This challenge is simple: step back for a few minutes each week to find a lovely thing, a precious moment, anything you find lovely. Then post about it. You can just post a picture or you can go into detail and tell it as a reflection, story or poem.
It could be anything:
a smile…a rainbow…a flower…a kind act…a tasty treat

My lovely for this week
This morning a chance sunbeam illuminated the last leaves on my Japanese maple tree.



Join in!
I will post once a week, Sunday at noon in Seattle (8pm GMT) is my goal, and put a list of posts from the previous week in it. Basically using the same method I do with the Pull up a Seat Challenge. Detailed instructions are on the page: Whatsoever is lovely blog challenge.
Background
We live in a world that seems to value drama, anger, fear and violence. Being mean often passes for being smart. These are the things that “go viral”, magnified in the media. Sometimes, the things that really make life worth living are small and simple. They don’t make for good TikTok. This is a chance to share that type of moment from our lives.
You know, it’s a ‘lovely’ challenge. Even when I don’t submit anything, it makes me pause and think about the lovely things that happened in the week, and they rise above the difficult moments.

Such beautiful shots, or maybe I should say lovely! The leaves really put on a show in Autumn.

We’ve had an exceptionally lovely fall. The first real rain was last week so the leaves held on for longer than usual.
