Today there were dozens of little things.
This morning I finished the Butterflies of North America puzzle I started yesterday. 
We woke up to a beautiful 3 or 4 inches of fresh snow and the woods was lovely as the flakes fell.
This afternoon the sky was blue, the sun was bright, and the long shadows of the trees were spectacular.
And this evening I walked out to soak in this spectacular sunset. I didn't have boots on...but I was compelled to walk through the snow to the dead end of the street so I could get closer....and it did not disappoint.
Because of blog technology I can share some of my 4 year stats:
As of today I've published 1453 posts. I have 47 drafts that probably will never get published. When something catches my eye I start a post....then something else presents itself and the first draft gets shelved. I guess I'll call it my "private collection." 88 people visited yesterday, 57 today including 16 from Sweden, 4 from Russia and 2 from France. As of this moment the blog has been viewed a total 65,472 times and that doesn't include people who read it in an e-mail. I've gotten acquainted with at least 1/2 dozen women I've never met....some of whom I've traded projects or shared supplies. Another dozen people have shared how a post inspired them to try something new or simply reminded them of their own story to celebrate...and all of it brings me joy.So I guess I'll keep going. It's good for me. It pushes me to pay attention and reflect...celebrate and share. Happy Birthday Joyful Puttering!
congratulations!
