson Valley.
