No. Quite simply. Thereby I’m not saying that the best things in life are expensive, no not at all.Thing is, hardly anyhing is free.
Nothing beats a hot bath after a long day. Well that assumes you have a house to live in with a bathtub in it. Either rented or owned. It also assumes you have hot water.
A stroll in the park. Well yes, that is free. However, again, if you don’t have a house and some basic security I don’t think that stroll in the park is as desirable. If the park is your home then a stroll around it might not be as terapeutic as it is for someone who lives elsewhere.
Going to bed in clean, crisp bedlinen. Again, assumes you have a home and a washing machine.
Happiness and pleasure comes from outlook. You can be poor as anything but happy because you have a positive outlook and you know to appreciate the little pleasures in life.
At the same time you can be rich and very unhappy. However, that doesn’t say you can’t be rich and happy or poor and unhappy. If you have the right attitude and way of looking at things then you will feel good and be happy regardless of your financial situation.
Personally I’d rather take a hot bath in a nice luxury bathroom, have warm fluffy towels waiting and be able to pour nice oils into the water.
Or take a stroll dressed in a pair of nice wellies and a warm jacket. Then go for a nice and hearty meal in a nearby pub.
Or going to bed in 400 threadcount percale cotton. Dressed in a nice nightie and have a warm goosedown duvet.
Appreciating lifes little pleasures is the most important thing to remember and the ones who are truly happy do just that.
