Free!!!

I moved to Denver in July, well Denverish area. But I have noticed that several times since we have been here that there are several different attractions that offer free days. It was Denvers 150th Birthday and the zoo offered a free day on Saturday. It was really nice. It was a nice day and the price was right within my budget. There were a ton of people, but the place is so big that it did not matter.

The reason I write about this is that in Utah, which is where we are from, they would NEVER offer a free day. That would take money out of some fat cat, rich, families pockets and they would not be able to buy the 8th four wheeler for the guests of their guests. I was really surprised and pleasantly so that there are actually places in the world who don't think of money. Really they did not fare all that horribly any way since I am sure that most people ended up buying some kind of food, drink, or visited the gift shop.

If the world were made up of the people I believe are behind the NO Free days in Utah, then the whole world would be far worse off. Especially since the teachings for the people who are behind the money grubbing is that you should love thy neighbor. But really it is more to the point of being "love thy money and all of it you can get."

We don't usually have that much money and for the most part we are an extremely happy family. I don't think that money buys happiness, I believe that the free things in life are what makes someone really happy.

Just some thoughts of mine, think about what makes you happy!
