Delight

You know, I've never used the work "delight" in my everyday vocabulary, but I found a use for it today.  The sun finally showed it's face for more than 2 hours this week and I decided to go on an evening walk with Miss Kate.  The sun was low enough that I was able to lower the sun shade on the stroller and car seat to allow her to look around more.  As we were walking I looked down at her and noticed a HUGE smile on her face.  She was looking up at the trees that we were walking and every time we walked under another tree her entire face would break into a huge grin. Simple delight is the only way to describe what it looked like she was experiencing.

As any of you who are reading know, I am not what we would call an "optimist".  I tend to find the difficult, the injustice and the downright annoying in many situations and this little stroll helped me realize that I need to find more delight in my everyday life.  

So here are my "delights" for today:  

My 5-year-old nephew, Josh, absolutely adores Kate.  And likewise, Kate adores Josh.   Anytime they interact Kate is tickled pink.  What a blessing to have such a fun cousin so close by.  

We went to Wheeler farm this afternoon.  I haven't been there since I think about age 10.   It was so nice to see that some undeveloped land still exists in Salt Lake.   The pigs are still my favorite.

Fruit tree blossoms smell SOOOO good!
