Little Things Matter #13

Hello everyone,

The year of 2016 in coming to an end on Saturday.

I have Hope that 2017 will be a year of gratitude and

the words
"Thank You"
Gratitude is the hardest of all 
emotions to express.
There is no word capable of
conveying all that one feels.
Until we reach a world 
where thoughts can be
adequately expressed in words,
"thank you"
will have to do.
~A. P. Gouthey

Little Things Matter.

Winterberries are the hallmark of Winter decor.

Cedar and pine cones wrapped in Red ribbon.

Cinnamon sticks and Christmas books.

The sweet smell of oranges covered with cloves.

(a secret: the oranges are faux)

I will be lighting this candle on New Year's Eve

to remind me of the year of HOPE.

Hoping you have a wonderful new year.

Joyously,

Betty
