Delightful Things

Prompt: Yesterday, I inquired about something that frustrated you. Today, let's talk about something that delighted you.

Most everything is delightful if I look at things from the right angle. Just that I wake up every morning and know that I am alive is delightful enough.

On the other hand, smiles on people delight me a lot. I love it when my husband, children, daughter in-law, and friends have genuine smiles on their faces. Yesterday, on FB, a baby’s smile delighted me the most, although it was only a photo, but the smile was open, unaffected, and so, so cute. That smile belongs to Daisy, Creeper Of The Realm‘s baby daughter.

Then, this morning, a flock of white ibises descended on our lawn like a white fluffy cloud. I love the togetherness of these birds. Their spindly legs and curved long beaks and their conversations with one another is delightful to take in. Instead of going to the mailbox to post a letter, I stood motionless at the door and watched them. A bit later, I came back in and waited for them to take off to my neighbor’s yard. Only then, I went out and put the letter in the mailbox.

Such a delightful morning moment it was, me watching those birds!
