Gratitude Brings Happiness

It's really true that the more a person concentrates on being grateful, the happier they become.

We can be thankful even for the little things that bring smiles to our faces.

When a pretty crystal/glass cover called out at a yard sale, I bought it.

Probably, originally, it was a cover for cheese. 

Available at a dirt cheap price, how could such a lovely piece be passed up?

So now, it's used as a cover for butter. 

Flanked by the "new from eBay" salt and pepper shakers, the little set definitely makes me feel gratitude.

Here's to a great Friday the 13th, without any of the negative folklore behind it!

  2. Makes me think of the pinwheel crystal I have that belonged to my mom. Young people don’t want such things anymore. I treasure it and the memories that go with it.

  3. I like your crystal. I have a few crystal pieces that I like setting in my kitchen garden window for the morning sun to glisten through them. I usually do that in the spring.

  4. Oh how pretty, Susan. My mom used to collect crystal - she had some lovely rose bowls. Yes, it's important to be thankful for those little things that bring smiles to our faces. And thank you for bringing a smile to my face!
