Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you had a nice day filled with loved ones and tasty food.

Here are three beautiful things from my past week:

1. My brother made a surprise (to me, at least) trip home for Thanksgiving.

2. We went to see the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special at the movie theater with a couple dozen fans (the show didn’t start until 10 p.m. on a Monday, so it was less popular than most of the other local shows, which sold out). It was fun to watch the 3-D episode with the company of others.

3. Just as a coworker and I are about to head out in search of food, salad fixings left over from a lunch meeting arrive in the office kitchen. I heap a plate high with greens, beets, and other healthy — and free! — ingredients.

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