Free Food and Where to Get it on the First Day of Spring

Whether we pay attention to it or not, the prices of some of our favorite, everyday items have increased. This may be something that we notice on our grocery bill, in stores while shopping or word of mouth.

When Was The Last Time That You Got Something For Free?

We automatically feel more interested in something when we learn that its 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. 

Free Food And The First Day Of Spring Will Boost Our Serotonin

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. Ways that I have attempted to temporarily ward off depression consist of red light therapy, breathing in oxygen from an oxygen bar, receiving a massage and more.

We can rejoice! Spring is officially in the air with that being said, there are businesses that are offering freebies in honor of this uplifting holiday that holds new beginnings.
