That elemental force you feel when you're near the ocean, watching the tide and thinking about the enormity of it - a spiritual experience in itself.
A cross between naps and imagination - those moments when you're aware of being somewhere between sleeping and waking, and all sorts of ideas can leap into your mind. I think of that as my personal Twilight Zone.
And the love of companion animals. It may cost something to feed and care for them, but the love they give you is HUGE and free.

Grace, those are great things. I ALWAYS feel calmer when i am near water. Something about the motion of light on water, the sounds of it, the scent of it even...
And along the lines of napping, how about those days you wake up, realize you don't have to rush off anywhere, and go back to sleep? ...Priceless.

Tonite I am enjoying tea with my hubby. The box of tea is something I've had for years and don't remember buying. Feels free to me, and the hot water is soothing on this chilly day.

Jilly? Are you guys back together? I don't want to overstep my bounds, but it's just hard to keep up. It's weird isn't it, just the waves of the tides...

Last night - my husband and I watched a movie and I made Tilapia w/fresh shimp and some more winter-root veggie soup. We cuddled. Tonight? He made some popcorn - no butter (I worry about that stuff sometimes for him), and we're going to do a role-playing game. It's the little things, but the REAL ones that make all the difference.

What fabulous evening ideas, Elleise. I like your thinking.
Something I've appreciated lately are the many free ebooks you can find on Amazon. They exist in all categories! I love free reading material!

Something nice to do is writing notes for the people you love. Dan and I have special paper that we cut up into squares, and we try to write each other a little love note each day. We love doing this, and we love getting the sweet little notes.

Last night Dan and I and his mom and sister all watched both the International Space Station and a random satellite go by overhead. And the moon with Venus was very pretty too, especially with the Earthglow highlighting the back end of the moon.
A free family activity. We dragged out chairs and watched the sky and chatted.

This is probably assumed, but not said very often: intimate time with your partner is free. :-)
