In all my years of being married to my husband, he has never put the extra pillows on the bed in the morning after getting up. However, his favorite cat has decided this week that she likes this particular arrangement of pillows. Now they are on the bed in just this configuration every morning.

I'm attempting to take more pauses to appreciate things that I typically overlook or undervalue. My sandwich is just how I like it today. Appreciation post for a sandwich!

What are you appreciating today? Big or small, it matters.
