December 9

I hadn't been up to the observation deck in a few weeks so after I glanced out the bedroom window and spied pink swirls in the sky early this evening, I headed outside for a look-see.

Although I missed the sunset in earnest, I assume it was lovely, so I'm grateful to have caught what was left of it.

And I'm grateful that if I squint, I can make out the lights on our Christmas tree in the family room, because even an iota of holiday cheer can go a long way for me.
