Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. Coal, our wee small boy kitten, gained nearly a pound and a half in the two weeks since his previous vet visit. We worked hard to find food he’d eat when he first moved in, but our persistence and Ember’s example of what kitten mealtime should look like is paying off.

2. Julie’s 50th birthday bash included dancing at a bar, delicious cake, and seeing people I hadn’t had a chance to chat with in ages. Everyone had a very good time, including, I’m pretty sure, the birthday girl.

3. New sequels that I’ve been excited to read came off the hold list this week, so I promptly started reading them both. (In the stress around the election and its aftermath, escaping into books has been very appealing.)

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