A Delight of the Day.

This was an idea I heard on a podcast, and it resonated.  The idea is to think about one thing each day that you found delightful, and write it down.  Not practical.  Not wise.  Not necessary.  Just frivolously delightful.

The sudden lift, swooping up from a steep rise in the mountain bike trail is Delightful. I took 3 rides down the mountain bike park this afternoon, and the tracks smelled like warm pine needles in the sun.
