What absolutely delights you?
This seems an important question to answer, and one that could be a guide for life. Shouldn’t we all be spending our time doing things that delight us? I think the world would be a better place if we were.
So, I’ve been thinking about this. I’ve come up with a short list of things that delight me. I will be adding to it no doubt.
Tea – It is not the beverage I love, but the experience of having tea with friends. I love the pretty, unusual food. It’s a real treat to sit down and be able to relax, immerse myself in the experience, have delicious bites of different kinds of food, served on beautiful dishes in lovely settings. So, what absolutely delights me is the tea experience. I rarely drink tea otherwise.
Art – Talking with my friend, Jocelyn, about art is always wonderful. We talk about possibilities and look at what’s being created and think about what could be created. That absolutely delights me. Making art also delights me, but in a different way. Visiting art museums and seeing impressionist art delights me.
Conversation – Talking with people about creativity, happiness, or other mutually interesting topics is a delight. I love that give and take we experience.
Travel – being immersed in newness delights me. Especially if I’m interacting with people in new and different ways.
I am finding it difficult to define these things in a way that I can explain to others. That tells me I need to spend more time contemplating this question of what absolutely delights me.
