A delight diary - what a fantastic idea. This post has a few of my all time favourite quotes in it - S Niequest on delight and Mary Oliver. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this Debbie. I love Ross Gay and his books on delight, which I think has a different flavor to it than gratitude. Delight seems broader, encompasses more. Hmmm.
Yes Emily! We talked about this on our Sunday night, about how delight feels more embodied, whereas gratitude can feel quite heady. Ross Gay's books are definitely on my TBR list now.
Oh that's so fun Laurene! The ukulele has to be one of the cheeriest instruments too. You're almost inspiring me to retrieve mine from it's dusty hiding place.

Yes, absolutely. A great way to put it, embodied.
I really enjoyed this post, Debbie. This week I delighted in belting out a song City of New Orleans with my ukulele group.

I really love the idea of keeping a delight diary. It would be so helpful in having a grateful heart.
Thanks Steve, it's got a flavour of the Examen doesn't it?
Oh absolutely! That's what I was thinking! I'm always looking for the consolation/desolation relationship and what a help this would be in doing that.
