Last night was one of those nights when I got all caught up in my mind with thoughts of, nobody called, nobody cares, and I hate to go to that place because it can really take me downhill fast with thoughts reeling of negativity. So this morning I woke up and decided I need to think about what delights me today. Things like...my husband waking me up every morning with a kiss before he goes to work and telling me that I'm beautiful and that he loves me, listening to the dogs snore on the sofa next to me while I type away on my computer, hearing my son come downstairs at 12:00 midnight and banging around the kitchen because he needs a snack, and having the comforting feeling that at least I know where he is, safe and at home, warming up my chai tea latte in the microwave and sipping this warm, spicy, comforting drink while I prepare myself for the day, sitting here in the still quiet of the house with the gas fireplace warming me and blankets and pillows ruffled about the sofa haphhazardly from the night before, being inspired by blogs I'm reading in my google reader, thanking the Lord for another day of beautiful life! Please share with me what you delight in today.

i always appreciate hearing what people are grateful for or what they delight in. i delight in knowing people are fighting for justice on behalf of others. i delight in the promise of spring that i'm still waiting for in colorado. i delight in dreaming up great adventures and i'm planning a sweet roadtrip on the northwest coast this summer!
Melissa, can I just start by saying I love that image. It evokes so many possible stories in my head...
I have taken delight in spending time with my niece and nephew today, they live a distance away from us but are staying at Grandma's because their Mum has been ill in hospital. So I have enjoyed time spent with them during their stay.

This is a lovely post because I've definitely been feeling down on myself the last couple of days. I need to buck up.
Today I delight in the book My Life in France, snuggling, a good episode of Oprah and a glittery banner at home.
Hope it is ok but I have just used this image for a post of my own.
It inspired so many thoughts, so thank you so much for sharing in the first place Melissa.
Thanks for posting this, Melissa. It's something positive that I needed to hear today, mid-week + feeling overwhelmed.
So, I am taking delight in this warm weather (even despite rain), and a delicious dinner cooked at home with my husband. Maybe ice cream, too, if I'm lucky.
Awesome way to re-frame life!! Big hugs!! I delight in your gorgeously candy colored posts and the wonderful friend you are. Loving playing with the kids on their spring break right now, along with the way my husband still makes kissy sounds to me when he calls me on the phone every day on his lunch break, finding awesome deals in thrift shops and cooking yummy smelling meals.
That is so sweet! I love when my husband kisses me goodbye too. :) Getting a new client delighted me today. Woohoo!
This totally is going to start my day off on the right foot! Thank you soooo much!
Melissa - I delight in honesty like that of yours found within this post. I delight in thanking the Lord, knowing others struggle just like me, my boys, laughter, my husband dancing like James Brown and coffee.
Brooke of pure and noble
