I think that Aline in the short story "Rich For One Day" consideres herself rich, not with money, more as in happiness, feels great as a person, without money. You can almost say sometimes the two words "rich" and "happiness" will have the same meaning or feeling behind it.
I myself am similar to Aline because I'm not rich, but I'm happy and when I feel happy, I feel rich as a person. One thing that I love that makes me feel happy is having a people who care and who will always be there for me, for they are really understanding. The thought that I'm also really understable with them makes me happy because I'm not only receiving help, guidance, advise, whatever, I am also giving it to people I love and who love me back. My job also makes me very happy. Many people don't have one, and often struggle to even meet the basic/survival needs of life. I am thankful for having a job right now that I don't hate. If I really think about it, right now at this point of my life I have no problems. I have a place to sleep, food to eat, water to drink, warmth, and people who love me. I don't have to pay any expenses yet, my cell phone, that's it, and what I have for me going right now, is keeping me pretty happy I must say.
You hear the phrase "money doesn't bring happiness" all the time, as you may see it everywhere too, and it's so true. You just have to feel it, and to do that, you think to yourself, "what can be worse?" There's always something worse out there in the world so just have faith. One thing I learned from Aline's character is always decide to wake up and get up, you never know how your day might end.
