Day One

365 Days of Gratitude and Weirdness is my attempt to take a photo every day, for an entire year, recording the little things that create happiness in a life. So often, we let these little moments slip by, until they are added to a sea of other forgotten moments --- so much beauty and humor in the seemingly mundane are, thus, lost.

The first moment for this year, taken on January 1st, 2014, is our dog, Charlie, taking a New Years Day snooze with me on this gray, quiet day. He nosed his way into the guest bedroom where I had just settled into and shut my eyes, and then hopped up on the bed and curled into this position. The room was instantly even calmer, with his quiet breathing and warm fur by my feet.
