#OnePerfectThing in December

Perfection often feels out of reach. But however imperfect you’re finding life, you can make an effort to find #OnePerfectThing. Something which makes you pause, smile and feel thankful.

#OnePerfectThing is a community I started on Instagram back in May. I love how it’s grown over the last six months and looking through all the beautiful photos from like-minded people is always a pleasure.

And now here we are with the last gathered collection of the year. December has been a month of many parts, hasn’t it? The beginning of the month was characterised by a frenzy of activity: shopping, planning and making.

Jess’ photo of a perfect coffee reminds me of those days in early December when I made many a list over many a cup of coffee.

Then comes the festivities. A beautiful kaleidoscope of baubles, wreaths and gingerbread cookies. Caro’s picture of her son really summed up the nurturing, cherishing, magical feeling of Christmas days (as did her whole stream of photos, to be honest!).

And after the indulgence of Christmas came the frosty, bright days – full of good intentions and plans for the new year just waiting in the wings. This beautiful view from Andrew really captures that feeling perfectly, don’t you think?

Here are the rest of my favourites:

Thanks so much to everyone who has joined in this year! I can’t wait to see what the new year brings for us all.
