My first three beautiful things post of 2014 encompasses the week after Christmas. It was a week filled with lovely things and these were merely three of them:
1. Snow falls through the evening commute, eventually coating everything with a fresh layer of white. I walk out into it, and great flakes oh-so-softly caress my eyelashes.
2. A text conversation prior to Christmas results in an invitation to visit Eric at his place near the Tappan Zee bridge on our drive north. Our late departure eventually rules out such a stop, but we decide to try again on the drive south. He shows us his flat, makes us tea, and provides entertaining conversation. It is a nice visit with an old friend.
3. Our late arrival home (think shortly before sunrise) means a lazy first day back in D.C. We sleep until the afternoon, go out to lunch, wander the neighborhood, and take in a movie. It is wonderful — and rare — to get to spend an entire day together.
How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world this week?
As always, my weekly post is inspired by Clare’s blog.
