sine qua non

On this last day of November I'm contemplative. Thinking about things for which I'm grateful. Things that make my life wonderful. Sine qua non - Without which not. Those things that without my life would be bland, dull, unappealing.


This boy and his zeal for life.


Creativity, creation, and custom orders.


This wonderful man who shares this life with me. Love, friend, father, provider, partner, equal.


This beautiful part of the country in which we live. Even in the winter she's stunning.


I have much to be thankful for. Every single day.

Simple Mama.
