This year I am grateful that I have found something to be grateful for every single day for over a year. I haven't always had the chance to post--but I have consistently done the mental work of choosing to create a moment of gratitude each day.

Anyone can post pictures of their finished Thanksgiving dishes. I post this picture--capturing the detritus after making two pies--because I am interested in the work.

There is beauty in the work. There is beauty in the gleam of a small red bell amidst the pine branches on my porch. Always -- the small things are the best.
