Whatsoever is Lovely Challenge-2023 Week 8

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

What was lovely in your life this week?

Lovely posts from last week

My lovely for this week

There has been much beauty in my world this week.

It’s still winter.

A view of the Olympic Mountains from West Seattle with the morning sun accenting the snow caps.
There is snow on the Olympic mountains…by August the snow will be all gone.
Contrast between the dramatic clouds and calm water of Colvos Passage in Puget Sound.
And storms are coming through.

The winter ducks are still here (I love ducks!)

But spring is starting to move in.

Tiny stinging nettles emerging from the forest floor are a sign of spring.
Tiny nettles are starting to poke up through the forest floor.
And the sunset colors are migrating north.

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.
