There's some things money can't buy
... such as:
Knowing how to comb your hair in your favorite updo.
"Pretty days" in which you look thinner/cuter/of clearer skin in all mirrors available.
Noticing how you have been able to answer calls from your loved ones without feeling miserable because your job has made you hate the phone.
Realizing you have few loved ones, but the ones you love, love you right back.
Puppy breath.
The weight of your sleeping dog on your lap, shoulder or stomach.
Getting good news over the phone on a day that was turning to shit.
An unexpected tunnel of wind on an otherwise sweltering hot day.
Looking to the blue sky and, not only remembering those good ol' days when you were a carefree kid, but also getting that carefree feeling back, if only for a few minutes.
A sudden kiss that turns out just right and sends you reeling.
Library-like silence in a crowded bookstore.
Fresh ground coffee after weeks of tasting only the machine-dispensed type.
Butterflies in your stomach on a Friday night. Even if you're going nowhere, the feeling is exhilarating.
Watching the crowded highway at night from the balcony in your very-far-away house... even better if you're waiting to be picked up to head that way too.
Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
... for everything else, there's credit cards, debit cards, cheques, credit lines, loans, and obviously actual money.
