While taking my walk one day this week, the podcast that I was listening to talked about delight. Now there is a good word that I don’t think of very often. I researched the difference between delight and joy, but did not find a definitive answer. Right now, delight seems to be an easier emotion than joy to focus on, as it keeps me in the present moment. Good food, wine and coffee are all delightful to me. There are also many wonderful things in nature - sunshine, trees, flowers, birds singing, mountains and oceans. My daughter-in-law just sent me several YouTube videos of she and my son playing mountain music that was delightful, and made me smile and tap my feet. Since I have not been able to see my sons and their families for an extended period of time, visiting with them on FaceTime or zoom is definitely an occasion for delight. Sometimes finding joy seems a little overwhelming, but I do think that I can focus on this word every day. Who knows where I will find delight tomorrow!
