The weekly challenge of remembering three of the beautiful things I say to myself about, “That will make a good one for Thursday.”

It remains to be seen if tomorrow morning I don’t wake up thinking, “Oh, that was what I meant to include.” It happens about a third of the time.

Three of the beautiful things from my week past:

1. Rudi wakes just enough in the wee hours of the morning to wrap an arm around me after I stumble into bed.

2. I decided the flowers from Nick and Larry’s wedding are too nice to enjoy only at home and pluck two roses out of the arrangement to take to the office. Realizing one is turning brown and the other is drooping, I carefully pluck the outer petals off both flowers and cut the stems before putting them in a fresh vase of water. Several hours later, both are looking much happier.

3. Biking over to Canal Park, I miss the crosswalk signal to get down the Mall. I turn to bike across it sideways and discover a gorgeous sunset behind me.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world this week?
