Delighted

“extremely pleased and excited about something”

What delights you? For me, I’m delighted when I experiment with a new-to-me art technique and it turns out even better than expected! I’m delighted when I get new art supplies. I’m delighted when I get to hang out with my friends. I’m delighted when I get to zoom with my brothers every week.

I’m delighted when my husband does household chores (he actually does them more than I do). I’m delighted when all of our spring bulbs start blooming in our yard. I’m delighted with the first snow fall. I’m delighted when I see rainbows, puppies, kittens, and sunsets on the Oregon coast. I’m especially delighted when my favorite food item goes on sale (Chocolove XO No Sugar Added, Mint in Dark Chocolate)

Today’s MotD encourages us to notice, as we go about our day, what delights us…from the little things to the big things…especially the small things. By focusing more on what delights us, we’re more likely to notice even more delightful occurrences thus uplifting us. And the more uplifted we are, the more we can uplift those around us and beyond. Sounds like a delightful plan.

How about you? Is being delighted a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with…

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
