The lesson of delight


So it was The Thing this year for all the bloggers I follow to choose a word for the year and that sounded good to me, so I chose a word that I felt would reflect my philosophy of Enjoy and Love. And that word was "delight". It's been an interesting word to focus on because I quickly learned that delight is a strange bedfellow. Delight involves a sense of surprise. It isn't really like mellow joy. There's a little shock with delight. And here's the crazy thing, delight shows up in the strangest places, where you least expect it. Often the places you don't want to go. Suddenly, delight!
