Today, My One Beautiful Thing is four years old! It’s hard to believe it’s already/only four years since I wrote my first daily post. I had my reasons for beginning, and over the years, those reasons have broadened and deepened, but it’s still my daily joy. The blog has become second nature to me, like brushing my teeth. It’s just something I do every day. And like brushing my teeth, I imagine it would make many people unhappy if I stopped doing it… Don’t worry. I have no intention of quitting!
I thought I’d take a look back at some of my faves over the last four years, by category. It was a really fun exercise!
Architecture
Other Cultures
Original Music
Covers
Dance
Performance
Film
Cool stuff
Food
Art
Sculpture
Glass
Jewelry
Design
Costume
Fashion
Characters
Kindness
Enlightenment
Nature
Exotic places
Cuteness
Personal stories
And funny stuff!
It’s been a real privilege searching the world for beautiful things to bring to you lovelies, and I look forward to many more years of exploring daily wonders with you!
XOXO,
Donna

I followed the whale link. What an amazing thing to watch. So, as soon as I have time this week, I am going to follow all of the links and enjoy what I find. Happy Birthday OBT. Hal
