January 7

This caught my eye as I was walking the kiddos home from school this afternoon:

It's just a small, bright red feather. It probably fell off of someone's jacket or shirt.

But it's still eye-catching and pretty and vibrant.

It's precisely the kind of thing that I often look at but don't really see. So I'm thankful that today, I saw it and took a minute to appreciate its generally un-noteworthy beauty.

It was quite literally a bright spot in my day.
