What adds delight to your life?

  • hopefultraveler18

    Ice skating and yoga add delight to my life,

  • A mom

    I am trying my best to stay close to my diet. I was aware of every bite I put in my mouth and dealt with it out of guilt but understanding the changes needed. I graciously was able to a healthy conversation with David. He has a long list of issues but I was able to not point them out so he could heal.

    From base to upper layers:

    Exercise (gotta get in 45-1hr a day, it’s a priority,) healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, proper hydration — those are the base levels.

    Working out my feelings, finding solutions that are peaceful, seeking understanding of others create the next layers.

    Getting out in nature, meditation, playing (whether that’s making jokes or laughing about silly things,) various hobbies that help mindfulness are the next layers though they kind of intermingle with the above layer.

    And all throughout is helping others but I’m not effective at helping anyone (nor even want to) when my layers aren’t running smoothly.

    When things are balanced I tend to be pretty positive and find delight in a lot … when one of the layers, especially a base layer is out of whack I tend to have difficulty finding delight in small things.

    Being connected to my heart, serving others, and caring for myself adds so much. Creativity adds value and connection to God

  • Malag

    When something good happens, I aim to dwell just a few more seconds on it and that way the brain takes it in. It’s something to do with the brain noticing negative things quicker than positive do the positive needs that few more seconds.

  • Cha

    To be able to live with my family together under the same roof after a long time.

    Dance and music adds delight to my life. Life would be so dull without any music and goofy dancing to brighten it up. Also my little sister and my parents make my life worth living.

  • ToriB

    Something that adds delight to my life is myself. I have come a long way and I am amazed at myself and my journey.

  • Lisa

    That I’ve come so far in life from a negative broken person to a mature spiritual calm happy person

    • Michele

      A quote I love that helps me is “Do not let others negativity affect your inner peace”

  • Gerold Butler

    The laugh of a tiny baby, looking into any animal’s eyes, making other people laugh or smile, quiet time.

  • Ana Smith

    The curiosity of learning or it is the learning curiosity

  • Antoinette

    My three lovely boys, friends, and family add delight to my life. The small things in life add delight to my life like being able to notice the lights of the tea lights warm the room. Feeling at home and relaxed adds delight to my life.
    I’m grateful for being reminded to paying attention to delight.

  • Melissa

    Getting our new rescue puppy today! I am so excited to hold him.

  • Zenith

    Some of the chat groups in Duolingo Events are really fun at holiday time. Bright Christmas lights. Hope. Homemade bread. Playing Christmas carols on my piano. A leisurely ride on my bike in summer. A walk in the fall. Pickleball. So so much.

  • Rev. Rebecca

    Making people smile or laugh. It brings me joy to bring joy to others. There’s something about laughter that has a way of calming you inside and making you feel like everything is going to be okay.

  • Lauryn

    My cats. Sitting outside looking up at a blue sky every morning. Listening to music. Hiking in nature. Taking photos. Cooking and eating good healthy food. Traveling to new places. Connecting with my partner.

    My grandkids add delight to my life more than anything! My amazing boyfriend who shows me love in a way I never imagined was possible after trying so hard to find it and having 4 failed marriages. My ability to go to a great job that allows me to offer support to my family and provide us with a home. Going to the gym daily to strength my body. Putting up a Christmas tree for the first time since my brother died 10 years ago because it never felt the same without him. But the grandkids have given...

    My grandkids add delight to my life more than anything! My amazing boyfriend who shows me love in a way I never imagined was possible after trying so hard to find it and having 4 failed marriages. My ability to go to a great job that allows me to offer support to my family and provide us with a home. Going to the gym daily to strength my body. Putting up a Christmas tree for the first time since my brother died 10 years ago because it never felt the same without him. But the grandkids have given me a new outlook on the holiday and a reason to celebrate. Music that makes me want to dance and sing terribly but is a way to express how I feel at that moment. Life in general at this point of my journey adds delight and I am grateful to have made it through all the trials and tribulations to learn the lessons I have and make this time of my life wonderful!

    Ah, so many things add delight to my life. To name just a few, Mother Nature, Redwood Trees, my walks, flowers, the sky, the clouds, the moon, stars, my cat (who just went to heaven 😞), yoga, meditation, Art, Art museums, gratefulness.org., my beautiful daughter, coffee, ..... I could continue on & on.... Oh and yes right now, Holiday Lights. I am delighting in all the Lights everywhere. I guess so many of us feel after this tumultuous, unpredictable year, that we gotta Light up our homes...

    Ah, so many things add delight to my life.

I could continue on & on…. Oh and yes right now, Holiday Lights. I am delighting in all the Lights everywhere. I guess so many of us feel after this tumultuous, unpredictable year, that we gotta Light up our homes, our neighborhoods. I am trying to do the same and lighten up this moment. Happy Day All…❤️

    Walking in nature, dancing, singing, the smiles of small children

    I love Christmas decorations. Driving around and seeing everyone’s light displays, and looking at our own little tree brings me the joy of a child.
